Walking to Mojacar by Di Brandt (Turnstone Press, $17)
Brandt celebrates her multilingual heritage in this ample collection. Her poems are translated into French, Low German (which family members sang while they worked the fields in Manitoba) and Spanish, the latter provided by Ari Belathar, a Mexican writer-in-exile now living in Vancouver. Brandt’s work depends less on language for effect than images. Longer works, chunked into dense paragraphs, are not as pleasing to the eye as the more elegantly lined short poems, but a tribute to the writer George Bowering and a meditation on the mass extinction of the world work exceptionally well. Hymns for Detroit and a variety of South America-inspired poems round out a collection with global reach. Located on the Andalusian coast of Spain, Mojacar is a Moorish village that today thrives on domestic and international tourism.
