Review
Chilean Pablo Neruda is Latin America's greatest poet and one of the finest ever to have written in the Spanish language. The Peruvian poet CÈsar Vallejo, part Indian and born in a mining village, ranks not far below Neruda. Robert Bly is one of America's foremost poets, and a translator of uncommon brilliance. The combination makes for a priceless volume. -Long Beach Press Telegram

Neruda and Vallejo-Selected Poems - Robert Bly, et al editor,
By esniii "esniii" (Ardmore, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Neruda and Vallejo: Selected Poems (Paperback)
I recently finished reading this powerful collection of works, and enjoyed it immensely. Bly does a marvellous job of capturing the mood and power of these poets, and the biographical pieces were interesting and to the point.This collection is also bilingual, which is a great plus even if you only listen for the sound of the poetic line. I would highly recommend it for those who have not experienced either of these fine poets. It left me hungry for more of their work.

sublime,
By Wade A. Hathaway - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Neruda and Vallejo: Selected Poems (Paperback)
I found this collection very satisfying on several levels. First the translations are excellent, successfully capturing both concrete and abstract elements of both poets. Second, the careful selection by Mr. Bly of poems wonderfully illustrates the best elements of each poet, the abstract genius of Neruda and the passion of Vallejo. Third; this collection is bilingual and even if one does not speak spanish, reading and listening to the poems in the native language allows one to appreciate the rhyme schemes, tempos, alliteration etc.

Kindle Version Only,
By Brian S. Carroll - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book suffers from terrible layout issues. Many of the poems are actually images, not text, so they are not searchable nor can you bookmark passages. Poems are often interrupted with stanzas in the other language. It was a lazy job by the publisher and is hardly readable.
