En los celestes mástiles del tiempo

This anthology, specially prepared to commemorate the centenary of J. M. Caballero Bonald, offers the most complete and representative overview of one of the most singular and powerful voices in contemporary Spanish poetry. The volume traces a journey from his early poems—already marked by an unmistakable sensibility—to his later compositions, where his writing achieves exceptional critical intensity and formal refinement. The selection allows us to follow the evolution and deepening of a poetics that, starting from an intimate lyricism, delves into an increasingly elaborate language, fully aware of its own transformative power. Centered on the major themes that articulate his work—memory and the passage of time, conflicted identity, ethical insubordination, and the revelatory power of the poetic word—the anthology illuminates the author's different stages and, at the same time, stands as an independent book, capable of demonstrating the internal coherence of his lyrical universe.
