While Cernuda's verse is vivid testimony to various aspects of
his biographical itinerary, it is in his prose poems that he traces
more explicitly an outline of his life's journey. Reviewing this
work, Octavio Paz wrote: "In these memories and landscapes, in
these notes toward the history of his sensibility, there is great
objectivity; the poet doesn't set out to fantasize, or to lie to
himself or anyone else. He attempts only to illuminate, with an
almost impersonal light, something very personal: a few moments in
his life. But is it truly ours, this life we live?"
Luis Cernuda (1902-1963) was one of the leading poets of Spain's
Generation of 1927, which included Federico Garcia Lorca, Rafael
Alberti and Jorge Guillen.
