Selected Poems

Aníbal Núñez (1944-1987) has been described as the best Spanish poet of his generation sometimes called the generation of '68. His recognition has been a long time coming no doubt due to the fact that he stood outside the accepted currents of his time. Poet painter essayist and translator he died young but left behind a very large body of work which has only begun to receive its due in recent years as the critical orthodoxy in Spain has begun to accommodate his singular vision.
