Review for Anochecer, Nightfall: Bilingual Poetry,
By
This review is from: Anochecer / Nightfall: Bilingual Poetry (Spanish-English) (Paperback)
Having had the pleasure of reading other award-winning poetry by Marie Delgado Travis I find 'Anochecer,Nightfall: Bilingual Poetry' her best work to date. The translation of each poem shows instinctive appeal and carries true depth into the translated language. This collection has expressed cultural imprints, emotional content and ambiguities within Marie Travis'specific style.

poems passionate and haunting,
By
This review is from: Anochecer / Nightfall: Bilingual Poetry (Spanish-English) (Paperback)
This is an exceptional collection of poems that are highly personal yet universal in appeal. Recurring themes include both the pain and the intoxication of love, longing, regret, and passion without outlet. But there is optimism and joy here also. This gives the poems a special poignancy.
One of the most extraordinary aspects of the work is the bilingual feature. I believe that Spanish lends itself to communicating passion in a way that English cannot. Nevertheless, the poems work beautifully in English also. The English versions are not merely translations, but works of art in their own right. Regardless of subject, each poem has an intensity that makes it linger in your memory. The images and emotions are so strong that often the last line of a poem will send a chill up your spine. Clearly, this is the work of someone who feels deeply and has the talent to communicate those feelings.
