Her surreal and fable-like prose poems invite comparison to Franz Kafka, Julio Cortázar, or even contemporary American poets Russell Edson and Charles Simic. But di Giorgio's voice, imagery, and themes—childhood, the Uruguayan countryside, a perception of the sacred—are her own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePreviously written off as \"the mad woman of Uruguayan letters,\" di Giorgio's reputation has blossomed in recent years. Translator Adam Giannelli's careful selection of poems spans the enormous output of di Giorgio's career to help further introduce English-language readers to this vibrant and original voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDiadem: Selected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e highlights this remarkable transformation and offers readers a window into di Giorgio's unique perspective. Marosa di Giorgio was born in Salto, Uruguay, in 1932. Her first book, \u003ci\u003ePoemas\u003c\/i\u003e, was published in 1953. Also a theatre actress, she moved to Montevideo in 1978, where she lived until her death in 2004.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596212945132,"sku":"9781934414972","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781934414972-diadem-selected-poems.jpg?v=1777918214","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/diadem-selected-poems-by-marosa-di-giorgio-9781934414972","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
