The book explores the dynamic interplay between poetry and cinema in Argentina, examining how each medium influences and transforms the other.

Presents a full-length study (in English) of the work of the Argentine poet and anthropologist Nestor Perlongher (1949-92). This book analyses and contextualizes his work whilst offering tools for reading and understanding the challenging and experimental poetry.
This book addresses the connection between political themes and literary form in the most recent Argentine poetry. Ben Bollig uses the concepts of “lyric” and “state” as twin coordinates for both an assessment of how Argentinian poets have conceived a political role for their work and how poems come to speak to us about politics. Drawing on concepts from contemporary literary theory, this striking study combines textual analysis with historical research to shed light on the ways in which new modes of circulation help to shape poetry today.
