Born in Madrid in 1955, Julio Mart\u00ednez Mesanza is a significant figure among the generation of poets who came into prominence after the death of Franco. With subjects ranging from the Roman legions to D-Day, from the Babylonian exile to the haunted landscapes of domestic loss, these poems are engaged with the past and at the same time profoundly contemporary, illuminating the ethical issues at the heart of civilization, warfare, and daily life.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vivid, immediate, compressed, often violent, these poems have a lot to offer American readers and writers. Julio Mart\u00ednez Mesanza presents the\u00a0<span class=\"Italic\">pastness<\/span>\u00a0of present things. Thanks to translator Don Bogen, that quality is available to us, with its qualities of urgency, terror and redemption.<br \/>\n<strong>\u2014Robert Pinsky<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mart\u00ednez Mesanza is refreshingly unlike any contemporary poet I know. His war poems gaze with what translator Don Bogen aptly calls \u201cmeasured deliberation\u201d on past and present, victim and executioner, horses and humans, and they have a chilling and strangely clinical authority, like autopsy photos. And Bogen is their ideal reader and translator: he frames them with an exemplary introduction and brings them to life in English with all the formal and tonal subtlety and restraint that characterize his own work.<br \/>\n<strong>\u2014Geoffrey Brock<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The sparkling translations of<em>\u00a0<strong>Europa<\/strong><\/em>, Don Bogen\u2019s lyric gift to the English-reading public, prove a fine match for Julio Mart\u00ednez Mesanza\u2019s considerable talents. These soulful renderings of a singular poetic world dotted with mysterious towers and debris-strewn battlefields are a truly wonderful introduction to a Spanish author uniquely poised for further discovery.<br \/>\n<strong>\u2014<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lavenderink.org\/site\/books\/g-j-racz\">G.
