A Cage to Welcome

Cyrus Cassells, a masterful poet and translator, has created a unique and powerful hybrid translation/poetic homage to Catalunyas great twentieth-century poet Salvador Espriu. The lions share of To the Cypress Again and Again is a supple translation of Esprius first book, Sinera Cemetery, along with selections from other collections. A reader will come away with a poignant sense of Esprius beloved seaside landscape as well as, in Esprius words, his precious Catalans/ mysterious gold.
