From Eve's Rib by Gioconda Belli. Willimantic, Connecticut: Curbstone Press, 1989. (Translation)"Steven F. White's translations of poems by the Nicaraguan poet Gioconda Belli capture her socio-political passions and her intense, steamy eroticism…A journeyman translator, Steven F. White translated Lorca's Poet in New York with Greg Simon with remarkable dexterity. He has also published Poets of Nicaragua, Poets of Chile, and The Birth of the Sun: Selected Poems of Pablo Antonio Cuadra, all with Unicorn Press, which also published White's own poems, Burning the Old Year and For the Unborn."
Sam Hamill, American Poetry Review"The works included here blend the intimate and the public and present a wide range of human emotions from desire for a lover to love for her country and its people in a way that blurs artificial distinctions without seeming rhetorical."
