Text: English, Spanish
Anglesey's concept has verve; the time seems to have come for her brief anthology of contemporary female U.S. poets who write in English, presented here in dual English/Spanish translation for the benefit of domestic bilingual education programs-and, hopefully, also for that of Central Americans. An editor of the Voice Literary Supplement who has several other anthologies to her credit, Anglesey affirms cultural diversity in her selection, and vigorously roams the themes of protest, oppression, identity, and self-fulfillment, featuring work by Ntozake Shange, Rita Dove, Carolyn Forche, Jayne Cortez, and herself (including her own beautiful lyric, "Holding Him"), along with nine others. It's a very appealing collection. The Spanish translations, produced by two of Anglesey's Central American colleagues in consultation with her, contribute the sensuality of Spanish to poetry that generally receives it well, although the translators sometimes resist the sense of surprise in imagery and diction found in the originals.
