The first bilingual anthology of Brazilian Poetry to cover its entire 500-year-long history, this book drew the following comment from Yale's expert in world literature, Harold Bloom: Poets of Brazil: A Bilingual Selection is the only book available that gives these poets to us in both languages, Portuguese and American English. The choice of poets is remarkably inclusive and various and is particularly enlightening in the works of the twentieth-century Republic of Brazil. In particular, the representation of Manuel Bandeira, of the three Andrades and of Archanjo are brilliantly rendered. The quality of the introduction and notes is also estimable.

Review Summary: Endless family entertainment...
Review: My wife and I (both bilingual in Brazilian Portuguese and English) have sat for hours reading poetry from this book to each other. What could be more fun than that, reading poems with the Mrs? A great glimpse into the literature and culture of Brazil. Fascinating works. We both believe we could improve on some of the translations (hey, that's what we do), but, all the same, most of the translations are excellent work, too. We've really enjoyed this book together. More history about the poets themselves (like in a Norton's Anthology or something) would be of interest, but, as far as the works themslves, great stuff. The book is well put together, laid out, edited, etc., and gives hours of enjoyment for those interested in poetry, or Brasil, or both.
