Product Description
From Library Journal
This seems to be a time of major reassessment of 1956 Nobel Laureate Jimenez. Along with many reissued works there appears this "poetic" autobiography. Only recently assembled, it includes "Space," published as a poem in 1957 and called by Octavio Paz this century's greatest poem in Spanish. Yet much of the prose here is what we would expect to find in any literary memoir: likes and dislikes, reflections and ramblings. Thus, we learn that Jimenez likes Shelley and Keats but finds the dependence of Eliot and Pound on allusion uninspiring. Traditional Spanish poetry is too abstract; only the author's native Andalusian, simple and sensuous, can offset its endemic heaviness. Provocative. Jack Shreve, Allegany Community Coll., Cumberland, Md.
