LUIS CERNUDA (1902-1963) has come to be seen as the most
influential poet of Spain's -Generation of 1927, - exceeding even
Lorca in terms of the poetic resources and ideas that he created
for poets of later generations. Because of the Fascist victory in
the Spanish Civil War, Cernuda went into exile from Spain in 1939
and lived in Scotland, England, the USA, and Mexico, where he
joined several other Spanish poets in a small community in
exile.
REGINALD GIBBONS is the author of eight books of poems, most
recently Creatures of a Day, and several works of translation from
ancient Greek and from Spanish.
