When Jeannine Pitas did that work she stayed in Salto, Uruguay, Marosa's hometown. There I had the pleasure of helping her on that work. I think that she did something very important and I think that will be a joy to english readers to know the work of one of the greatest uruguayan poets of the last half of th century. I remember when I visited with Jeannine Marosa's house.... pumpkin rain with bue flowers

Here's an interview with Garth and Jeannine Pitas, the book's translator - explains some of the background of di Giorgio and how the book ended up at Ugly Duckling: http://bit.ly/a6puGX
