Books by Renato Trujillo

In Rooms: Milongas for Prince Arthur Street, Trujillo revives the floating images of his past to understand and reflect upon the circumstances of his present life. He remembers his mother hanging clothes on the line to dry, meditates upon cockroaches or the streets of a new and unknown city, and muses upon the paradoxes of love and death -- all with a tough, but graceful humour.

Behind the Orchestra presents the revelatory nature of Trujillo's English poetry. In the simplicity of these lines unfolds the mood and emotion divined by one who sees this country made-home with the eyes and memory of one from away.
