I don’t read very much poetry, so I’m new to the work of Alberto Rios. So far I love the poems of his I’ve read—and these words I’ve been pondering. 

“I have been around other languages all my life, particularly Spanish, and have too often thought of the act of translation as simply giving something two names. But it is not so, not at all. Rather than filling out, a second name for something pushes it forward, forward and backward, and gives it another life.”
