When Denis Doyle arrived in Japan in 1987, he brought with him the
manuscript of The Rhododendron Forest, consisting mostly of poems
written in the previous few years in and about Cornwall. The book
was published in Tokyo by Printed Matter Press in 1991, but has
long been out of print. Added to this new, revised edition of The
Rhododendron Forest is Doyle's translation - first published by
North Light Press in England in 1982 - of the first (prose) and
third (poetic) versions of the narrative La Tierra de
Alvargonzalez, a key work by Antonio Machado (1875-1939). Combining
sharp observation and an individual lyrical voice, the poems in The
Rhododendron Forest display a deep sensitivity to the landscapes,
seascapes, flora and fauna of Cornwall - with excursions to Spain,
an imagined St Petersburg, the scriptorium of a medieval monastery,
and into memories of the romantic bafflements of a Catholic
adolescence. The Machado translations faithfully capture the
exalted simplicity and tragic ballad-tale quality of La Tierra de
Alvargonzalez, written by Machado in 1912 during a period of
intense personal crisis.
