Nigredo
Marta del Pozo
Translated by Peter Kahn
“Nigredo draws from the deepest layers of a tradition of selves, offering a narrative that moves us and renews our perspective on both poetry and the world.” Raúl Zurita
“Following the trajectory of a journey as mysterious as it is revealingly passionate, the poet ventures into the transformations of language to broaden the meaningful horizons for the future.” Juan Carlos Mestre
“Her voice possesses an unusual strength, and her books refresh both themes and forms with an avant-garde approach that sets them apart from the tradition of recent Spanish realism.” Juan Carlos Abril
MARTA DEL POZO is the author of the poetry collections Escuela de geómetras and Hambre de imágenes (published bilingually as Hunger of Images by Foundlings Press, NY). Nigredo received the Ibero-American Poetry Award Entreversos judged by the poets Raúl Zurita, Juan Carlos Mestre, and José María Zonta. She teaches at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth and is the founding editor of Quantum Prose.
