By (author): Pablo Valdivia

Translated by: Ross Woods

Pablo Valdivia's debut collection, Respirar bajo el agua (Breathing Underwater), stands as a conversation between a young man and the world around him. It is a collection tinged with aching nostalgia -- an emotion intensified by the often sterile images inspired by the Swedish and English backdrops in many of its poems. Fittingly, Valdivia borrows a line from Natalia Ginzburg to begin one section: England is beautiful and melancholic. And, with this epigraph, he succinctly describes his own poems; they are beautiful and melancholic. See more
