This is one of the greatest collections of love poetry ever published. Inspired by Pablo Neruda's youthful relationships and injected with an expressive eroticism, these poems are as accomplished as they are evocative and sensual. First published in 1924 to international acclaim when Neruda was just nineteen, this book is still adored the world over for being one of the most memorable, intense and romantic works of poetry ever written. It is a work of poetry to be cherished by lovers old and new.

Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1651–1695) was a feminist and a woman ahead of her time. She was very much a public intellectual and her contemporaries called her "the Tenth Muse" and "the Phoenix of Mexico", names that continue to resonate. This self-taught intellectual rose to the height of fame as a writer in Mexico City during the Spanish Golden Age. The volume includes Sor Juana’s best-known works, including First Dream, which showcases her prodigious intellect and range and Response of the Poet to the Very Eminent Sor Filotea de la Cruz, her epistolary feminist defence of a woman’s right to study and to write. Thirty other works are also included.

Spain's greatest and most well-loved modern poet, Lorca has long been admired for the emotional intensity and dark brilliance of his work, which drew on music, drama, mythology and the songs of his Andulucian childhood. From the playful Suites and stylised Gypsy Ballads, to his own dark vision of urban life, Poet in New York, and his elegiac meditation on death, Lament for Ignacio Sánchez Mejías, his range was remarkable. This bilingual edition provides versions by distinguished poets and translators, drawing on every book of poems published by Lorca and on his uncollected works.
