The Blood and the Shroud by Ian Wilson
Justo Jorge Padron is one of Spain's leading poets. Born in Las Palmas, Grand Canary Island, in 1943, he is among the most representative poets of the Spanish Generation of the 1970s. The brilliance of his metaphorical imagination provides the Spanish lyric tradition with an incisive, renovating power. Louis Bourne offers here a wide selection from Padron's thirteen Spanish volumes since 1989 and since his last English collection, On the Cutting Edge (1988). Justo Jorge Padron studied law and liberal arts at the University of Barcelona. Since 1974, when he gave up work as a lawyer, he has devoted himself full-time to literature, winning numerous awards for his poetry. He lives in Madrid and also spends time in Las Palmas and his wife's homeland of Macedonia. Louis Bourne was born in Virginia, USA in 1942. He did his doctorate in Spanish at New York University, lived for thirty-one years in Madrid and now teaches Spanish and world literature at Georgia College & State University. His other translations include works by Vicente Aleixandre, Maria Victoria Atencia and S. de la Nuez's anthology Contemporary Poetry from the Canary Islands (1992).
Ian Wilson studied at Magdalen College, Oxford, and is the author of many books, including the best-selling The Blood and the Shroud, Holy Faces, The Columbus Myth, and Shakespeare: The Evidence. He lives with his wife in Australia.
