豪尔赫·路易斯·博尔赫斯，阿根廷诗人、小说家、散文家兼翻译家，其引导了二十世纪六十年代拉丁美洲文学热潮，是西班牙语、拉丁美洲文学脉络中里程碑式的人物，其影响力更超出拉丁美洲、欧洲，成为二十世纪享有世界声誉的文学大师。

诗歌、散文和短篇小说是博尔赫斯三大创作成果，而且各有千秋，相互辉映。有一种很生动的说法是：“他的散文读起来像小说；他的小说是诗；他的诗歌又往往使人觉得像散文。沟通三者的桥梁是他的思想。”他是与帕斯、聂鲁达齐名的拉美三大诗人之一，他的诗歌语言质朴，风格纯净，意境悠远。

这本Penguin Classics出版的Selected Poems收录了博尔赫斯的200多首诗歌，为西班牙语—英语双语对照版，包含《布宜诺斯艾利斯激情》、《另一个，同一个》、《老虎的金黄》、《深沉的玫瑰》等经典作品。

"Selected Poems" brings together some two hundred poems - the largest collection of Borges' poetry ever assembled in English, including many never previously translated. The brilliance of the Spanish originals is matched with luminous English versions rendered by a remarkable cast of translators, among them W.S. Merwin, John Updike, Robert Fitzgerald, Mark Strand and Alastair Reid.豪尔赫·路易斯·博尔赫斯,阿根廷诗人、小说家、评论家、翻译家，西班牙语文学大师。

Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. A poet, critic and short story writer, he received numerous awards for his work including the 1961 International Publisher's Prize (shared with Samuel Beckett). He has a reasonable claim, along with Kafka and Joyce, to be one of the most influential writers of the 20th century.
The Streets
My soul is in the streets
of Buenos Aires.
Not the greedy streets
jostling with crowds and traffic,
but the neighborhood streets where nothing is happening,
almost invisible by force of habit,
rendered eternal in the dim light of sunset,
and the ones even farther out, empty of comforting trees,
where austere little houses scarcely venture,
overwhelmed by deathless distances,
losing themselves in the deep expanse
of sky and plains.
For the solitary one they are a promise
because thousands of singular souls inhabit them,
unique before God and in time
and no doubt precious.
 To the West, the North, and the South
unfold the streets—and they too are my country:
within these lines I trace
may their flags fly.
