But according to the introductory notes to a new collection of all Burgos' known poetry by translator and compiler Jack Agueros, Burgos was one of Puerto Rico's most gifted poets – a writer who championed the Puerto Rican independence movement and feminism in equal measure.
The meter is, by necessity, different in the two languages, the rhythm and accents unique – which is why Agueros' and the publishers' decision to publish Burgos' work in both languages is so worthy of recognition.
There are 203 poems here, all that Agueros found of her poetry, collected from her two books of poetry (which contained only 53 poems total!), and from previously uncollected verse in magazines.
