Translated to Arabic, 'Migraciones' (Migrations). A book of poetry of the Mexican poet Gloria Gervitz (b, 1943). 'To say that this is a book of the immigrant experience--which in some sense it is--is to underrate the range of form and feeling that Gervitz brings to it, creating thereby an epic of the migratory self.,,,hers is the work of a lifetime: a life's work including not only autobiography and familial memories as a kind of history but rife with religious and mystical imagery...the achievement of a great poetic talent: a complex tribute to the complex world from which it comes' (Jerome Rothenberg from English Edition.)
