Born in Seville in 1902, LUIS CERNUDA was part of what came to be known in Spain as the Generation of 1927, which included Garcia Lorca, Rafael Alberti, and Vicente Aleixandre. Of these poets, Cernuda was the most cosmopolitan, totally familiar with European and American literary traditions. It was he who introduced the work of more recent English and American poets into Spanish poetry.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An underrated european poet,
This review is from: Selected Poems (Paperback)
Although some other spanish poets such as Federico García Lorca or Rafael Alberti are more popular in America, among the spaniards Cernuda is considered to be the best one. Why do i have titled an "european poet"? Because he probably was the most european of all the poets of what it's been called " La Generación del 27". He always loved the Coleridge, Donne, ... you can follow that trace in his poetry. He has also been the most influential poet among spanish poets. So, I think this is a good chance to get to know one of the most interesting and unknown european poet of this century.
