Publisher Description: "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 Seas I feel my boathas struck something large there, in the depths of the sea And then nothing happens Nothing...Silence... Waves... Nothing happens? Or has everything happened And are we now, calm, in someplace new? Juan Ramon Jimenez (1881-1958) was a member of the Generation of 1898, which ushered in a renaissance in Spanish poetry. In 1956 he received the Nobel Prize for Literature. Translators Marg Berg and Dennis Maloney have previously collaborated on Antonio Machado's book The Landscape of Castile. |
