Review Quotes:
"There is nothing diminished or softened about The Art of Being a Tiger. It is always a rare pleasure to find an anthology of one's favorite poems by one of the towering figures of contemporary Portuguese poetry, Ana Luísa Amaral. To find it in a bilingual edition alongside sensitive, probing, and insightful English translations by Margaret Jull Costa is even better."--Hilary Owen, Journal of Lusophone Studies
"Amaral's poetry possesses an intimacy that grants it a sense of timelessness.. . . The translation of literature that carries such messages, in order that it might spark and deepen dialogue across geographic and linguistic borders, is today as urgent as ever."--Elenor K. Jones, Translation and Literature
