The award-winning second collection by the Poet Laureate of the United States Duende, that dark and elusive force described by Federico García Lorca, is the creative and ecstatic power an artist seeks to channel from within. It can lead the artist toward revelation, but it must also, Lorca says, accept and even serenade the possibility of death. Tracy K. Smith's bold second poetry collection explores history and the intersections of folk traditions, political resistance, and personal survival. Duende gives passionate testament to suppressed cultures, and allows them to sing.

Poems are in Spanish, and in English translation.

""In this bold and electric contemporary novella a teenage expat on the cusp of womanhood is caught between 2 worlds: her childhood in Detroit, where her family's troubled history haunts her, and her year in Seville, where a missing girl populates the periphery of her attention. Suspended by the rhythm of flamenco, lava, our heroine, is self-reliant by necessity, and her sentimental education examines a body in flux. In intoxicating prose,...Poppe shows us the links between twin mysteries, how trauma can reverate through a life, how a girl becomes a woman." -- Kate Wisel, author of Driving in Cars with Homeless Men, 2019 Winner of the Drue Heinz Literature Prize"--
