An Anthology of Spanish American Modernismo

Kelly Washbourne teaches translation at Kent State University and translates from Spanish and Portuguese. He recently published Jose Asuncion Silva's After-Dinner Conversation. Sergio Waisman, associate professor of Spanish at George Washington University, translates Latin American literature and is the author of Borges and Translation: The Irreverence of the Periphery.

"I was struck by how moving some of the translations are. These are among the very best translations of poetry from Spanish to English. This volume will be a wonderful contribution to the conversations among those who read and study both Spanish and English." --Gwen Kirkpatrick, Georgetown University "An Anthology of Spanish American Modernismo contains a stimulating introduction, a wealth of bibliographic information, and a generous sampling of modernista poetry. This collection of some of Spanish America's best poetry makes for an excellent reference work and is ideal for university courses." --George Antony Thomas, University of Nevada, Reno
