Book excerpt: "Gabriela Mistral writes from an intense simplicity of expression, image, and emotion and Langston Hughes profoundly understands that. Her poems really shine through in these translations. He pays much attention to the music and energy of her lines. This is something like a selection curated on a theme: over half of them deal with pregnancy, motherhood, and children; many are lullabies" --from Goodreads.com.
