«Antología poética» is a poetry anthology by Antonio Machado, published by Editorial Edaf, S.L. in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
A journey through the poetry of Antonio Machado, from the intimate Modernism of Soledades, galerías y otros poemas to Campos de Castilla and Nuevas canciones; the author defined his verse as «palabra en el tiempo», and in it he addresses the problem of Spain, the landscape and love with intense human depth.

Intended for those approaching lyric poetry for the first time and for those interested in Spanish literature of the Generation of '98.
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."
