This book has been very helpful to me in studying Spanish-I especially like this book because it is translated into English as well. Even if you're a beginner you will understand it as well.I highly recommend this book to others who are studying this language.

I'm unable to judge the quality of the translations. Many are well-phrased in English, but some that try to replicate rhyme and meter seem a little awkward. Many, many delightful poems, but I was disappointed that Pablo Neruda is not included.
