Paperback. Zustand: New. Second Edition. One of Publishers Weekly's Most Anticipated Books for Fall 2016 "Cortazar's verse is more traditional than his fiction, but his style and themes are in harmony across genres: eccentric, mystical, full of animals but deeply human. Cortazar is a people's poet, accessible from every angle, a…nd his position as a titan of the Latin American boom is indisputable."--Publishers Weekly, starred review World renowned as one of the masters of modern fiction, Julio Cortazar was also a prolific poet. While living in Paris during the last months of his life, Cortazar assembled his life's work in verse for publication, and Save Twilight selects the best of that volume, making his poems available in English for the very first time. This expanded edition, with nearly one hundred new pages of poems, prose and illustrations, is a book to be savored by both the familiar reader and the newcomer to Cortazar work. Ranging from the intimate to the political, tenderness to anger, heartbreak to awe, in styles both traditionally formal and free, Cortazar the poet and subverter of genres is revealed as a versatile and passionate virtuoso.More than a collection of poems, this book is a playful and revealing self-portrait of a writer in love with language in all its forms. Praise for Save Twilight: "With this expanded edition of Save Twilight, Stephen Kessler continues his project, begun in the 1980s, of translating poetry by Julio Cortazar. Widely known for his fiction, especially Hopscotch, a seminal work of the Latin American Boom, Cortazar was also a compelling poet. Kessler has found just the right turns of phrase in English to capture the Argentine's deeply moving writing and exceptionally emotive language. What a gift this collection is for English-speaking readers."--Edith Grossman, winner of the PEN/Ralph Manheim Medal for Translation "Some people run the world, others are the world. Cortazar's poems are the world; they have a special consideration for the unknown."--Enrique Vila-Matas, author of The Illogic of Kassel "What a pleasure, this walk in a well-orchestrated park with shades as complex, as light and as dark, as multifoliate as the actual world!This book--the 'poetic ecology' Cortazar had envisioned--is an open invitation to make yourselves at home twixt sea and loss, wine and sorrow, birth and riptide, tobacco and talk, laughter and death. Nothing human is foreign to the poet--and he brings it home with great clarity and grace. The writing and the book embody a tradition of hospitality, or as Cortazar puts it: 'Hello little black book for the late hours, cats on the prowl under a paper moon.' The injunction to save twilight stands as title--it is also exactly what the writing accomplishes. Stephen Kessler's elegant, accurate, and sometimes felicitously ose translations do these poems more than justice."--Pierre Joris, author of Barzakh (Poems 2000-2012) "For those who have enjoyed Cortazar's fiction, among the most seminal and compelling of our tim.

Soft cover. Zustand: As New. 2nd Edition. Expanded edition, in English & Spanish. Twilight bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in good AS NEW condition. "Mark's cryptic remarks from an old notebook, something like: 'Delight in giving up sprang into his craning dinosaur head.' Anyway, as with Cortazar's masterpiece novel Hopscotc…h, you skip around---he encourages it---these generous, pensive, and playful poems to wonders and rhythms on every page. Hear the bandoneon's gentle urging in 'The Getaway Polka.' Pre-hear the pre-echo from a vinyl record scientifically dissected in 'For Listening Through Headphones.' Like their peerless writer, his people 'throw into the most serious moments a large portion of play.' Neruda famously said, 'Anyone who doesn't read Cortazar is doomed.' Might I suggest you avoid your doom with this fantastic little book?" [Staff Pick] "World renowned as a master of modern fiction, Julio Cortazar was also a prolific poet. While living in Paris during the last months of his life, Cortazar assembled his life's work in verse for publication, and SAVE TWILIGHT selects the best of that volume, making his poems available in English for the very first time. This expanded edition, with nearly one hundred new pages of poems, prose and illustrations, is a book to be savored by both the familiar reader and the newcomer to Cortazar's work.

More than a collection of poems, this book is a playful and revealing self-portrait of a writer in love with language in all its forms." [publisher's copy] "Kessler has found just the right turns of phrase in English to capture the Argentine's deeply moving writing and exceptionally emotive language. What a gift this collection is for English-speaking readers."---Edith Grossman. "Some people run the world, others are the world. Cortazar's poems are the world; they have a special consideration for the unknown."---Enrique Vila-Matas. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no marks & no creases in spine. Highly recommended.
