Escrita desde la mxima libertad y desde los mrgenes, y con una gran conciencia de la importancia del lenguaje, explora algunas zonas invisibles de la realidad. Est alejada de cualquier tpico y une conceptos tan slo aparentemente contradictorios: historia y utopa, afn comunicativo y experimentacin, contemplacin y compromiso, sensibilidad y rebelda...

Como afirma Jaume en la nota introductoria, «el lector tiene en las manos la compilacin ms completa que se ha podido hacer hasta la fecha de la poesa de un escritor que ya en 1969 se consideraba "un viejo poeta" --Cortzar firm su primer poemario en 1971--, aunque hasta entonces hubiera llevado en secreto esa otra faceta de su imaginacin que ilumina como un fuego oculto la riqueza de sus conocidas ficciones .

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The poetic works of Julio Cortzar, one of the fundamental authors in contemporary literature in Spanish, admired and beloved by consecutive generations of readers, are probably his least known pieces. However, poetry was always crucial to him.

Written from the utmost freedom and from the margins, with great awareness of the importance of language, it explores some invisible parts of reality. It is detached form any topic, and brings together concepts that are only apparently contradictory: history and utopia, a desire both to communicate and experiment, contemplation and commitment, sensitivity and rebelliousness...

This volume, in the care of Andreu Jaume, includes all the author's poetry published to this day, including a section of unpublished poems found in the Daniel Devoto and Mara Beatriz Valle-Incln Fund, delivered to the Lzaro Galdiano Foundation in Madrid.

As Jaume states in an introductory note, "readers have in their hands the most comprehensive compilation that we have been able to make so far of the poetry of a writer who, in 1969, was already considered 'an old poet' (Cortazar signed his first book of poems in 1971), even if until then he had kept secret that other facet of his imagination, which illuminates, like a hidden fire, the richness of his well-known fictions."
