Book Description "Schafer makes Huerta, who might be seen as 'difficult,' accesible to readers without sacrificing any of the startling images, leaps of meaning, and emotional resonance the poet uses to great effect....Copper Canyon Press continues its highly regarded and important task of providing English-language readers with the best of poetry from Mexico, as well as many other parts of the world....Those who are interested in the poetry of our close neighbor to the south, or simply good poetry, will find David Huerta's latest collection a remarkable and satisfying read." -- ForeWord "For the first time, American readers will discover that Mexican poetry has continued in the tradition of greats like Octavio Paz and Jose Emilio Pacheco, but also that writers like Huerta have transported Mexico's poetic legacy onto a whole new plane of the imagination." -- The Bloomsbury Review David Huerta is one of the leading contemporary poets in Mexico, and Before Saying Any of the Great Words is the first comprehensive bilingual anthology of his work. This volume highlights poems from nineteen books and includes the first-ever English translation of Huerta's monumental book-length poem "Incurable," which one critic called "a masterpiece of poetry in Spanish in the twentieth century."
