"Mark's cryptic remarks from an old notebook, something like: 'Delight in giving up sprang into his craning dinosaur head.' Anyway, as with Cortazar's masterpiece novel Hopscotch, you skip around---he encourages it---these generous, pensive, and playful poems to wonders and rhythms on every page. Hear the bandoneon's gentle urging in 'The Getaway Polka.' Pre-hear the pre-echo from a vinyl record scientifically dissected in 'For Listening Through Headphones.' Like their peerless writer, his people 'throw into the most serious moments a large portion of play.' Neruda famously said, 'Anyone who doesn't read Cortazar is doomed.' Might I suggest you avoid your doom with this fantastic little book?" [Staff Pick] "World renowned as a master of modern fiction, Julio Cortazar was also a prolific poet. While living in Paris during the last months of his life, Cortazar assembled his life's work in verse for publication, and SAVE TWILIGHT selects the best of that volume, making his poems available in English for the very first time. This expanded edition, with nearly one hundred new pages of poems, prose and illustrations, is a book to be savored by both the familiar reader and the newcomer to Cortazar's work. Ranging from the intimate to the political, tenderness to anger, heartbreak to awe, in styles both formal and free, Cortazar the subverter of genres is revealed as a versatile and passionate virtuoso. More than a collection of poems, this book is a playful and revealing self-portrait of a writer in love with language in all its forms." [publisher's copy] "Kessler has found just the right turns of phrase in English to capture the Argentine's deeply moving writing and exceptionally emotive language. What a gift this collection is for English-speaking readers."---Edith Grossman. "Some people run the world, others are the world. Cortazar's poems are the world; they have a special consideration for the unknown."---Enrique Vila-Matas. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no marks & no creases in spine. Highly recommended.
