Poetry of the Earth: Mapuche Trilingual Anthology is a remarkable collection of poetry in Mapudugun, Spanish and English that explores Mapuche culture and literature.
The Mapuche are a Chilean Indigenous group, and today the traditional Mapuche language, Mapudugun (the language of the Earth), and literature still remain largely untranslated. Poetry of the Earth presents a small offering of Mapuche poetry, where the powers of the landscape and the word are deeply rooted in mythical beings and current political conflicts.
In Poetry of the Earth, works from seven Mapuche poets have been compiled by editor Jaime Luis Huenún, along with Steve Brock, Víctor Cifuentes Palacios, Juan Garrido Salgado and Sergio Holas, and translated from Mapudugun to Spanish, and Spanish to English. Publishing each poem in all three languages is a testament to the complex identity of the Mapuche society and history.
