Reviews
“The present anthology selected and translated by Kathleen O’Connor-Bater, is a departure from previous attempts to introduce the Nicaraguan poet to English speaking audiences, the effort by O’Connor – Bates represents a significant contribution to scholarship on Rubén Darío’s artistic and philosophical development within Latin American literature and culture…The selections from each period provide a glimpse into the historical context, from which the poet gained his perspective…this effort represents a fresh and welcome contribution to scholarship on Rubén Darío.”

“True to the mission to respect the imagery, sonority, and evenness of the metric whenever possible, O’Connor-Bater successfully brings Darío’s own brand of modernism to a wider audience.”
