The Sonnets
by Jorge Luis Borges
The landmark collection brings together for the first time in Spanish and English, all of the sonnets of one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. More intimate and personally revealing than his fiction, and more classical in form than the inventive metafictions that are his hallmark, the sonnets reflect Borges in full maturity, paying homage to many of his literary and philosophical paragons, while at the same time engaging the mysteries immanent in the quotidian.

The Solitudes
by Luis de Gongora
A towering figure of the Renaissance, Luis de Gongora pioneered poetic forms so radically different from the dominant aesthetic of his time that he was derided as “the Prince of Darkness.” The Solitudes, his magnum opus, is an intoxicatingly lush novel-in-verse that follows the wanderings of a shipwrecked man who has been spurned by his lover. In this stunning edition, Edith Grossman captures the breathtaking beauty of a work that represents one of the high points of poetic achievement in any language.

Spain, Take This Chalice from Me and Other Poems
by Cesar Vallejo
Cesar Vallejo is one of the best-known Latin American poets of the twentieth century. Challenging, intense, and difficult to translate, Vallejo’s work has often been overshadowed by his fervent endorsement of communism. Noted scholar Ilan Stavans tackles the avant-garde poet’s politics head-on, while Margaret Sayers Peden’s new translation does full justice to Vallejo’s complex literary style. Including Spanish and English versions of more than eighty poems, this volume is certain to become the leading collection of Vallejo’s work for years to come.

Poems of the Night
by Jorge Luis Borges
Poems of the Night is a moving collection of the great literary visionary’s poetic meditations on nighttime, darkness, and the crepuscular world of visions and dreams, themes that speak implicitly to the blindness that overtook Borges late in life – and yet the poems here are drawn from the full span of Borges’s career.
