Book Reviews of Versos Sencillos by Jose Marti: A Translation

Book Review: A Highly Skilled Performance
Summary: 5 Stars

Real skill, as everyone knows, consists in making it look easy. There is a quality of perfect inevitability about Anne Fountain's versions of José Martí's "Versos Sencillos" that makes it hard to imagine these poems could be translated any other way. And that is the hallmark of excellent work. The perfect, singing simplicity of Martí's Spanish is beautifully, singingly rendered into English, and the poems, originally composed in the Catskills, thus come full circle.
