{"product_id":"ex-voto","title":"Ex-Voto","description":"“Adélia Prado’s most recent collection of poems, once more in Ellen Doré Watson’s superbly energetic and natural English, is nothing like any poetry I know in our present moment. Her humor, her dancing solidity, her joy in being alive — I think back to Chaucer, and the poems of Grace Paley. Prado is similarly voluble, playful, down to earth, and cheerful; and she seems to have an uncannily easy-going, even merry relationship with God and all his family. She has given us a perfectly crystalline ex-voto.”—Jean Valentine. Ex-Voto is the second collection of Prado’s poetry translated by Ellen Doré Watson. Their previous collaborative volume, The Alphabet in the Park: Selected Poems (Wesleyan University Press, 1990), was abundantly praised: “The life captured in Prado’s poems is convulsive: from a dark corner of despair she can rocket to pure joy in one line… This is poetry at its hottest and most naked…”—James Tate","brand":"Tupelo Press, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54703660630360,"sku":"9781936797301","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781936797301_de7bd266-1cf6-4890-9c4c-c1508aa4151a.jpg?v=1777926625","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/ex-voto","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
