“A fine and meticulous book . . . adds to Casement’s reputation as a pioneer of the human rights movement’s tactics, including the on-the-spot investigation, and the leveraging of public outrage to spur reform.”—Greg Grandin, The New York Times Book Review
“With vivid touches of imagination and humor, Goodman captures the drama and paradox of Casement’s varied life.”—The New Yorker
“This ambitious anthology from critic and translator Stavans (Dictionary Days) attempts to introduce North American readers to the great strengths and the variety of Latin American modernity in verse . . . While Stavans translates many poems himself, many more are reprinted from extant versions by famous names: Mark Strand, Elizabeth Bishop, Eliot Weinberger, Ursula K. Le Guin. Presented in facing-page format, Stavans's anthology inclines to the accessible; specialists may be frustrated by a few points, but Stavans aims, instead, to bring a whole tree of poems and traditions to U.S. readers who do not know it well.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
