Late to the House of Words - by Gemma Gorga (Paperback)

Late to the House of Words: Selected Poems of Gemma Gorga is a bilingual edition that brings together six of this contemporary Catalan poet's books in one volume, introduced, selected, and translated by award-winning American poet Sharon Dolin.

This collection showcases Gorga's work in lineated verse over more than twenty years, offering poems that are as limpid yet intricate as those of Jane Hirshfield.

With an air of enchantment and the sheer inventiveness of a contemporary Scheherazade, Gemma Gorga strikes sparks again and again.

This necessary book is a must-read for anyone interested in language, metaphysics, and poetry's dance between word and silence.
