Eliot's The Waste Land, Pablo Neruda's Residencia en la tierra, and Federico Garcia Lorca's Poeta en Nueva York. It marks a major departure from the light-hearted tone of the poet's earlier verse, which was notably influence by Andalusian folksong. It is at once intensely imaginative and intimately realistic, a lyrical illumination of the poet's \"dark night of the soul.\"  Rafael Alberti, born in 1902, is the last surviving member of the so-called Generation of 1927 that included such notable Spanish poets Federico Garcia Lorca, Vincente Alexandre, Pedro Salinas, Jorge Guillen, and Luis Cernuda.  Christopher Sawyer-Laucanno lives in Massachusetts and teaches in the program in Writing and Humanistic Studies at MIT.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50372132503825,"sku":"CIN0872862976G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52821139915025,"sku":"NLS9780872862975","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0872862976.jpg?v=1750747183"},{"product_id":"rome-book-rafael-alberti-9781961056084","title":"Rome","description":"Rafael Alberti’s collection of poems set in vibrant Rome, his home in exile from Spain.   After his long exile in France and Argentina following the Spanish Civil War, Rafael Alberti’s final home in exile was Rome, where he wrote Roma: Peligro para caminantes (Rome: Pedestrians Beware). There, Romulus and Remus sneak down to the Tiber to suckle on feral cats, a jack of all trades pisses on the poet’s shoes, whistling as he walks away, and in the Campo de’ Fiori the poet compares sonnets with the wandering spirit of Giuseppe Gioachino Belli, all in the shadow of the glory of Rome’s imperial ruins.   Two suites of sonnets open and close the book, while in between, Alberti displays masterful poems in metered and free verse, rhyming couplets, and a numbered series of short poems. The blending of classical tradition with post-modern echoes the darkness and luminosity that exist within the poems, tinged with longing, nostalgia, love, as well as hope. In the end, the Eternal City is a refuge for Alberti:”I left for you all that I once held dear. \/ Oh Rome, my sorrow pleads, hold out your hands \/ and give me everything I left for you.”   This unique trilingual edition features exquisite and nuanced translations in English and Italian from the original Spanish by Anthony Geist and Giuseppe Leporace alongside visually evocative photographs of Rome by Adam Weintraub. Readers will want to take this poetic walk in Rome since what sometimes elicits caution, an aspect of danger, also becomes a destination for discovery.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51060998701329,"sku":"NIN9781961056084","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51201788477713,"sku":"NGR9781961056084","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1961056089.jpg?v=1750997518"},{"product_id":"concerning-the-angels-book-rafael-alberti-9781961897427","title":"Concerning the Angels","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51384496029969,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51384497176849,"sku":"NIN9781961897427","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1961897423.jpg?v=1750836704"},{"product_id":"la-arboleda-perdida-book-rafael-alberti-9788420638027","title":"La Arboleda Perdida","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51465732456721,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51465732555025,"sku":"GOR009047548","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8420638021.jpg?v=1751445388"},{"product_id":"rafael-alberti-para-ninos-book-rafael-alberti-9788430592906","title":"Rafael Alberti para ninos","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51795643072785,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51795643302161,"sku":"GOR006691228","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9788430592906.jpg?v=1752141007"},{"product_id":"rafael-alberti-book-rafael-alberti-9780520359123","title":"Rafael Alberti","description":"Selected Poems of Rafael Alberti presents a powerful and evocative selection of works from one of Spain’s most influential 20th-century poets. A key figure in the \"Generation of 1927,\" Alberti’s poetry reflects the vibrancy of Spanish literary tradition while also embracing modernist experimentation. This collection highlights the breadth of Alberti’s poetic voice—from the lyrical nostalgia of Marinero en tierra to the surrealist intensity of Sobre los ángeles and the politically charged verse of his later years. His early work is infused with the rhythms and imagery of Spain’s folk traditions, while his later poetry grapples with exile, war, and the search for artistic and political identity.   The introduction to this volume places Alberti within the grand lineage of Spanish poetry, drawing connections between his work and that of predecessors like Góngora, Machado, and Jiménez. It also contextualizes his evolution from a young poet rooted in Andalusian lyricism to a politically engaged writer responding to the tumultuous upheavals of 20th-century Spain. Alberti’s exile after the Spanish Civil War and his reflections on displacement and resistance lend his poetry a poignant universality. This collection offers English-speaking readers a rare opportunity to experience the full spectrum of Alberti’s literary genius, showcasing his linguistic dexterity, emotional depth, and enduring influence on modern Spanish poetry.
