Translations from Memory

About this book

A powerful exploration of memory, culture, and identity through poetry.

Fred D'Aguiar translates cultural and personal memories into evocative poems, spanning from the epic of Gilgamesh to modern icons like C.L.R. James and Aimé Césaire. His work navigates classical philosophy and the unpredictable destinies of the New World.

This collection integrates tributes with sharp ironies, revealing D'Aguiar's learned perspective and keen awareness of historical false notes. Experience his passionate response to deep emotions, from desire and love to elegy and celebration. Perfect for poetry enthusiasts and students of Caribbean literature.
