Publisher Synopsis
"This volume makes it easy for the bilingual reader to jump back and forth between the original poem and the translation to elucidate the meaning of a particularly sophisticated word or to tease out the meaning of an unfamiliar phrasing in the Spanish." - Translation Journal "Randall Couch has gathered a remarkable collection.... He has accepted the challenge of setting them forth in English, and one can only respect and applaud his efforts, undertaken with painstaking scholarship and impassioned linguistic acuity." - Calque "Couch offers a succinct, comprehensive biocritical introduction to Mistral and her 'Locas mujeres' poems, particularly exploring autobiographical issues in the poems.... Plentiful information on the rich cross-references... in Mistral's poems and on the identities of those to whom Mistral dedicated her poems enhances this volume, which will interest Spanish and English speakers alike." - Choice" Read more...
