Poetry. Translation. Translated from the Spanish by Mary G. Berg
and Dennis Maloney, with an insightful introduction by Thomas
Moore, this volume presents the wisdom and philosophy of one of
Spain's most important poets. Born in 1875, Machado, along with
Juan Ramon Jimenez and Miquel de Unamuno, formed the famed
"generation of 1898," which ushered in a new Spanish poetics. In
this series of brief poems, Machado utilizes traditional Spanish
verse forms to create a wide-ranging collection. "Machado, in these
Sappho-like fragments, takes us down not only the road less
traveled but the road not seen, where transformation and
transfiguration come not from self-made millions but from changing
'love into theology'"-Thomas Rain Crowe.

Antonio Machado (1875-1939) is Spain's master poet, the explorer
of dream and landscape, and of consciousness below language. Widely
regarded as the greatest twentieth century poet who wrote in
Spanish, Machado--like his contemporary Rilke--is intensely
introspective and meditative. In this collection, the unparalleled
translator Willis Barnstone, returns to the poet with whom he first
started his distinguished career, offering a new bilingual edition
which provides a sweeping assessment of Machado's work. In
addition, "Border of a Dream" includes a reminiscence by Nobel
Laureate Juan Ramon Jimenez and a foreword by John Dos Passos.
from "Proverbs and Songs"
Absolute faith. We neither are nor will be.
Our whole life is borrowed
We brought nothing. With nothing we leave.

You say nothing is created?
Don't worry. With clay
of the earth make a cup
so your brother can drink.
Born near Seville, Spain, Antonio Machado turned to a career in
writing and translating in order to help support his family after
the death of his father in 1893. His growing reputation as a poet
led to teaching posts in various cities in Spain and, eventually,
he returned to finish his degree from the University of Madrid in
1918. He remained in Madrid after the outbreak of civil war,
committed to the Republican cause, but the violence finally forced
him to flee. He died an exile in France.
Willis Barnstone is one of America's foremost translator-poets,
bringing into English an extraordinary range of work, from Mao
Tse-tung to the New Testament.
With this collection of poems, Antonio Machado y Ruiz became the
primary voice of the Spanish artists known as the Generation of
1898. This compilation features an unabridged edition of Machado's
landmark work, plus other poems and essays. Introduction, new
English translations, and notes by Stanley Appelbaum.
