«Antología poética» is the poetry anthology by Miguel Hernández, published by Austral in paperback (384 pages, in Spanish).
An anthology spanning Miguel Hernández's poetry: his Gongorine beginnings in Perito en lunas, the love of El rayo que no cesa, the popular verse of Viento del pueblo and El hombre acecha, and the intimacy of Cancionero y romancero de ausencias. With an introduction by José Luis Ferris, it presents a body of work marked by nature, love and war.
It belongs to Austral's Contemporánea collection, within the Poesía series, and corresponds to the seventh edition, published in 2010.
For readers of Spanish poetry, both to discover Miguel Hernández and to gather his essential poems in a single volume.
Miguel Hernández Gilabert was a 20th-century Spanish-language poet and playwright associated with the Generation of '27 and the Generation of '36 movements. Born and raised in a family of low resources, he was self-taught in what refers to literature, and struggled against an unfavourable environment to build up his intellectual education, such as a father who physically abused him for spending time with books instead of working, and who took him out of school as soon as he finished his primary education. At school, he became a friend of Ramón Sijé, a well-educated boy who lent and recommended books to Hernández, and whose death would inspire his most famous poem, Elegy.
