Reviews for Alliance and Condemnation / Alianza Y Condena
"Abstract yet colloquial, Claudio Rodriguez's poetry is not easily rendered into English. Philip W. Silver's splendid translations, as precise as they are idiomatic, not only do full justice to the originals but demonstrate why Rodriguez is one of modern Spain's greatest poets." (Gustavo Perez-Firmat, Columbia University)"
