Reviews

[Pepe Llopis Manchón · Rating 5 out of 5]

La brevedad y sencillez de una pipeta cosmopolita y de su patria, de su casa y del mundo.

Especial mención a "Luisa en el país de la realidad".

[James F · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was an anthology of about 140 poems from sixteen of Alegria's books. They were a bit uneven in the early books, but the later books were very powerful. There was personal poetry about her childhood, her mother and her mother's death, love poems to her husband Bud and about his death, much political poetry, and some mythology in the last books. I'm adding her to my short list of favorite modern poets.

En su mayor parte bueno, me ha gustado sin llegar a parecerme excelente. Eso sí, hay varios poemas potentes que sí he apreciado.
