“Góngora is one of the most significant figures in Spanish early modern literature.”

David Orr | New York Times Book Review

“[This] translation will be a good introduction to English-speaking readers interested in one of the Baroque’s greatest poets. The selection gives such readers a good idea of Góngora’s range, and the translations are readable while still reflecting the poet’s style.”

International Poetry Review

"Góngora is the Spanish baroque poet par excellence. His works reach dazzling rhetorical and linguistic heights.

Góngora captured what he saw and perceived and then added verbal flourishes that make the world the micocosm and the word the macrocosm....Gifted and daring, Dent-Young attempts to produce translations that could stand on their own and that give Góngora ’a human voice.’"—Choice
