DESCRIPTION - This volume, containing forty-four of Torres Bodet's poems, is the result of long and careful research by translator Sonja P. Karsen, well-acquainted with both the poet's language and the poet. Dr. Torres Bodet enthusiastically endorses Miss Karsen's translations which appear together here with the original Spanish text. UNESCO has included the volume in its Collection of Contemporary Works. The themes in Torres Bodet's poetry are several, underlined with a deep humanism which perceives the contradictions in the human situation, the 'faithful paradise of the imperfect.' Unable at times to achieve a faith to give meaning and direction to his work, the poet says, 'I plowed the sea, I built on sand,/wrote in water, sowed in granite. But continually he finds a haven in his personal faith in the nature of man: 'Never will I tire of being a man/. because of all made by man/ the only heritage worthy of man/ is the right to invent his life.' A strong advocate of artistic freedom, he nevertheless insists that such freedom be disciplined and responsible in its creative pursuits - a creed to which his own work bears eloquent testimony. inventory #15110 Previous Owner's Name Penned in Front, Otherwise Very Good.
