Poesía reunida

Wallace Stevens is not only one of the great poets of the 20th century, but also the one who has exerted the most influence on American literature in recent decades, from John Ashbery to Mark Strand and Anne Carson. His work, complex, irreducible, full of light and air, is a celebration of existence and nature, of the climate, as well as a meditation on the mystery of the human imagination and its relationship with language and poetry itself. . Always reticent and impersonal, only at the end of his life, in his last poems, does Stevens appear more transparent and close, expressing the stupor of old age with a clarity never equaled in modern poetry. This volume, edited and prefaced by Andreu Jaume, brings together the essential body of Stevens' poetry, from his first book, Harmonium, to his posthumous poems, as well as incorporating the bulk of his aphorisms, an essential and complementary part of Stevens's work. he. To the exceptional translations by Andrés Sánchez Robayna and Daniel Aguirre, already classics, are now added the versions that Andreu Jaume has made for this edition of Notes for a Supreme Fiction and Las auroras de otoño. The book thus constitutes the broadest and most rigorous compendium that has been made in Spanish of this great poet.
