«Cancionero y romancero de ausencias» is the poetry collection by Miguel Hernández, published by Espasa in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together Miguel Hernández's last poems, written between 1938, during the Spanish Civil War, and the months before his death in Alicante prison. They are unfinished texts, without a definitive arrangement, revolving around absence, the memory of what was lived, the death of his first son and hope in the second.
It belongs to the Austral Collection, edited by José Carlos Rovira and published in 1994.
Recommended for readers of 20th-century Spanish poetry and for those interested in the figure of Miguel Hernández.
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.
