"Not since the 1982 publication of Paul Auster's
Random House Book of Twentieth Century French
Poetry has a bilingual anthology so effectively
broadened the sense of poetic terrain outside the
United States and also created a superb
collection of foreign poems in English. There is
nothing else like it." John Palattella in The
Nation
