“This, the first National Book Award to be given to a translation of modern poetry, is a recognition of Clayton Esheman’s seventeen-year apprenticeship to perhaps the most difficult poetry in the Spanish language. Eshleman and his present collaborator, Jose Rubia Barcia, have not only rendered these complex poems into brilliant and living English, but have also established a definitive Spanish test based on Vallejo’s densely rewritten manuscripts. In recreating this modern master in English, they have also made a considerable addition to poetry in our language.”
