Where War Was. Poems and Translations from Eritrea
Poems and Translations from Eritrea
Description
Charles Cantalupo has written a book that crosses all the genres: Where War Was: Poems and Translations from Eritrea is part translation, part reflection, part epic, illustrated with starkly beautiful photographic images by Lawrence Sykes. Cantalupo's poetry recounts his own journey in Eritrea, and his translations of poems by Eritrean writers are authentic and memorable. - Alexandra Dugdale, Editor, Modern Poetry in Translation
Charles Cantalupo has two previous collections of poetry - Light the Lights and Animal Woman and Other Spirits. His translations of Eritrean poetry include We Have Our Voice, We Invented the Wheel, and Who Needs a Story, and he has written War and Peace in Contemporary Eritrean Poetry. Distinguished Professor of English, Comparative Literature, and African Studies at Penn State University, he is also the author of books on Thomas Hobbes and Ng¿g¿ wa Thiong'o and a memoir, Joining Africa - From Anthills to Asmara.
