In the beginning of the 1980's and during the dictatorship that started in Argentina in 1976 and ended in 1983–a small poetry magazine, XUL, published its first issue. Since then, and until the present, the magazine has called for a discussion of poetry and writing in which politics and formal experimentation were no longer conceived as mutually exclusive. We have now, for the first time, a bilingual anthology that presents us with the unmapped territory of Argentina's poetry of the last 16 years, a retrospective view as much as a way of knowing what to expect in the coming years.
Ernesto Livon-Grosman was born in Argentina, lives in Cambridge, MA, and teaches at Boston College's Communication Department. He is the author/editor of multiple books, including The Xul Reader (Roof), The Oxford Book of Latin American Poetry: A Bilingual Anthology, José Lezama: The Oxford Lima Selections, and a book of translations of Charles Olsen Poemas.
