THE FIRE'S JOURNEY COMPLETE SET Eunice Odio

Translated from the Spanish by Keith Ekiss with Sonia P. Ticas and Mauricio Espinoza. Contributions by Cristina Herrera Mezgravis.

“The cardinal virtue of Eunice Odio’s works is their exceptional quality, immersed in a captivating and evocative atmosphere that rewards sensitive souls with inner experiences that open up into wide horizons. Her masterpiece, the magnificent metaphysical poem El tránsito de fuego, is one of the greatest works of poetry of all time.”

—Peggy von Mayer Chaves

why we're different

We believe that books are more than words—that’s why all of our titles are issued in a beautifully designed, uniform series in both paperback and hardcover editions. Even though digital short-run printing, e-books, and print-on-demand platforms are markedly inexpensive alternatives to craft printing, we’ve chosen to offset print all of our full-length collections on Heidelberg printing presses here in the United States to create books that are exceptionally beautiful and a joy to hold. 

 
 
 

“Poetry from the Welsh, the Arabic, the Swedish, the Hebrew! Poetry from too-long-overlooked masters. Epics! Haiku! All created with an old-fashioned sense of durable, high-quality design...and the promise to carry poetry in all of its glory into the newfangled future.”

—Albert Goldbarth, two-time National Book Critics Circle award winner for poetry
