Sonnets and Other Poems offers a cross section of lyric poetry from Portugal's Lu???s de Cam???es, author of The Lusiads (1572), the great Renaissance epic memorializing Vasco da Gama's inaugural voyage to India. A selection of forty sonnets is followed by poems using other metrical patterns and rhyme schemes, including terza rima, ottava rima, the sestina, the canzone, and the redondilha, a verse form typical of Portuguese poetry. Richard Zenith's fluid translations, originally published in 2009, have been fully revised and updated.
