Antonio Gamoneda’sBook of the Cold, a long poem in the modernist tradition, is an undisputed masterpiece by Spain’s greatest living poet. In this sensitive and alert translation, Hedeen and Núñez have captured the epic sweep of Gamoneda’s distinctive cadences, halfway between prose and verse. This translation, long overdue, will reveal the full extent of Gamoneda’s genius to English-speaking readers.
