Selected Poems

0/5 ( ratings)

Rubén Darío changed the whole course of Spanish poetry, by converting it to "modernism" and by halting what he called "the mummification of Spanish rhythms." Exotic, erratic, revolutionary, he was a major poet by any standards. This translation, by a man who is himself a poet, brings to English readers the whole range of Darío's verse—from the stinging little poems of Thistles to the dark, tired lines written at the end of his life.
