Campos de Castilla by Antonio Machado
A thoroughly edited text of one of 20th-century Spain's most famous volumes of poetry. An introduction offers a commentary on Machado's themes, techniques and metaphysical manner, examines the various influences on his work and traces the critical phases in his poetic development.ANTONIO MACHADO (1875-1939), a schoolteacher and philosopher who was also a poet, speaks of the mountains, the skies, the farms, and the sensations of his hometown in a clear and narcissistic manner. He brings a magical sound that transmits order, deep sight, and attention to the everyday - to time, scenery and stony earth, beanfields and cities, happenings and dreams. The translator, ROBERT BLY, is also the author of ten collections of poetry. Quiet in the Snowy Fields, his debut book of poetry, was heavily influenced by Antonio Machado. Bly has edited and translated works of poetry from Sweden, Germany, Norway, and Iran, including works by Neruda and Rilke.
In 1968, he won the National Book Award for poetry. Moose Lake, Minnesota is where he calls home.
