Poetry is at the heart of all Rosa Chacel's work, one of the most important female figures of the Generation of '27. It permeates her novels, full of lyrical imagery and surprising expressive resources, her short stories and essays, and continuously surfaced throughout her life as an unstoppable impulse that the author herself never managed to quell. This volume collects all her poetic work, including, besides what was published in books, the pieces scattered in magazines, letters, and personal archives, as well as some of her best translations and a comprehensive introduction.
