Willis Barnstone is a literature in himself: poet, translator,
interpreter, in one year he can range from Jesus to Sappho and
Borges with calm authority and good humour. He re-translates the
New Testament in a version Harold Bloom describes as 'a superb act
of restoration'. Borges himself declared, 'Four of the best things
in America are Whitman's Leaves, Melville's Whale, the sonnets of
Barnstone's The Secret Reader, and my daily Corn Flakes - ' Mexico
in My Heart is the essential Barnstone, drawing on fifteen
collections, poetry from six decades of writing and from several
continents. He went to Mexico at the age of fifteen and, gathering
languages and literatures, has never stopped learning.
