Review
“. . .be glad of Sin puertas visibles. . . . What are women poets in Mexico doing these days? Lots, it turns out. . . . [The book] suggests that writing among Mexican women is as open and unsettled a field as it is way up here, shooting off toward all points of the clock face other than midnight. Hofer translates with considerable grace.”

“The poems in this collection, and throughout their wider publication, are inspired not by a political stance but by a deeply individual sense of personal empowerment that runs the gamut of strengths from the esthetically sensitive to the brutally daring, in language, in image, and in form.”
--ForeWord Magazine
--ForeWord Magazine
“Virtually all of these poems have at least one rich new poetic sound to offer English speakers. . . . The poems in this anthology offer a sensibility far away from the burdened, overwhelmed Self heard in much American writing.”

Translations to get lost in,
This review is from: Sin puertas visibles (Paperback)
Not every good poet is a good translator, and not every good translator is a good editor, but Jen Hofer is a great poet, great translator, and great editor, as "Sin puertas visibles" unequivocally confirms. It is a book beautiful both in its conception and execution, with discriminating but generous selections of accomplished poets unfortunately little known. Hofer is deeply, eloquently engaged with the Spanish originals, consistently managing to elegantly conserve what's typically `lost in translation.' These are translations to get lost in. Anglophones are now doubly indebted to Jen Hofer - her book of poems, "Slide Rule," having already extended the possibilities of our language considerably.
