4.0 out of 5 stars A Modest Success, December 15, 2000
By A Customer
This workmanlike set of translations gives hints of the beauty and power of Mistral's poetry and prose, but I've read more moving translations of the same poems. Nonetheless, it's one of only two available through Amazon.com in English, and better to have a hint than nothing at all. A highly revered figure in South America and a Nobel Prize winner, Mistral should be better known here than she is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jacketti's Translations Show Superior Quality, April 25, 2002
By wfunk46 (Hazleton, PA United States) - See all my reviews
A fabulous undertaking of poetry and prose. It is obvious that Jacketti took all efforts to translate Mistral with flow and grace from Spanish. Very few translators achieve this height. My favorites are "The Obsession," "Paradise," "Heaven's Carriage,"and my most favorite is "The Christmas Star." Incidently, John Adams used this translation in his recently operetic release, "El Niño."

We need more translations from Jacketti!

I highly recommend "The Gabriela Mistral Reader" in your library collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gabriela Mistral Reader, May 7, 2002
By Deepali (Jersey City, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
I like the poetry's modernized spelling and format. It helps the modern reader to understand the text. The poems are full of meaning, helpful and have a positive effect on readers. My favorites poems are "The Wild Strawberry," "Rocking," "Flour," "Morning" and "The Rose." The selected works of "A Gabriela Mistral Reader" is an enjoyable experience for students and people who love poetry. I would highly recommend this book to everyone because her poem shows real life situations that we have in today's world; they describe the importance of nature and have deep feeling about women and from nature. Jacketti translates her poems very beautifully.
