Alain Saint-Saëns' images from Paraguay certainly resonate with scenes in so many cities around the world, including Chicago.' Cynthia T. Hahn, poet and Professor, Lake Forest College, Illinois (USA).'Alain Saint-Saëns' poems express a vision eminently worthy of expression in any latitude, a vision which justifies the hard work of seeking its correspondent language, however inexact, in my own small corner of the English-speaking world. I thank Alain for the chance to re-create his text in English and in so doing to complete a triangle that joins three languages, three countries, and one entire world of beauty, anguish, and deeply-felt human emotion.' Tracy K. Lewis, Poet and Translator, Professor, State University of New York at Oswego (USA).
