No Jacket. Pittsburgh. 2018. May 2018. University of Pittsburgh Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780822965428. Latino and Latin American Profiles. 6 x 9. 248 pages. paperback. keywords: Latin America Poetry Literary Criticism. DESCRIPTION-The Once and Future Muse presents the first major study of the life and work of Dominican-born bilingual American poet and translator Rhina P. Espaillat (b. 1932). Beginning with her literary celebrity as the youngest poet ever inducted into the Poetry Society of America, it traces her relative obscurity after 1952 when she married and took on family and employment responsibilities, to her triumphant return to the poetry spotlight decades later when she reclaimed her former prestige with a series of award-winning poetry collections. The authors define Espaillat's place in American letters with attention to her formalist aesthetics, Hispanic Caribbean immigrant background, poetic community-building, bilingual ethos, and domestically-minded woman-of-color feminism. Addressing the temporality of her oeuvre-her publishing before and after the splitting of American literature into distinct ethnic segments-this work also highlights the demands that the social transformations of the 1960s placed on literary artists, critics, and readers alike. There is no way to understand the great new wave of Hispanic poetry without recognizing the singular achievement of Rhina P. Espaillat. Her understated, compressed, and classical poems upend all the Anglo clichEs about Latino poetry. Her lyrics are as cool as a Chet Baker solo and just as deeply felt. Uninsistent and self-assured, Espaillat is the urbane voice of the new Latino poetry. -Dana Gioia. This comprehensive volume makes a place for Espaillat as a major poet through a range of identities: a woman, a Latina, an immigrant, a bilingual speaker, a mother, and a wife, but most particularly as a formalist. That so many groups make a claim to her speaks to her enduring appeal. -Kim Bridgford. inventory #43694.
