Miguel Hernandez (NYRB Poets)

Miguel Hernandez (NYRB Poets)

Miguel HernÂ¡ndez is, along with Antonio Machado, Juan RamÂ³n JimÂ©nez, and Federico GarcÂa Lorca, one of the greatest Spanish poets of the twentieth century. This volume spans the whole of HernÂ¡ndezâ‚¬s brief writing life, and includes his most celebrated poems, from the early lyrics written in traditional forms, such as the moving elegy HernÂ¡ndez wrote to his friend and mentor Ramon SijÂ© (one of the most famous elegies ever written in the Spanish language), to the spiritual eroticism of his love poems, and the heart-wrenching, luminous lines written in the trenches of war. Also included in this edition are tributes to HernÂ¡ndez by Federico GarcÂa Lorca, Pablo Neruda (interviewed by Robert Bly), Rafael Alberti, and Vicente Aleixandre. Pastoral nature, love, and war are recurring themes in HernÂ¡ndezâ‚¬s poetry, his words a dazzling reminder that force can never defeat spirit, that courage is its own reward.
