Author: Antonio Gamoneda
Title: Erroneous Song
Language: Spanish
Year: 2012
I’m generally not good with Spanish poetry but there are poets I somehow just get in spite of my lack of sophistication in this area.
Antonio Gamoneda is one such poet. Erroneous Song is his first collection of poetry since he got the Cervantes Prize back in 2006. This is very dark poetry. The 84-year-old poet is facing his own approaching death and trying to find meaning in existence. In every poem, his conclusion is the same: there is no meaning.
This is very dark, very complex poetry that cannot be fully understood without an immersion into the author’s poetic imagery that he’s been creating throughout his life.
