Introduction and moderated conversation by poet Yvette Neisser Moreno/Carlos Parada
Pablo Neruda's lost poems—recently discovered in his archive—comprise this new volume Then Come Back. Originally composed on napkins, playbills, receipts, and notebooks, Neruda's lost poems are presented with the Spanish text, full-color reproductions of handwritten poems, and English translations by Forrest Gander.
Forrest Gander is a poet, translator, essayist, and editor of several anthologies of writing from Spain and Mexico. His 2011 poetry collection Core Samples from the World was a finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award. He is the recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Guggenheim, Howard, and Whiting Foundations.
Javier Zamora was born in El Salvador and migrated to the US. He holds fellowships from CantoMundo, Colgate University, Yaddo, and the NEA. His poems appear in Narrative, Ploughshares, and elsewhere. His first collection of poetry is forthcoming from Copper Canyon Press.
