Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Ernesto Cardenal, widely acknowledged as Latin America's greatest living poet, continues to craft works of striking beauty, as demonstrated in this collections title poem, an exquisite meditation on Charles Darwins theory of evolution. Among the twenty new poems included here are many appearing for the first time in English, some for the first time anywhere. Cardenal has also added new cantigas, or cantos, to supplement his booklength masterpiece, Cosmic Canticle. There is order even in the foam of a torrent, affirms Cardenal. Evolution, natural selection, existence, and purpose figure into this complex symphony. In his characteristic blend of poetry, politics, and prayer, he grapples with elemental questions of life, delivering a thoughtprovoking, joyous vision of an earthly paradise in which humanity must find its role and calling.
