The Hunts, by Amelia Biagioni, is a book of poems written originally in Spanish.
Description edit
A bilingual edition of an astonishing poetic cycle that ranges across time and space to recreate the eternal hunt: the unstoppable, restless process of the universe chasing, tormenting, and consuming itself.
Summary edit
A bilingual edition of Las Cacerías, an enraptured poetic cycle that takes the reader through the delirious swirl of the eternal hunt on Earth and in heaven, in the past, present, and future. Sections of the cycle relate to the ancient sport of man pursuing beast, beast pursuing beast, man pursuing man, and the poet's quest to capture life and identity within words. The final section presents the author as a woman pursued as a heretic, for having "spied on God."
Reviews edit
"... the poetry of Las Cacerías is akin to ritual and hymn..."[1]
