Translating Severo Sarduy

A conversation between David Francis (Yale University) and Shawn McDaniel (University of Southern California)

Footwork, the first collection of Severo Sarduy’s poems in English translated by David Francis, follows the thrilling trajectory of a great thinker as he explores the genesis of the universe, sexual and aesthetic pleasure, and his own and Cuba’s heritage.
