This is a marvellous read. Dark and grisly as ever - modern villains, heroes and other players shed a resonant light on then and now, just as great translations always do.
'Here is a poet who speaks to and through troubled history, emerging unscathed from the many circles of hell, keeping intact a propulsive heart that beats to Caribbean rhythms.'
