About the Book

Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Mark Weiss. The poetry of Kozer, in this beautifully selected & translated edition, moves from a particular person & place (Cuban, Jewish, caught between home & exile) into a tangle of locations & perceptions that gives his poetry a nearly epic status. While the work has an avant-garde (neobaroque) foundation--& it does--it's the humanity of the writing (passionate & comic by turns & always precisely referential) that predicts its lasting greatness. A resident of America & of the world, Jose Kozer is a poet who works at full throttle, gives us thereby what poetry has never done before & what it has always done--Jerome Rothenberg. Jose Kozer came to the United States from his native Havana as a twenty year old in 1960. Since then he has become recognized throughout the Spanish-speaking world as the foremost Cuban poet of his generation and one of Latin America's most influential poets. STET is his first major bilingual publication.

About the Author :
Jos' Kozer was born in Havana in 1940, one of the leading lights of the neobarroco movement in Latin American poetry, is the son of parents who migrated to Cuba from Poland and Czechoslovakia in the 1920s, and the grandson of a founder of Cuba's first Ashkenazi synagogue. He studied law at the University of Havana, left Cuba in 1960, and received a BA from New York University in 1965. He taught for many years at Queens College, City University of New York, retiring as a full professor in 1997, after which he lived for two years in Spain before settling in South Florida. He is the author of over 15 collections of verse. His most recent, No buscan reflejarse (2002), a selection from past volumes, is the first poetry collection by a living Cuban exile to be published in Havana. Two small bilingual collections of his poems, The Ark Upon the Number (1982) and Pr[jimos / Intimates (Barcelona, 1990), both translated by Amiel Alcalay, have been published. Stet, his own far more comprehensive selection of poems, will appear in a bilingual edition, with translations by Mark Weiss, from Junction Press in 2005. A selected poems will appear from Vizor in Spain in 2006.
