Republic of Poetry

Meer over het boek

Martín Espada's eighth poetry collection explores the transformative power of poetry through vivid imagery and imaginative scenarios. The Republic of Poetry serves as a vibrant realm filled with odes, elegies, and the intertwining of collective memory and hidden histories. In this unique landscape, poets transcend mortality, engage in dreamlike visits, and even deploy helicopters to deliver poems, reflecting themes of redemption and the miraculous nature of poetic expression.
