[Karlo Mikhail · Rating 4 out of 5]

Militant but romantic, political but personal. Beautiful poems by a martyred revolutionary.

ديوان شعري عدد ٩٠ صفحة للشاعر الغواتيمالي اوتو رينيه كاستيو وبترجمة حسين عبدالزهرة مجيد لدار المعقدين من العراق - البصرة.
بعد تلقي التفائل من مقدمة المترجم الخاصة بتجربته الشخصية مع الشاعر فاقني الحماس للأطلاع لكن سرعان ما اختفى بخيبة الأمل في المحتوى، إنها قصائد عادي وليست ذات أبداع كبير..

I am willing to give anything Curbstone Press publishes a try, and I love bilingual editions.
