"Toward the close of the last century, the poetry of the Spanish-speaking world was pallid, feeble, almost a corpse. It needed new life and a new direction. The exotic, erratic, revolutionary poet who changed the course of Spanish poetry and brought it into the mainstream of twentieth-century Modernism was Felix Ruben Garcia Sarmiento (1867-1916) of Nicaragua, who called himself Ruben Dario.The selection of poems is intended to represent the whole range of Dario's verse, from the stinging little poems of "Thistles" to the dark, brooding lines of "Songs of the Argentine and Other Poems." Also included, in the Epilogue, is a transcript of a radio dialogue between two other major poets, Federico Garcia Lorca of Spain and Pablo Neruda of Chile, who celebrate the rich legacy of Ruben Dario.
