Book Synopsis

Winner of the 2000 Harold Morton Landon Translation Award.

Jorge Guillen, one of the greatest poets of the Generation of ''27, went into voluntary exile during the Spanish Civil War, and spent many years in the US and Latin America.

While some poems in Horses in the Air were written in America, many of them had never been translated into English before. Guillen''s view of Europe from the New World, his experience as an exile and an immigrant, as well as his encounters with Spanish America provide insights into our shared culture that are fresh and relevant today.

This is the best possible introduction to a major Spanish poet. Jore Guillen sang memorably of the joys and sorrows of mortal existence: of life together and life alone. His luminous intelligence, cordiality toward the reader, vast knowledge of literature, and epigrammatic wit are governed by an impeccable sense of form. In selecting from his work and capturing his voice, Cola Fr
