Will aptly serve to introduce a whole new generation
Selected Poems/Poesia Selecta is a bilingual (English/Spanish) anthology showcase the poetry of the pre-eminent Latin American poet Luis Pales Matos. Ably translated by Julio Marzan, this Arte Publico Press edition will aptly serve to introduce a whole new generation to one of Puerto Rico's finest poets. The Well: My soul is like a well of deaf, deep water/on whose solemn, unrippled peace/days wheel, drowning their daily murmur; in the calm that curdles in barren hollows.//Below, the water lays its agony brightness,/a feeble iridescence fermenting in darkness;/lymphs that clot into long black slime/and exude this bloodless blue phosphorescence.//My soul is like a well. The sleepy water landscape/trembling composes itself and disperses,/while below, fathoms, perhaps a thousand years back,/dreams a crouched, misanthropic frog.//At times under the moon's long influence,/the well displays the misty magic of a fable:/a frog's deep croaking echoes in its water,/and it brims with a faint sense of eternity.
