Poetry. Bilingual Edition translated from the Spanish by Mary G. Berg and Dennis Maloney. "This is a very valuable book! Dozens of poems are here that have never been translated into English before, and I think Berg and Maloney have done beautifully transferring Juan Ramon's enthusiastic calm from Spanish to English. Terrific"--Robert Bly. This bilingual collection traces Juan Ramon Jimenez's relationship with the sea, a major theme in his work, from his seminal book Diary of a Poet Recently Married alongside other poems from his body of work.
