Cantos de vida y esperanza

The overwhelming pace, dazzling metaphors, and suggestive, seductive, and colorful use of language come together here in a developed, well crafted, and muscial form. The results are poems that read like sublime symphonies. Aestheticism and its usual themes reappear in this book in their most mature form, along with the novelty of presenting a veiled rebuke to the US's political ambitions in Latin America (the invasion of Panama in the time of Roosevelt), opposing a nostalgic and spiritual vision of Spain against the materialistic predation the United States. However, the same author points out that his interest in these issues is that they are samples of something "universal." The collection iIncludes, among others, the poems "Soneto autumnal al marqu s de Bradom n," "All lejos...," and " Lo fatal, " in which the music is reduced to suit a more impressionistic and colorful treatment, achieving a greater sense of human emotions.
