"Elsewhere" edited by Eliot Weinberger *****


  • Poetry
  • Japan, Haiti, Portugal, Senegal, Chile, Germany, Mexico, Turkey, Nicaragua, Austria, France, Spain
  • Originally published by Open Letter in 2014
  • Review:  Fantastic!  A book of poetry by poets from around the world, all of which are written about being "elsewhere".  Poems about Paris by a Chilean, a Japanese, and an Andean.  Better yet, each poem is followed by a brief biographical note about the poet and if he was affiliated with a particular school of poetry.  Only question....why no women?  Other than the gender issue, this collection is a gem!!
