Sometimes I Write Poems and Sometimes I Write Poems

sometimes I write poems and sometimes I write poems is a witty, acerbic selection from the Mexican poet MartiÌn Rangel. Rangel keeps an ear pressed to the modern world and its various indignities, his bleak humour is perfectly captured by Schimel, an award winning translator, serving up irreverent, ironic moments like 'I translate to steal' and 'i decay like the year'. This bilingual edition is an amusing and inventive introduction to an essential young poet.
