The cover of "Dialogues with Myself and My Other / Diálogos conmigo y mis otros."
 
Distinguished Hostos Humanirties Professor Isaac Goldemberg has published a new book, Dialogues with Myself and My Other / Diálogos conmigo y mis otros. This bilingual collection of poems was translated by Jonathan Tittler.
 
Argentine critic and poet Luis Benítez said about the book: “In Dialogues with Myself and My Others, Goldemberg’s language, singularly, both refers to life’s great universal themes and does so with remarkable fluidity. The most refined irony and humor dwell therein, acting as a highly effective means of provoking reflection on the human condition, a primary nucleus of meaning in his poetic oeuvre.  One of the most original poets of our time, he is endowed with an extraordinary gift with words, and these are placed at the service of a humanism that withstands all tests.”
 
Goldemberg was born in Chepén, Peru, in 1945 and has lived in New York since 1964. His work has been translated into several languages and published in numerous journals and anthologies in Latin America, Europe, and the United States. He’s the author of four novels, ten books of poetry, and three plays. In 2001, his novel The Fragmented Life of Don Jacobo Lerner was selected by a panel of international literary critics convened by the Yiddish Book Center of the United States as one of the most important 100 Jewish works of the last 150 years.
 
His most recent publications include: Philosophy and Other Fables (short stories, 2016), Dialoghi con me e con i miei altri / Diálogos conmigo y mis otros (poems, 2015), Chepén, madre de arena (fiction and poetry, 2015), Remember the Scorpion (novel, 2015), La vida breve (poems, 2012). Presently, he’s Distinguished Professor at Hostos Community College of The City University of New York, where he’s director of the Latin American Writers Institute and editor of Hostos Review.
