Cortázar is a people's poet, accessible from every angle, and his position as a titan of the Latin American boom is indisputable.\"—Publishers Weekly, starred review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWorld renowned as one of the masters of modern fiction, Julio Cortázar was also a prolific poet. While living in Paris during the last months of his life, Cortázar assembled his life's work in verse for publication, and Save Twilight selects the best of that volume, making his poems available in English for the very first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis expanded edition, with nearly one hundred new pages of poems, prose and illustrations, is a book to be savored by both the familiar reader and the newcomer to Cortázar work. Ranging from the intimate to the political, tenderness to anger, heartbreak to awe, in styles both traditionally formal and free, Cortázar the poet and subverter of genres is revealed as a versatile and passionate virtuoso.
