These sonnets were rounded like rustic pitchers, formed from precious clay, and Matilde’s white hands made them shine like supreme emeralds. Along the lengthy coastline, I take these sonnets and raise each one of them, as if they were drinks: Health, oh oceanic night with unassailable eyes.—Pablo Neruda, 1971 Nobel Prize in Literature winnerTranslation is the art of deception. The translator convinces the reader that this poem is an original, the correct brilliant version. Unless the translator achieves this deception, it will fail. Pelky and Young convince. Indeed, we may feel the original a plagiarism. Read Pelky and Young’s translations as the real McCoy with a happy boost. You will be literarily joyful.—Willis Barnstone, Mexico in My Heart: New and Selected Poems(Carcanet) Poets of the Bible (WW Norton)Translators’ IntroductionMatilde Ladrón de Guevara was born August 18, 1910 in Santiago, Chile.
