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