O Cadoiro

Rooted in medieval Galician-Portuguese cantigas, most untranslated before now, Erin Moure's poems take off from the title phrase, literally "the place where falling is made." Also a word for waterfall,O Cadoiroopens the "falling-place" that humans inhabit, where poems help heal without necessarily resolving anything. Where many poets tend to disdain the lyric form, Moure embraces it returning to its roots, reveling in its beauty, and exposing its surprising modernity.Moure, Erin is the author of 'O Cadoiro ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780887847578 and ISBN 0887847579.
