Fifty Spanish Poems introduces English-language readers to the lyrical intensity of Nobel laureate Juan Ramón Jiménez, the poet at the center of Spain’s modernist revival. This bilingual edition, with translations by J. B. Trend, highlights Jiménez’s delicate verbal music and his lifelong quest for “naked poetry”—verse stripped to essentials, luminous in its evocation of landscape, memory, and spiritual longing. Arranged from his early Elejías through mature works like Eternidades and La estación total, the volume allows readers to trace the poet’s evolution from symbolist influences to a profoundly personal poetics of light, silence, and pure being.For students and general readers alike, this collection opens the world of Spanish modernismo beyond the familiar figure of García Lorca. 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.

La obra de Juan Ramón Jiménez constituye uno de los mayores logros de la poesía española del siglo XX. "Piedra y cielo" es uno de sus libros mayores y, con mucha probabilidad, el mejor libro del postsimbolismo europeo. Juan Ramón Jiménez supo construir un libro unitario en el que se profundiza, desde el propio poema, en el ser, la escritura y la razón de la poesía.

"Pureza" es el último libro que Juan Ramón Jiménez escribió en su retiro de Moguer (1905-1912) antes de asentarse definitivamente en Madrid. Aunque dejó todo el material organizado en Puerto Rico, los versos de esta obra no vieron la luz en vida del escritor. Cuarenta y seis poemas conforman este libro inédito en los que destacan la fuerza del presente, el canto de la alegría de ser poeta y la evocación de la naturaleza. La obra constituye la antesala de la poesía pura. El propio Juan Ramón la cita en su camino hacia el verso libre en su libro autobiográfico "Vida" y es que, como señaló Francisco Garfias, Pureza "tiene ya las calidades esenciales de la posterior poesía juanramoniana".
