Witness: The Selected Poems of Mario Benedettiby Mario Benedetti
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The definitive bilingual selection of Benedetti's poetry in English, a major Latin American voice. Translated from the Spanish by Louise B. Popkin. Introduction by Margaret Randall.
Review:"It gives me great pleasure to see the work of Benedetti, one of the great poets of our language, made available to US readers in Popkin's wonderful translations. Her carefully crafted adaptations of Mario's poems convey all the wisdom, nostalgia, and irony that inform his verses in language that retains their musicality. Anyone who has translated poetry will appreciate what an accomplishment that represents" Claribel Alegria
