The two Spanish poets whose work is represented in this volume were born in 1875 and 1881: both were Andalusians and both
'adopted' Castile. Both evolved, too, out of the modernist movement of the late nineteenth century and came to occupy central positions in the Spanish poetry of this century. Each in his way strove to speak more directly through poetry, abandoning rhyme for the traditional Spanish assonance and experimenting in free verse.
And finally both these two friends (like so many artists and painters) were forced to leave the Spain they loved at the time of the Civil War.
