«Antología poética» is the poetry anthology by Antonio Machado, published in 1975 by Agrupación Nacional del Comercio del Libro in paperback (149 pages).
The anthology follows Antonio Machado's evolution from the modernist intimism of his early books, present in 'Soledades, galerías y otros poemas', to the spirit of the Generation of '98 in 'Campos de Castilla': poetry attentive to the landscape, the people, and the Spain of his time.
The edition, in Spanish, was published in Madrid and includes an introduction by Carlos de Ayala.
Suitable for those new to poetry and for readers seeking an essential journey through Antonio Machado's work.
Antonio Cipriano José María y Francisco de Santa Ana Machado y Ruiz, simply known as Antonio Machado, was a Spanish poet and one of the leading figures of the Spanish literary movement known as the Generation of '98. His work, initially modernist, evolved towards an intimate form of symbolism with romantic traits. He gradually developed a style characterised by both an engagement with humanity on one side and an almost Taoist contemplation of existence on the other, a synthesis that, according to Machado, echoed the most ancient popular wisdom. In Gerardo Diego's words, Machado "spoke in verse and lived in poetry."
