Review Quotes
Charles Hatfield, Center for Translation Studies, University of Texas at Dallas
"Alicia Borinsky's witty poems unsettle us by making us see the things that are most familiar with new eyes. No one understands how these poems work better than Regina Galasso. Lost Cities Go to Paradise is a tour de force, the product of a collaboration between a poet and a scholar/translator each at the top of their game."
Suzanne Jill Levine, University of California-Santa Barbara
"Tough city broads, wayward waifs, and other urban fauna bump and howl in Alicia Borinsky's rough and tumble prosaic poems of Lost Cities vigorously translated by Regina Galasso with the author."
World Literature Today
Succinct like a boxer’s jab, the poems in Lost Cities Go to Paradise strike their target with surprising precision, often capturing a moment or a fleeting thought before moving on to the next piece. Borinsky weaves the political, the personal, the social, and the trivial into her verse with equal vigor, unveiling a rich tapestry of life in the contemporary world when considered as a whole.
