Song of the Simple Truth

by Julia de Burgos

"Book is invaluable both for its introduction to the life and work of Burgos and as a complete bilingual edition of her poems. Agüeros knows Burgos' work intimately, and his introduction is highly informative. Translations are less then satisfying, but this volume makes all of Burgos' poems available in English for the first time"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
