A knockout selection of Argentine poems with a shedload of memorable lines. i.e.
“My rubber-soled happiness makes me bounce over the sand.”
“When I arrive at the corner, my shadow separates from me and suddenly throws itself under the wheels of a streetcar.”
“Females with fidgety haunches, a little foam in their armpits and over-oiled eyes.”
“The casino sips the last drops of dusk.”
Translation impeccable.
