• "Life with all its complexities, challenges, and joy is Barkan's song. And he sings rhapsodies. A celebrated poet, publisher, and editor, Stanley Barkan has received numerous awards for his work, among them the Homer European Medal of Poetry and Art. To date, his poetry has been translated into 33 languages [...] Navigating easily between the past, present, and future, between the legendary and the everyday, Barkan's poetry is at once personal and collective, intimate and historical." KRISTINE DOLL

Hasta la fecha, su poesía ha sido traducida a 33 idiomas [...] Navegando con facilidad entre el pasado, el presente y el futuro, entre lo legendario y lo cotidiano, la poesía de Barkan es a la vez personal y colectiva, íntima e histórica."
