sloatsj's review against another edition
2.0
I can't really connect to these poems. They just seem dull to me. Maybe it's the translation, but I find nothing special about them. Hills and roads and landscapes. Lorca could take the same things and make them magical. With Machado they're just hills and roads and landscapes.
That's the principle perils of living without a library - people swoon for a poet and you buy his big, expensive book only to find out you don't like it much at all.

"Guiomar, Guiomar,/see me punished in you:/guilty of having created you, now I cannot forget you."
I didn't really connect with these poems, but the book was well-laid out and provided a good overview of Machado--I actually liked the introductions more than the poetry itself.
