De catro a catro

Published in 1928, "De catro a catro", by Manuel Antonio, is one of the most stunning books in Galician literature and made its author an inescapable referent of the European avant-garde. Manuel Antonio assumed the avant-garde as the only possibility of writing poetry in his time and, in the words of X. L. Méndez Ferrín, he humanizes his poems from a "deep experience of the sea, individual solitude and objects". Xerais publishes "De catro a catro" in the collection of Poetry from the threshold of Ismael Ramos, which takes a fresh and deep look at an imperishable book. "From four to four" is one of the most stunning books in Galician literature and has made its author an inescapable referent of the European avant-garde.
