Selected Poems By Julio Cortázar ; Translated By Stephen Kessler. The landmark publication of Cortázar's poetry, available for the first time in English translation. World-renowned as a master of modern fiction, Cortázar was also a prolific poet who, in the final months of his life, assembled what he wanted saved of his life's work in verse. Informed by his immersion in world literature, music, art, and history, and most of all his own emotional geography, Cortázar's poetry traces his paradoxical evolution from provincial Argentinean sophisticate to cosmopolitan Parisian Romantic, always maintaining the sense of astonishment of an artist surprised by life. --City Lights Books "The power of eros, the enduring beauty of art, a love-hate nostalgia for his Argentine homeland, the bonds of friendship and the tragic folly of politics are some of the themes of Save Twilight. Informed by his immersion in world literature, music, art, and history, and most of all his own emotional geography, Cortazar's poetry traces his paradoxical evolution from provincial Argentinean sophisticate to cosmopolitan Parisian Romantic, always maintaining the sense of astonishment of an artist surprised by life."--BOOK JACKET "Selections from CortGazar's 1984 collection Salvo el crepGusculo (see HLAS 50:3601), including prose commentaries from that volume.
