    About this ebook

    THE PRISON POEMS is the first complete translation into English of Miguel Hernández’s Cancionero y romancero de ausencias, a classic of 20th century Spanish poetry, comparable in many respects to the work of Lorca and Pablo Neruda. The poems in this book were mostly written while he was in prison after the defeat of Republican Spain.
