Almost Paradise: New and Selected Poems and Translations by Sam Hamill

Did not finish book.

while his translations are awesome，and he had a few great poems in here, I couldnt finish it, and found myself literally saying outloud multiple times towards the end "what a load of shit." prob got about 3/4 through it. too sentimental, and almost too obviously trying to be like Rexroth
