Yet all his concerns are rigorously analysed through the medium of the poet's art, steeped in literary tradition and craft. He is widely considered Argentina's most important and influential contemporary poet, with an international reputation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany of Raimondi's poems address what might seem unlikely subjects for poetry: industrial practices, global trade, or labour legislation. Yet among the allusions, the immense research, the unsparing gaze, and the expert skill of the language there's also room for desert-dry humour, touches of self-deprecation and immense empathy for individuals caught up in seemingly implacable historical processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume includes a generous selection of his poems from \u003cem\u003ePoesía civil (Civil Poetry)\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eLexikón (Lexikon)\u003c\/em\u003e in bilingual Spanish-English facing-pages format. A substantial introduction by the translators places Raimondi's work in its literary and wider cultural context, and reflects on the challenges faced when bringing his unique poetry into English.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46445546766487,"sku":"9781837644445","price":16746.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781837644445.webp?v=1769134539","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/sergio-raimondi-selected-poems-9781837644445","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
