Representing the Spanish American modernismo movement, which ran from the early 1880s to 1916, this bilingual anthology presents work by 18 modernista poets from Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, and Uruguay--to name a few: Rubén Dario, José Martí, Guillermo Valencia, María Eugenia Vaz Ferreira. Washborurne (Kent State U.) and Waisman (George Washington U.) offer their new translations and some first translations, for students of Spanish American literature and the wider audience for poetry.
