Twentieth-Century Latin American Poetry by Stephen Tapscott

Twentieth-Century Latin American Poetry by Stephen Tapscott

Latin Americans have written some of the world's finest poetry in the twentieth century, as the Nobel Prizes awarded to Gabriela Mistral, Pablo Neruda, and Octavio Paz attest. This title attempts to represent the most important Latin American poets.

A very rich and illuminating new anthology that covers the entire sweep of Latin American poetry in the 20th century... For everyone who thinks only of Pablo Neruda when they think of Latin American poetry, or of Neruda and Cesar Vallejo and Octavio Paz, this book will be a revelation. * Washington Post Book World *
One can say positively of this anthology that it will prove a timely stimulus to seek out the poetry of a number of lesser known Latin American writers. * Times Literary Supplement *

Stephen Tapscott is Professor of Literature at MIT. He translated Pablo Neruda’s 100 Love Sonnets / Cien sonetos de amor (UT Press, 1986).
