Fernando Pessoa: Selected English Poems
edited by Tony Frazer

Pessoa wrote a large number of poems in English, some of them in the 
guise of early heteronyms (such as Alexander Search and C R Anon) 
which prove to be fascinating precursors of the later, modernist work 
in Portuguese. While not the equal of the masterly Caeiro, Campos, 
Reis or Pessoa-himself, these poems deserve to be better known and at 
least available in the English-speaking world.

Toby Olson: Darklight

Author of nine novels (among others The Life of Jesus, Seaview and 
Utah) and over 20 collections of poetry (including We Are the Fire - 
Selected Poems, and Human Nature, both from New Directions), Toby 
Olson demonstrates in this new collection that the passage of time 
has only sharpened his narrative voice.

Colin Simms: Gyrfalcon Poems (*)

A collection that gathers most of Simms' poems about these falcons, 
and his third such gathering for Shearsman. Part of a long project to 
bring most of his work into print.

Rosalía de Castro: Selected Poems
translated by Michael Smith

The largest selection available in English of Rosalía's poetry, this 
bilingual (or trilingual, as Galician poems are also featured) is 
essential anyone interested in Spanish poetry.

http://www.shearsman.com/pages/books/catalog/2007/castro.html


Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer: Collected Poems - Rimas
translated by Michael Smith; edited by Luis Ingelmo & Michael Smith.

The only complete edition of Bécquer in English, and as thorough as 
any Spanish edition. Bécquer was a revolutionary figure in Spanish 
poetry, as the godfather of romanticism in Spanish.

There are another 10 or so books before the end of the year, just in 
case there's not enough to read here....
