Trend’s translations—attentive to rhythm and nuance—invite appreciation of Jiménez’s central role in shaping twentieth-century Spanish verse. Framed with an introduction situating Jiménez within the turbulent cultural landscape of Spain and its diaspora, Fifty Spanish Poems remains an essential gateway to the poet’s artistry and to the broader currents of Hispanic literary modernity.This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.

Few have written more memorably about the work of poetry and the poetics of work than the Spanish poet Juan Ramon Jimenez, winner of a Nobel Prize and discerning teacher of an entire generation of Spanish poets. In this series of aphorisms, Jimenez brings together the elements of perfect work, both in writing and in other realms. Among these elements - the wellsprings of any kind of creation - are instinct and inspiration, memory and forgetting, silence and noise, love and regret. A treasure for poets and writers, "The Complete Perfectionist" includes helpful commentary by noted translator Christopher Maurer and shows perfection to be a process of "becoming" rather than an end product. In these insightful pages, a poet haunted by perfection reveals his methods of writing and revision, and measures the social and ethical dimensions of el trabajo gustoso, or pleasurable work. This revised and expanded edition includes many aphorisms recently published in Spanish and not previously included.

The great Spanish poet Juan Ramn Jimnez, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1956, was a mystic as will as a poet, and the deep spirituality which infuses so much of his writing makes itself felt with special fervor throughout this remarkable new collection of poems. Composed by Jimnez between the years 1917 to 1920, the works in this grouping vanished mysteriously, only to be rediscovered a half-century later among the authors private papers. Published in Spain for the first time in 1983, they appear now at last in a bilingual edition, the English lovingly rendered by the scholar and poet Antonio T. de Nicols, and introduced by the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Louis Simpson. This is a book of verse for the poet in all of usit sings of the invisible realities which we carry in our hearts and which carry us through a life filled with symbols, toil and beauty. Juan Ramn Jimnez, an early twentieth century pioneer in the use of free verse and author of over 70 books has been hailed by The New Republic as not only the dean of Hispanic poets, but the pioneer and the source of all those who wrote in the Spanish tongue after him. Antonio T. de Nicols is widely known for his translation of the Jimnez classic, Platero and I, which will also be republished through iUniverse.com.

This bilingual collection traces Juan Ramon Jimenez's relationship with the sea, a major theme in his work, from his seminal book Diary of a Poet Recently Married alongside other poems from his body of work.

Ebook con un sumario dinámico y detallado: Platero y yo es una narración de Juan Ramón Jiménez que recrea poéticamente la vida y muerte del burro Platero. Es muy célebre el primer párrafo:Platero es un burro pequeño, peludo, suave; tan blando por fuera que se diría todo de algodón, que no lleva huesos. Come de todo y los del pueblo dicen que tiene acero...1La primera edición se publicó en 1914 (Ediciones de la lectura), y en 1917 se publicó la edición completa, compuesta por 138 capítulos (Editorial Calleja, Madrid). Quedaba claro que Platero era un texto adulto, aunque por su sencillez y transparencia se adecuara perfectamente a la imaginación y al gusto de los niños. Algunos capítulos encerraban una cierta crítica social, revelando una dimensión del autor que muchos tardaron en advertir. El propio Juan Ramón Jiménez, en un "prologuillo" a la edición aclaraba: "Yo nunca he escrito ni escribiré nada para niños, porque creo que el niño puede leer los libros que lee el hombre, con determinadas excepciones que a todos se le ocurren".El poeta tenía la intención de ampliar el texto hasta los 190 capítulos; de hecho, existen tres adicionales, escritos en la década de 1920. Juan Ramón Jiménez planeó también una segunda parte, denominada Otra vida de Platero, de la que incluso esbozó algunos títulos. Un proyecto que, como el de publicar Platero y yo en cuadernos sueltos, no llegaría nunca a ver la luz. Juan Ramón Jiménez Mantecón (Moguer, Huelva, 23 de diciembre de 1881-San Juan, Puerto Rico, 29 de mayo de 1958) fue un poeta español, ganador del Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1956, por el conjunto de su obra, designándose como trabajo destacado de la misma, la narración lírica Platero y yo.

El Coloquio con Juan Ramón Jiménez es el primer ensayo publicado por José Lezama Lima. Apareció en 1938, en la Revista Cubana, y años más tarde en el libro de ensayos de Lezama Analecta del reloj.El Coloquio empieza con una nota de Jiménez en que declara que:«en las opiniones que José Lezama Lima me obliga a escribir con su pletórica pluma, hay ideas y palabras que reconozco mías y otras que no»Este libro fue originalmente un diálogo. Se basa en una entrevista hecha por Lezama a Jiménez durante la estancia de este en Cuba, en noviembre de 1936, en su exilio por la Guerra civil española. Más allá de que contiene parlamentos diferenciados para los dos interlocutores (indicados con las iniciales «J.R.J.» y la referencia «Yo»), no es posible discernir qué pasajes del texto tienen pertenecen a uno u otro autor.Lezama establece desde muy pronto su tema de reflexión. La primera pregunta del Coloquio y las ideas de Lezama que siguen así lo indican:«¿no ha percibido ciertos elementos de sensibilidad […], que nos hagan pensar en la posibilidad del "insularismo"?»«Deseo hacer constar que formulo la pregunta en una cámara donde flota la poesía, que la pregunta va dirigida a un poeta cuya respuesta siempre fabricaría claridad. La respuesta que pudiera dar un sociólogo o un estadista no nos interesaría ahora.»

Edición íntegra, ilustrada por Rocío Parra, y en tapa dura, de este clásico de la literatura española, escrito por el nobel Juan Ramón Jiménez, en el cual reconstruye, en un tono bucólico, sus andanzas con su borrico Platero por las tierras de Andalucía, a la vez que canta a los paisajes, las gentes, los animales y las costumbres, mediante un yo casi lírico.
