Although seven volumes of his poetry are available in Spanish, the
work of Angel Gonzalez has not been widely translated into English.
This bilingual edition, introduced by the poet, presents selections
from Palabra sobre palabra (Word upon Word), his definitive
collection. Included are poems from Grado elemental (Elementary
Grade), which won the Antonio Machado Prize for Poetry. Born in
Oviedo, Spain in 1925, Angel Gonzalez published his first book in
1956 to immediate acclaim. His poetry is characterized by striking
imagery and deeply personal statement that is often sad and
sardonic. Of his work Gonzalez writes, "'Experience,' 'reality',
and 'preciseness of expression' are probably...the boundaries that
limit the space, on a horizontal plane, in which my poetic
intentions move. Upon this plane, trying to add another dimension,
I attempt to erect my creative and imaginative possibilities...In
some of these poems, written and published in Spain, the result of
a determined desire to bear witness will have to be sought not in
what the words say but in what they imply, in the spaces of shadow,
of silence of anger, or of helplessness that they discover or
uncover." Originally published in 1977. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
