About this title

Synopsis

The poems of Ignacio Ruiz-Pérez, available in the U.S for the first time in this volume, are suffused with color and a textural music reminiscent of the work of Raphael Alberti, Pablo Neruda, Luis Cernuda, and all the great Spanish language poets of the twentieth century. They are filled with light and with the lovely dark of the magical.
