«Ancia» is the poetic work of Blas de Otero with a prologue by Dámaso Alonso, published by Alberto Corazon in paperback (170 pages, in Spanish).
Ancia brings together two poetry collections by Blas de Otero, «Ángel fieramente humano» and «Redoble de conciencia», along with thirty-eight poems not included in them. With a prologue by Dámaso Alonso, the work explores uprootedness, death and emptiness, as well as love and hope, with carefully crafted verse and highly precise sonnets.
Ancia won the Fastenrath Prize from the Royal Spanish Academy in 1961. The work originally appeared in 1958; this Alberto Corazon edition is from 1971.
A work for readers of post-war Spanish poetry and the lyric of existential uprootedness.
Blas de Otero was a Spanish poet, associated with the Social poetry movement of the 1950s and 60s in Spain.
