Winner of the 2016 Cliff Becker Book Prize in Translation

In Returnings, we are treated to an essay on the imaginative possibilities of a great poet, long exiled from his native land, turning memory into verse, recovering from the past everything that counts: love and friendship and the landscapes that shaped him. Through alleyways and storied ruins, colors and autumn and war, Alberti discovers poetry at every turn. -Christopher Merrill, prize judge

The musical language that drives these urgent poems is echoed exquisitely in Carolyn Tipton’s translations. -Stephen Kessler

Rafael Alberti was one of the greatest poets of twentieth-century Spain.

Poet and translator Carolyn L. Tipton teaches at the University of California, Berkeley.
