Hernandez (1910-1942) was one of the constellation of poets whose virtuosity and vigor helped make Madrid a literary nerve center in the 1920s and early 1930s. This valuable edition is marred in two respects: original texts and translations should have been set on facing pages rather than in two discrete clusters, and it's disappointing to find that Honig saw fit to present only 19 poems by a poet whose stature deserves wider recognition outside the Hispanic world.
