| Here is the
most inclusive collection of modern
European poetry ever published in
America. It contains poems by every
important European poet, including Nobel
Prize-winners Pasternak, Quasimodo,
Seferis and Aleixandre. It also contains
striking works by the brilliant new
voices in European poetry, and a special
section on important Latin American
poetry. Each poet is represented by an
unusually large selection of his works.
English translations from the French,
German, Greek, Italian, Russian and
Spanish.
This is the one anthology you keep
right beside the bed, the desk, the
cuisinart--wherever it is handiest when
you want to know what modern European
poetry is like--poetry in English,
translated by poets! And now . . . you
can say, . . . "What? You didn't know
Borges wrote poems? Look, listen, this
is what they're like!"
--Richard Howard
"A superb collection of modern
European poetry in which virtually every
major modern voice is represented.
Offered in translation by many of our
finest English-language poets, the broad
range of the best poetry of this century
is spread before us. Modern European
Poetry is a model of what an
anthology should be."
--Breon Mitchell
"The best anthology of its kind
available anywhere. The translations are
superior, and the representation of
poets generous."
