Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
All the known poetry by the most important Puerto Rican woman poet of the century is gathered in this significant publication--more than 200 poems, some that have often been anthologized as well as others that have been "lost" in out-of-print publications for many years. A labor of love for translator Agueros--who remembers seeing Burgos on the streets of New York when he was young--the big dual language edition reveals a woman of fire and blood, as passionate in her love for her mountain homeland as for the men who shared her life. Feminist, revolutionary, patriotic, Burgos adopted a sibylline voice, full of expansive power: "My road is space. / To travel me is to flee from all the paths. . . . / I am the dancing imbalance of the stars." Burgos (1914^-53) died in poverty in New York but now may receive the rich reputation that was denied her in life. Patricia Monaghan
From Library Journal
Although she published only two small books of verse in her lifetime, de Burgos (1914-53) has now attained almost legendary status in her native Puerto Rico. This bilingual edition marks the first time all her known poetic works have been compiled in one volume. The translations are accurate, but their order is problematic; because it is not strictly chronological, it is difficult for the reader not only to determine which poems emanate from which original collection but also which ones were originally unpublished. The 200 short poems speak for themselves: timeless themes of love, nature, solitude, and death connect with water images as seen in her paean to the Puerto Rican river, "Rio Grande de Loiza." Her occasional feminist sentiments make her even more attractive to contemporary audiences. Recommended for all poetry collections.?Lawrence Olszewski, OCLC Lib., Dublin, Ohio

Mesmerizing and Powerful Words to Stir the Mind and Soul,
Von
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Song of the Simple Truth: The Complete Poems of Julia de Burgos (Taschenbuch)
Julia de Burgos is probably Latin America's greatest female poet. Although she never gained the mass media attention Gabriela Mistral gained after winning the Nobel Prize in Literature, de Burgos' work is eternally mesmerizing. Here is a woman who led an unhappy life searching for love, only to find heartbreak most of the times. A protege of Neruda's, de Burgos' political activisim in supporting various causes (including criticism of the Franco regime in Spain and Trujillo regime in the Dominican Republic, in addition to her passionate support for independence for Puerto Rico) is clearly shown in her work. Her romaticism and her cultural reconnection can also be read in some of her poems. The one that realy captivated me was Poem #37, "I Love You," which will cause the reader to grasp their chest with the emotion she has poured in letting the love of her life know how much he moved her world. Ms. De Burgos died a tragic death in New York, however after it was discovered she had been buried on Hart Island (New York City's version of a potter's field) a movement to give her a proper and glorious funeral took place and although she left the island as an unknown schoolteacher, she returned a national hero. Her glorious return to Puerto Rico was well deserving. I can tell you that reading this book brought me to tears. The great thing is that the entire book is a bilingual edition, which will allow both English & Spanish-language readers to discover one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. A must have for readers of poerty, Latin American literature, and Spanish students. I also recommend it for those who love Neruda. Best book of poetry I ever read!

A Must Read and a Must Buy,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Song of the Simple Truth: The Complete Poems of Julia de Burgos (Taschenbuch)
As far as I am concerned there are two books about the Puerto Rican experience and literary tradition that belong on everyone's bookshelf: Boricuas Influential Puerto Rican Writings and Jack Aguero's translation of Julia De Burgos poetry, Song of the Simple Truth. Buy both and soak up some good summer reading!
