Antologia Poetica / W.B. Yeats Poems Selected by Seamus Heaney

W. B. Yeats es, junto a Ezra Pound y T.S. Eliot, el gran renovador de la poesia europea del siglo XX.

Por su siempre inspirada poesia, que con una forma de gran valor artistico ha dado expresion al espiritu de toda una nacion . -Jurado del Premio Nobel de Literatura

Nacido en Irlanda, la obra de W.B. Yeats esta transida de la mitologia celtica, los ritmos del modernismo sajon y la fiebre de sus pasiones ocultistas y esotericas. Lumen presenta aqui una rigurosa antologia de toda su obra, seleccionada y prologada por el tambien irlandes y Premio Nobel de Literatura Seamus Heaney. La traduccion corre a cargo de poeta Daniel Aguirre, quien ha llevado a cabo una impecable version rimada, sin duda una de las aportaciones mas brillantes que se han hecho a la traduccion de poesia en los ultimos tiempos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

W. B. Yeats, along with Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot, is the great reformer of European poetry of the 20th century.

For his always inspired poetry, which with great artistic value has given expression to the spirit of an entire nation. -Jury of the Nobel Prize for Literature

Born in Ireland, the work of W.B. Yeats is transfixed by Celtic mythology, the rhythms of Saxon modernism, and by the fervor of his occult and esoteric passions. Here, the Lumen imprint presents a rigorous anthology of Yeats’ entire work, selected and prefaced by fellow Irishman and Nobel Prize for Literature laureate Seamus Heaney. The translation is carried out by poet Daniel Aguirre, who has produced an impeccable rhymed version; it is without a doubt one of the most brilliant contributions that have been made to the translation of poetry in recent times.
