Selected Poems of Ruben Dario by Rubn Daro

Rub n Dar o changed the whole course of Spanish poetry, by converting it to modernism and by halting what he called the mummification of Spanish rhythms. Exotic, erratic, revolutionary, he was a major poet by any standards. This translation, by a man who is himself a poet, brings to English readers the whole range of Dar o's verse--from the stinging little poems of Thistles to the dark, tired lines written at the end of his life.

RubÉn DarÍo (1867–1916) was a founder of the modernismo movement in Spanish-language literature.

Lysander Kemp (1920–1992) was a translator and literature professor.
