What is Toward the Splendid City (English and Spanish Edition) about?

<p>Poetry. In this bilingual collection of poetry, Marjorie Agosin focuses on the great cities of the world and the suffering endured there as the result of war and similar atrocities. With a spare hand, Agosin also creates haunting and memorable portraits of the people who populate this landscape, allowing us to see that at the core of our existence is something human, something indeed splendid.</p> <p>"Collection divided into four sections, each devoted to a different city but unified by the poet's quest for splendor amid suffering and injustice. No ancillary material; translations are excellent, however. Bilingual format (Spanish on the right, English on the left) is provocative"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58. </p>
