«Cancionero y romancero de ausencias» is the posthumous poetry collection by Miguel Hernández, published by Diario El País in paperback (202 pages, in Spanish).
Written mostly in prison, this collection brings together the last poetic output of Miguel Hernández, composed from 1938, during the civil war, until the months before his death. The absence of a loved one, family memory and the proximity of death are expressed in an intimate, restrained voice.
Published in 2004, this edition belongs to the Clásicos Españoles collection (no. 45) of the newspaper El País.
For readers of twentieth-century Spanish poetry and for those interested in the final creative stage 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.
