New Puerto Rican Poetry Anthology Covers New Ground

Tagged: , , ,

“In January, the University of Massachusetts Press published “Puerto Rican Poetry: An Anthology from Aboriginal to Contemporary Times,” edited and translated by Roberto Marquez, William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Latin American and Caribbean Studies at Mount Holyoke College. It offers the most wide-ranging and comprehensive collection of Puerto Rican poetry available in English and includes the work of 64 poets, many of the poems appearing for the first time in English. It also includes previously inaccessible selections from Puerto Ricos tradition of popular verse forms — coplas, decimas, and bombas — produced by anonymous writers.”
