I believe that Merwin is one of our best translators of Latin American Poetry and his work with Juarroz is no exception. He successfully offers the english reader Juarroz's funneled abyss. Although Roberto Juarroz's complete works have been translated into French, he still lacks the necessary appreciation in the english speaking world. W.S. Merwin at least offers strong selections from Juarroz's earliest and most profound volumes. If one is interested in la otredad as described by writers such as Borges and Paz, I highly recommend this book for further investigation.
