The poetry of Jaime Gil de Biedma captures the mood of post-civil war Spain and of cosmopolitan Barcelona, where the poet belonged to a celebrated literary movement within the antifascist resistance. His poems are ironic and urban, satiric and unusually Mediterranean. The poet profiled in his poetry—defiant, self-mocking, with a nostalgic tango in the background—has become a legendary figure in the long struggle of the Spanish emerge from the dictatorship modern and free.
