In these poems characters from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream float in and out of contemporary landscapes, contemplating love, art, language, and otherness in both mischievous and serious ways. Here "quick bright things" sometimes "come to confusion" but just as often come to tenderness and understanding. Alicia Partnoy's inspired translations into Spanish uncover surprising moments of surreal beauty and cross-cultural insight. Text in English and Spanish.
