It's great that you spotlighted this newest collection of Cardenal's poetry in English. Since you have named the various translators whose work is included, it seems right that the translator of "Prayer for Marilyn Monroe," which you quote in its entirety, should be named, as this translator is the "performer" of the poem in English. Don't you agree? As a translation fan, I, for one, think so. We would not be having this discussion, were it not for the translators.
