"Large anthology includes work by 58 poets. Extensive, but general, introduction. Poets arranged chronologically from José Martí to Marjorie Agosín. Volume includes few surprises and relatively few women. Bilingual format. Many translators; great fluctuation in quality. For detailed discussion of translations, see Charles Tomlinson in Times Literary Supplement, May 9, 1997; and Eliot Weinberger in Sulfur, 40, Spring 1997"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
