Improve your Spanish (reading poetry!),

This review is from: Listen & Enjoy Spanish Poetry (CD Edition) (Listen & Enjoy Series) (Paperback)
I cannot emphasize how good this book and the accompanying audio are. Whether you are a fluent native speaker of Spanish or someone just beginning, this is one of the best purchases towards your education in Spanish language and literature. This poetry anthology, though brief, includes most major poets in the Spanish (peninsular, only from Spain) canon. It covers poetry since the time of Juan Ruiz to Góngora to Bécquer to Lorca--it is very complete in that sense. You will find one or two poems from each poet with side-to-side translations, so, if you get stuck, you can just read the English. It also includes a short biography of each author, invaluable information, if you want to have a historical context of the poem(s). Translations are good and poems are very inspiring, some even have a haunting quality that will help you fall in love with the language. If you are a poetry lover, you will derive much pleasure from reading and listening. Buy it! It costs almost nothing and opens a whole new language and literature to you!

This review is from: Listen & Enjoy Spanish Poetry (CD Edition) (Listen & Enjoy Series) (Paperback)
This cd is okay to listen to a few times. The diction is good, although the voices are little bit boring. However the selection of poems is very good.
