This collection of hard-edged, contemporary sonnets takes an uncompromising look at the current times, and our human failings and foibles. Although markedly contemporary in its subjects, ?Borges? and Other Sonnets presents keen awareness of the past and its unrelenting relationship with the present. The collection includes translations from two legendary sonneteers: Portuguese warrior-poet, Lu's de Cam?es (1524?1580), and twentieth-century Argentine, J. L. Borges (1899?1986). Baer's sonnet translations are widely praised for capturing the subtleties and soaring spirits of the originals.
