List of products by manufacturer Prado, Benjamín
Benjamín Prado (Madrid, Spain, 1961). Prado offers us a rich intertextual collection of fresh and compelling poems. Inspired by Bob Dylan’s iconic poem Shelter from the Storm, there are references to Paul Celan, Milton, Coleridge. Cernuda, Rimbaud, Lorca, Machado and many others including Pound and Hemingway. Prado weaves these figures into his text not merely as fellow poets, but as essential to the themes he writes about: love, cities, creativity, loneliness, the sea, the sky, his doubts and his existential searches. Prado engages us all in his poetry. It is not esoteric; it speaks to everyman. Gordon E. McNeer captures the essence of Prado’s language and poetic meaning with clarity and faithfulness. His English is idiomatic and poetic. This collection will be of great interest to all of us who teach Hispanic poetry as well as to all lovers of poetry.
