Since her first installment, Butterfly in Ashes (1959), Julia Uceda's poetry has followed a very personal itinerary that, despite sharing some aspects in common with her contemporaries, the authors of the half century, has been coining a unique poetics, explored from old but increasingly profound and ambitious, which shines with special intensity in her latest books: Unknown Zone (2006), Talking with a Beech (2010) and Written on the Bark of Trees (2013). Prefaced by the main person responsible for her editorial rescue at the beginning of this century, her former student and great friend, the poet and director of Vandalia Jacobo Cortines, this Complete Poetry brings together in a single volume all the books of an author for whom poetry is a mysterious area that connects us with the territories of the ineffable. Without neglecting the historical circumstance, Julia Uceda's voice, her inner gaze, dialogue with invisible presences, travel to the remote past or investigate the most disturbing aspects of reality, with a powerful diction that is structured in several levels of meaning. . From the desire for knowledge, from a feeling of radical strangeness, Julia Uceda has written one of the most solid works of her generation and of contemporary Spanish poetry.
