Elsa Cross (b. 1946) is one of Mexico's ost significant contemporary poets and thi is the first full-length collection of her work in English, a long overdue but welcome opportunity for Anglo-American readers to get a sense of the full breadth of her work. The work selected for this volume concentrates on her longer poems, which are at the core of elsa Cross's work.
Elsa Cross' work is typified by its strong metaphysical orientation, coupled with a dazzing surface and remarkable imagery, and offers the English-speaking reader a new experience. A poetry to be savoured, thanks to the efforts of the five translators at work here, all of whom worked closely with the author to bring these poems successfully across the language barrier.

From 1936, when Rojas joined the surrealist goup Mandragora, to the present, Rojas has published major collections of poetry: selections from all of his earlier volumes appear in From the Lightning.
Rojas has received most of the major prizes of the Spanish-speaking literary world, including the Premio Reina Sofia, and has been nominated for a Nobel Prize.
This new volume from Green Integer brings to the English-language audience a large selection of poetry by one of the most revered of contemporary writers.
