Reviews

"The latest publication of the Borinsky-Franzen team, Frivolous Women and Other Sinners/Frívolas y pecadoras is one of Borinsky's most powerful works to date. The original Spanish versions of the poems are sharp and witty, while their English translations are confident and creative. . . .This collection of poems exemplifies the collaborative endeavours of Borinsky and Franzen."--Regina Galasso "Translation Review"

"While the title almost implies a reproach, Frivolous Women and Other Sinners is a celebration of the eccentric, defiant, glamorous cast of characters who inhabit Borinsky's poetry--women doing their level best to give sin a good name. In many ways, the collection invites comparison to Sappho. . . . Borinsky has both charm and core. . . . The English-language poems retain the bounce of the Spanish originals and are bursting with confidence."-- "University of Arizona Poetry Center" (6/25/2009 12:00:00 AM)
