Not what I expected
I was excited to get this dual-language edition, but some of the poems just didn’t resonate with me like I thought they would. The presentation is nice, but I found a few translations lacking in capturing Machado's depth. I might give it another shot later, but for now, it's just okay.

Great for language learners
As someone learning Spanish, I found this selected poems book very helpful. The English translations are right next to the Spanish text, which makes it easier to understand Machado's unique style. However, the book arrived with a slight dent on the cover, which was a bit disappointing. Still, a great read!
