FRANCISCO ARAGON, possibly one of the best Latinx poets writing today, has created a thing of beauty in His Tongue a Swath of Sky (available from author, franciscoaragon.net). It’s both a poetic meditation and a thought-provoking conversation with Nicaraguan poet Ruben Dario.
As well as including seven of Dario’s Spanish-language originals and translations of his work, the pamphlet incorporates some of Aragon’s poems from his upcoming full-length collection After Ruben, due out next year.
