"This volume presents a
group of outstanding poets, many of whom, despite their
obvious merit, are known only within their own countries...The
fluent translations not only recreate faithfully the poets'
works, but, more significantly, reflect the personal,
intellectual, and emotional circumstances that prompted them.
The brief biographical sketches of each poet and Mary Crow's
perceptive and knowledgeable introduction round out this
extraordinary volume."
--Choice
"A selection that is highly commendable in its scope and
richness. Themes range from political and social protest to
topics of a completely personal nature, and styles prove
equally eclectic, encompassing everything from hypnotic chant
and surreal lyrics to free verse."
--Hispania
"The poets represented are all highly intelligent and
perceptive. Their news to the world is news of repression and
yearning, offering a sense of dreamlike separation from
vitality and power."
--Los Angeles Times
