About this title

Synopsis

A beautiful collection of 25 odes — in both English and Spanish — from one of greatest poets of the twentieth century. 

Each poem in this collection is accompanied by a pair of exquisite pencil drawings. From bread and soap to a bed and a box of tea, the "odes to common things" collected here conjure up the essence of their subjects clearly and wondrously.
