Miguel Hernandez - Tumblr Posts

Miguel Hernández, tr. by Robert Bly, from Selected Poems; “Before Hatred, Thirsting,”

She has such a beautifully haunting voice.

My favorite song of hers is "Llegó con tres heridas" ("He Arrived With Three Wounds") based on Miguel Hernández's exquisite short poem.

Llegó con tres heridas: / He arrived with three wounds: la del amor, / that of love, la de la muerte, / that of death, la de la vida. / that of life.

Con tres heridas viene: / With three wounds he comes: la de la vida, / that of life, la del amor, / that of love, la de la muerte. / that of death.

Con tres heridas yo: / With three wounds, I: la de la vida, / that of life, la de la muerte, / that of death, la del amor. / that of love.

Book Review: Poemas Esenciales, Miguel Hernández

My favorite poem of the book:

Casida del Sediento Aroma del desierto soy: desierto de sed. Oasis es tu boca donde no he de beber Boca: oasis abierto a todas las arenas del desierto. Húmedo punto en medio de un desierto abrasador, el de tu cuerpo, el tuyo, que nunca es de los dos Cuerpo, pozo cerrado a quien la sed y el sol han calcinado.

My Full Review:

Pending review, I'll revisit because I need to complain about him.
