Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Spanish by Amanda Hopkinson, Daniel Borzutzky, and Cole Heinowitz. FLOWERS FOR THE DEAD is a carefully selected collection of poems by Mexican poet Luis Felipe Fabre. It is divided into three sections: "A Season in (Aztec) Hell," "Funerary Monument to Ger�nimo Calbo," and "Notes on a Zombie Cataclysm." Written originally in Spanish and translated into English by Amanda Hopkinson, Daniel Borzutzky, and Cole Heinowitz, Fabre's poetic and social critique is permeated with satire, desire and tragedy, revealing a contemporary aesthetic and political urgency that is native of its own geography and sociopolitical dynamics.
