The Hunts

The Hunts, by Amelia Biagioni, is a book of poems written originally in Spanish.

Description

A bilingual edition of an astonishing poetic cycle that ranges across time and space to recreate the eternal hunt: the unstoppable, restless process of the universe chasing, tormenting and consuming itself.

Summary

A bilingual edition of Las Cacerías, an enraptured poetic cycle that takes the reader through the delirious swirl of the eternal hunt on Earth and in heaven, in the past, present and future. Sections of the cycle relate to the ancient sport of man pursuing beast, beast pursuing beast, man pursuing man, and the poet's quest to capture life and identity within words. The final section presents the author as a woman pursued as a heretic, for having "spied on God."

Reviews

"... the poetry of Las Cacerías is akin to ritual and hymn..."[1]

gollark: Well, for a perfect mistake-removing thing yes, but we have things which just *sort of* do that by enforcing some rules, like static typing.
gollark: We've seen *already* exploits in many, many complex things designed by competent programmers. The solution is not "program better and don't make mistakes", you need tools which detect mistakes and/or prevent them.
gollark: Also, if you mess up a surgery and, say, accidentally kill someone, it's more obvious than if your code turns out to have, some years later, had a security hole.
gollark: The medical licensing thing does seem to go around artificially limiting supply?
gollark: I agree.
