{"product_id":"9781936797301","title":"Ex-Voto : Poems of Adelia Prado by Adelia Prado","description":"\"Ad?lia Prado's most recent collection of poems, once more in Ellen Dor? Watson's superbly energetic and natural English, is nothing like any poetry I know in our present moment. Her humor, her dancing solidity, her joy in being alive - I think back to Chaucer, and the poems of Grace Paley. Prado is similarly voluble, playful, down to earth, and cheerful; and she seems to have an uncannily easy-going, even merry relationship with God and all his family. She has given us a perfectly crystalline ex-voto.\"-Jean Valentine. Ex-Voto is the second collection of Prado's poetry translated by Ellen Dor? Watson. Their previous collaborative volume, The Alphabet in the Park: Selected Poems (Wesleyan University Press, 1990), was abundantly praised: \"The life captured in Prado's poems is convulsive: from a dark corner of despair she can rocket to pure joy in one line. This is poetry at its hottest and most naked.\"-James Tate\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309132132725,"sku":"9781936797301","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781936797301","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
