Lágrima roja, Xánath Caraza's award-winning poetry collection is now available in
a bilingual English and Greek volume (Red
Teardrop/Κόκκινο δάκρυ) These poems focus on the
abuse of Mexican women but speak to the suffering of women and indigenous
peoples the world over. The English translations by Sandra Kingery and Aaron
Willsea are well-crafted and convey the passion and force of the Caraza's Spanish
poetry. Natasa Lambrou's renditions in Greek are breathtaking: in the hands of
this gifted translator, the musicality and the flexible syntax of Greek, the
closeness of many sounds to the Spanish, and the easy coexistence of multiple
registers in Greek all contribute to the beauty of these poems. Both the
English and Greek versions bring to readers the striking imagery and passionate
commitment, the unique voice of Caraza's Spanish poetry.
