“Love is the finest,” writes Jaime Sabines, “the most shuddering, / the most unendurable, silence.”
Available for the first time as a complete selection in English, Love Poems presents Jaime Sabines’ powerful erotic verse in an exceptional translation by Irish Canadian poet Colin Carberry.
Jaime Sabines, Mexico’s most influential modern poet, was born in Chiapas in 1926. He received numerous literary awards and honors over the course of his career. Sabines died in Mexico City in 1999.
