This volume focuses on the life and work of Rhina P. Espaillat, an extraordinarily observant lyric poet who applies ideals of musicality, metaphor, and meaning to formally crafted verse that connects personal experience to universal themes. Born in the Dominican Republic, Espaillat was seven years old when her family was granted political asylum in the United States during the brutal dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo. She published her first poems in Ladies' Home Journal at age fifteen, and after graduating from college went on to marry, teach, raise a family, and maintain a literary career spanning more than seven decades. Having cultivated a fluent and scholarly bilingualism throughout her life, Espaillat also became a gifted translator of works by numerous important poets of the Spanish- and English speaking worlds, including Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, St. John of the Cross, Robert Frost and Richard Wilbur.
