This new bilingual selection brings together some two hundred poems—the largest collection of Borges' poetry ever assembled in English, including scores of poems never previously translated. Edited by Alexander Coleman, the selection draws from a lifetime's work—from Borges' first published volume of verse, \u003ci\u003eFervor de Buenos Aires\u003c\/i\u003e (1923), to his final work, \u003ci\u003eLos conjurados\u003c\/i\u003e, published just a year before his death in 1986. Throughout this unique collection the brilliance of the Spanish originals is matched by luminous English versions by a remarkable cast of translators, including Robert Fitzgerald, Stephen Kessler, W. S. Merwin, Alastair Reid, Mark Strand, Charles Tomlinson, and John Updike.\u003cbr\u003e\"A surfeit of riches. . . .
