Ginza Samba: Selected Poems

Bilingual Edition English / Spanish Robert Pinsky in Spanish is at once a fantastic desire and a human feat. The process of re-presenting any poet’s words in another language and culture entails a dual venture, both passionate and miraculous in nature. I invite you to enjoy these poems; they combine in a unique and cosmopolitan manner the mischiefs, sonic and linguistic licenses, the unexpected movement and the modes of understanding and expression, and they situate us in our universe of peace and violence, justice and injustice, faith and beauty, life and death, in the simple complexity of who we were, are now, and should be as individuals and as a community. -Luis Alberto Ambroggio It is refreshing to find a poet who is intellectually interesting and technically first-rate. Robert Pinsky belongs to that rarest category of talents, a poet-critic. -Robert Lowell
