La poesía de Claudio Rodríguez es un milagro del equilibrio: halla su mejor decir a medio camino entre lo lírico y lo narrativo; sabe sostenerse sobre la delgada línea que separa lo racional de lo irracional; participa del aliento más alto y se nos manifiesta terrestre, casi campesina; hace canto de lo coloquial y lleva la voz de los clásicos hasta su propio instrumento para reinventarla. En su entonación andan juntas la hondura de Quevedo y la gracia aleve de Garcilaso; el misterio de san Juan y el desgarro de Manrique. Su verso nunca nos convence, nos doblega; ni siquiera nos seduce, nos enamora, nos arrebata, sentimos al leerlo la misma gratitud que cuando contemplamos cuajarse en el horizonte, siempre por estrenar, siempre nacida de sí misma, la luz de una nueva amanecida.

Swan Isle Press Alliance and Condemnation / Alianza y Condena
A splash of sea foam. A sly sparrow. A man dodging the rain. From such mundane, unexpected moments, Spanish poet Claudio Rodriguez crafted his 1965 Alliance and Condemnation, a collection of poems that temper the joy of existence - the "bounty that turns my flawed breath into prayer" - with a questioning of empirical reality. In these pages are poems of love and hate, contrition and forgiveness, and the joys of sorrow and existence. Many of the poems are essentially parables that seem to address the immediacy of the world yet point beyond it toward philosophical and eternal values. The result is a conjoining of the real and the ideal, a frequent theme in Spanish literature. Many of these poems bridge the distance between the Spanish mystics, among them Saint John of the Cross and Saint Teresa, and the nature poetry of romanticism. Of all his creations, the radiant poems in "Alliance and Condemnation" offer the best imaginable introduction to his extraordinary life and work.
