"The Republic of Poetry" is a place of odes and elegies, collective memory and hidden history, miraculous happenings and redemptive justice. Here poets return from the dead, visit in dreams, even rent a helicopter to drop poems on bookmarks.Espada, Martin is the author of 'Republic of Poetry', published 2008 under ISBN 9780393331400 and ISBN 0393331407.
