Five poems

Immanent Visitor — excerpts, translated by Kent Johnson and Forrest Gander

Saenz is Bolivia’s leading writer of the 20th century. Prolific as poet, novelist, and non-fiction writer, his baroque, propulsive syntax and dedication to themes of death, alcoholism, and otherness make his poetry among the most idiosyncratic in the Spanish-speaking world.
