The Subtle Folds of Shadows<\/i> is a bilingual selection of poems from ten collections of verse by the Chilean writer \u00d3scar Hahn. Spanning the author\u2019s more than six-decade career, these works, selected and translated by G. J. Racz, reflect Hahn\u2019s signature themes: the sometimes adversarial nature of love, meditations on existence, fantasias on historical figures, the poetic tradition, the folly of humankind, and the horrors of political oppression. Hahn handles these often ontic, even fantastic subjects in a variety of poetic styles, from rhyming sonnets to free verse, showcasing a formal versatility that has made his voice one of the most compelling and enduring in Latin American literature to this day.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

The understated mastery of \u00d3scar Hahn\u2019s latest collection reflects the confidence of a poet who has been honing his craft for decades. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A wonderful selection spanning fifty years of poetry, this book highlights the poetic verve of Chilean poet \u00d3scar Hahn in a remarkable bilingual edition with G. J. Racz\u2019s excellent rendering into English.<\/span><\/p>\n

G. J. Racz re-creates in English the stunning poetry of \u00d3scar Hahn with great aplomb and flair. Highly skilled as a translator of both free verse and traditional verse forms, Racz gives Anglophone readers the chance to appreciate the full artistry of Hahn\u2019s work.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2026Racz\u2019s mastery of rhythm and rhyme seems effortless. His poems possess an unflinching drive and tight sound pattern weave. However, what is most striking and pleasurable is how Racz is never stingy in his delivery of the English language, which here gives the sense of a chalice he himself brims with red wine.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00d3scar Hahn creates a poetic chiaroscuro wielding love, memories, works of art, sex, and pretty much any other traditional talisman or ritual you can find against the pervasive powers of death. In his more somber moments, he serves as witness to state violence and predations. G. J. Racz, bringing extensive experience in the translation of poetry, navigates the challenges of rhythm, rhyme, and tone in the English with energies matching Hahn\u2019s own.<\/span><\/p>\n
