From Rub n Dar o's quest to renew the Spanish language to C sar Vallejo's linking of religion and politics, from Jorge Luis Borges's cosmopolitanism to Pablo Neruda's placement of poetry as uncompromising speaker for the downtrodden, and from Alejandra Pizarnik's agonies of the self to Humberto Ak'abal's examination of all things indigenous, it is through verse that the hemisphere's cantankerous collective soul in an age of overhaul might best be understood. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA brilliant, moving, and thought-provoking summation of these forking paths, \u003ci\u003eThe FSG Book of Twentieth-Century Latin American Poetry \u003c\/i\u003einvites us to look at an illustrious literary tradition with fresh eyes.
