Rhythmic and vibrant, these poems are brimming with life and overflowing with meaning. First published in Buenos Aires as Arte de morir in 1977, this collection features the original poems side-by-side with their English translations. The book brings the powerful artistry of Hahn to a wider audience that suits the multicultural veins that weave in and out of his poems, and represents the collection that brought Hahn to light as a significant writer in world poetry.
