Anyone who's read and loved the work of great Spanish poets such as Lorca and Machado will love the work of Miguel Hernandez, a self-educated goatherd who developed a singularly strong and beautiful poetic language of his own. This volume is an excellent selection of his work, and is translated with such evident care that the English sings just as the Spanish does. See especially Hernandez' heartbreakingly tender lullabies to his wife and son, written just before his death in prison. A beautiful book.
