Title: Looking for the Horse Latitudes
First published: January 11, 2008
Description: *Looking for the Horse Latitudes* is a stunning poetry collection from esteemed poet and translator Miguel Gonzalez-Gerth. Describing this bilingual volume as "a laboratory in which a very interesting experiment has been carried out," Gonzalez-Gerth writes in both Spanish and English and moves deftly between the two languages, creating a voice both cosmopolitan and intensely Latin American. These poems offer the reader a world of oceanic beauty, an enchanting seascape of mermaids and shipwrecks, sirens and seabirds. Playful and profound in turns, *Looking for the Horse Latitudes* is a welcome contribution to this outstanding poet's body of work, and an important addition to any poetry collection.
