«Poemas de amor» is the poetry anthology by Miguel Hernández, published in 1974 in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
This anthology brings together love poems that draw on the classical tradition and renew it with symbols and images of a very personal accent; they reflect the poet's emotional intensity and his way of turning the experience of love into poetic matter.
Edition prepared by Leopoldo de Luis, with a preliminary study, selection and notes. Number 534 of El Libro de Bolsillo, Literature section.
For readers of twentieth-century Spanish poetry and for those who want to discover one of the representative voices of the Generation of '36.
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.
