La amante / The Lover
Poetry , 1925
Alianza
Pages: 112
La amante is divided into four parts: Towards the Highlands, Towards the Northern Coast, Returning from the Coast, and Madrid. The brief poems, reminiscent of the songs of Gil Vicente and the traditional Cancionero, and introduced by the resonant names of the geography of Castile, possess the poetic genius, grace, and freshness that characterize this decisive stage of Rafael Alberti's long journey in search of new forms of lyrical expression.
