Negative Positive
Title: At least the letters were intersting
Review: This book is another where the translator took it upon himself to rewrite the 'colors' in the work. Boo. Poetry (in a simple definition) is not supposed to please, its supposed to cause thought/emotion that wouldn't otherwise have taken place.I am fortunate enough to live a few blocks from the place where Louis Varese did the first translations, and I say a prayer of thanks every time I pass.Note to the writer: Next time pick subject matter you are comfortable with to translate, instead of leading an inquisition against work you obviously have problems with.
