kazimir's review against another edition
4.0
I am giving this book 4 stars only because of how wonderfully luxuriant some of Bracho's poems are. Mostly those in the collection "El ser que va a morir".
Otherwise, when she is not composing wonderful complex melodies, she writes ‘philosophical’ poems, which are about as dull and you can get.

Gorgeous poems and wonderful translations.
The eyes of a jaguar are leaves trembling in the wind.
Fire, the dazzling butterflies.
