Breaking new ground

the long version

"A member of the Real Academia de la Lengua Espanola, Claudio Rodriguez (b. Zamora, northwestern Castile, Spain, 1934) has attained a preeminent status in the rich tradition of Spanish poetry. He has achieved this renown on the basis of five collections of poetry."--BOOK JACKET. "Each of these works is meticulously structured around a two-poem section that gives each its unique configuration and character. Yet, at the same time, each poem maintains its individual independence and singular integrity."--BOOK JACKET. "In Breaking New Ground, W. Michael Mudrovic presents a comprehensive reading and detailed analysis of Rodriguez's work to date, including Casi una leyenda."--BOOK JACKET.
