«Poesías completas» is the poetic work of Antonio Machado, published by RBA Coleccionables in hardcover (365 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together Antonio Machado's lyrical work in three stages: Soledades (1899-1907), Campos de Castilla (1907-1917) and Nuevas Canciones (1917-1930), and opens with a poem by Rubén Darío. Throughout his verses, the poet's evolution towards a writing more tied to the landscape and the social concerns of his time is evident.

For readers of Spanish poetry and twentieth-century classics.
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."
