Poetry. Bilingual Edition translated from the Spanish by Mary G.
Berg and Dennis Maloney. "This is a very valuable book Dozens of
poems are here that have never been translated into English before,
and I think Berg and Maloney have done beautifully transferring
Juan Ramon's enthusiastic calm from Spanish to English.
Terrific"--Robert Bly. This bilingual collection traces Juan Ramon
Jimenez's relationship with the sea, a major theme in his work,
from his seminal book Diary of a Poet Recently Married alongside
other poems from his body of work.
Platero and I, the most popular work by the great Spanish writer
Juan Ram?n Jim?nez (1881-1958), is a series of autobiographical
prose poems about the wanderings in Andalusia of a poet and his
donkey. The story is a simple one: it is a first person account of
a poet and his donkey in the mountains of Spain, appreciating,
almost Zen-like, the simple beauties of life. The elements,
children playing, leaches bleeding in a pool, everything seems
beautiful in this book, and the descriptions are exquisite.

Few have written more memorably about the work of poetry and the
poetics of work than the Spanish poet Juan Ramon Jimenez, winner of
a Nobel Prize and discerning teacher of an entire generation of
Spanish poets. In this series of aphorisms, Jimenez brings together
the elements of perfect work, both in writing and in other realms.
Among these elements - the wellsprings of any kind of creation -
are instinct and inspiration, memory and forgetting, silence and
noise, love and regret. A treasure for poets and writers, "The
Complete Perfectionist" includes helpful commentary by noted
translator Christopher Maurer and shows perfection to be a process
of "becoming" rather than an end product. In these insightful
pages, a poet haunted by perfection reveals his methods of writing
and revision, and measures the social and ethical dimensions of el
trabajo gustoso, or pleasurable work. This revised and expanded
edition includes many aphorisms recently published in Spanish and
not previously included.
