SUR - Otros puntos de vista

This suite of short poems with Latin American references draws from original versions written in Spanish in 2008 and early 2011. It now follows on from other poems with Latin American refrerences written by the poet in languages other than Spanish as part of the poet's interest in 'trilingual poetics'. Spanish is not the first language of the writer nor is the poet of Latin American heritage. It is part of a 'corpus' of poems which aims to explore the potentialities of multiple language perspectives associated with or derived from a single poetic theme or set of themes. It is also part of the poet's explorations of what can be derived from some identification as a poet 'of the south'.
