This review is from: Homesick for Death: Dead Nocturnes: The Complete Poetry of Xavier Villaurrutia (Paperback)
It took me awhile to find all of the poems of Villaurrutia in one volume, and a billingual one at that. However, I was disappointed in the translation, there were numerous instances of the translator substituting one word for another and rearranging the ideas to make the english version more harmonious. This is more the work of DM Stround than Villaurrutia. If you dont read spanish, dont get this translation. The Eliot Weinberger translation of Nostalgia for death is much better and truer to the original.
