Reviewed by Enrique Alcaraz Varó, Revista Alicantina de Estudios Ingleses, nº19, November 2006, 435-437:
[...]Although Siles Artés has evidently been guided by his likes and preferences in the selection of the poems, he has also taken into consideration, as he ponts out in the foreword of the book, those poems that, in his opinion, set new directions in the past towards successive movements and schools in the poetry written in the English language. However, I am sure that Siles's experience as a university professor for many years will have likewise oriented him in the careful selection of this Antología. [...]Siles has been faithful to the Spanish language and to the original spirit of each poem, as he says "sin desvirtuar sensiblemente el espíritu del original. [...]If I were an American reviewer I would probably close my assessment with a complimentary sentence stating that this book is worth more than its price. I would also add my admiration for Siles's mastery of both languages and distinguished sensitivity, and for his masterly dexterity in turning the complex and intricate into easy, accessible and enjoyable things.
My warmest congratulations to doctor José Siles Artés for this beautiful gift that he has offered us as a fruit of both his scholarship and his refined aesthetic taste and valuable literary experience as a writer.
