First published in Spain in the summer of 1929, Concerning the Angels (Sobre los ángeles) is the great Spanish poet Rafael Alberti's masterpiece, on a par with T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, Pablo Neruda's Residencia en la tierra and Federico García Lorca's Poeta en Nueva York. It marks a major departure from the light-hearted tone of the poet's earlier verse, which was notably influenced by Andalusian folksong. It is at once intensely imaginative and intimately realistic, a lyrical illumination of the poet's "dark night of the soul." Rafael Alberti, born in 1902, is the last surviving member of the so-called "Generation of 1927" that included such notable Spanish poets as Federico García Lorca, Vincente Aleixandre, Pedro Salinas, Jorge Guillén, and Luis Cernuda. Christopher Sawyer-Lauçanno lives in Massachusetts and teaches in the program in Writing and Humanistic Studies at MIT. |
