Legacies: Selected Poems - Paperback
by Heberto Padilla (Author), Andrew Hurley (Translator), Alastair Reid (Translator)
Legacies is the author's own selection from his work, and represents the many facets of Padilla's art: his lyrical love poems, his almost Audenesque meditations on other poets, his deceptively simple verses about history.
This edition presents the English translations and original Spanish poems side by side on facing pages.
Heberto Padilla (1932-2000) was a Cuban poet who served time in prison for criticizing the Cuban government.

He and his second wife, poet Belkis Cuza Male, divided their time between Princeton, New Jersey and Madrid, Spain.
