About this product

Product Information

Winner of the 2016 Cliff Becker Book Prize in Translation In Returnings, we are treated to an essay on the imaginative possibilities of a great poet, long exiled from his native land, turning memory into verse, recovering from the past everything that counts: love and friendship and the landscapes that shaped him.
