1925-2025: Centenary of the birth of Ángel González
With this volume, A sample of the fundamental poetry of Ángel González is presented, accompanied by the always elegant and suggestive illustrations of Pablo Auladell. The work of Ángel González is a mixture of intimacy and social poetry, with a particular and characteristic ironic touch, and deals with everyday issues with colloquial and urban language, nothing neo-popularist or localist. The passage of time and the love and civic themes are the obsessions that are repeated throughout his poems., with a melancholic but optimistic aftertaste.
