At the Threshold of Memory : New & Selected Poems

This large, bilingual collection contains work from over twenty years of writing, arranged in sections which reflect themes and metaphors that are fundamental to Agosin's artistic and critical oeuvre.

Her rich Eastern European and Latin American heritage, her experience in exile, and her profound humanistic visions accompany the poet as she writes about her ancestors, about women and children and about the poor and disinherited.

Despite the often difficult materials that she examines, Agosin also expresses a need to rejoice in life, to hope and believe in the possibility of change.
