In 1890, the great Cuban revolutionary leader José Martí wrote his most famous poetry, Versos Sencillos, in a small town called Haines Falls in the Catskill Mountains of New York. Sincere and intensely personal in tone, these verses form a unique autobiographical expression yet have world-wide appeal.
This dual-language edition of Versos Sencillos offers both the Spanish-language original and a graceful English translation of each poem in the collection. The translation follows the original rhyme scheme where feasible but deliberately chooses meaning over form, staying true to mood and method. In addition to notes on the poems, this edition also includes the particulars of translation and provides a background for the composition of the verses, features lacking in earlier translations. An index of first lines, both English and Spanish, is included.
A collection of poems that constitutes a spiritual autobiography of Josâe Martâi, the renowned Cuban poet, philosopher, and patriot.

Versos Sencillos: Simple Verses
This poem is great but the translation often fails to capture the sense of the original as well as sticking slavishly to a maladroit rhyme scheme. For that I have given this book four and not five stars, since those who can read the original can ignore the nefas on the opposite page.
