Poetry Corner

Just stumbled across these couple of lines on his wikipedia page, and I liked them.


No hay lado colombiano

No hay lado peruano

Solo hay lado humano


You have to scroll down the wikipedia page for the english translation. More of his poetry is here.

Saw him give a reading many, many years ago (1979!) in Birmingham Town Hall (I was doing Russian A level). Some of his poems are just stunning, even in translation. He seems to be enjoying a new lease of life, too. He was over at the Galway festival last year.
