El canto y el vuelo

Twelve essays that close a three-volume reflection on poetry, decades in the making. The first volume looked to the past, to myth, language, tradition, translation and inspiration; the second to the present and poetry's ties with music, drawing, collage and architecture. This last one faces the future, roaming freely across times and places to set poetry beside science and ecology, poverty and speed, the margins, humour and chance, the self, dreams and silence.
