Bøker av Ramon Lopez Velarde

`La suave patria' is often regarded as the Mexican national poem, an extraordinary tour-de-force that would change forever the way that poetry would develop in Mexico. It was one of the last works by Ramon Lopez Velarde, who died of pneumonia at the age of only 33 in 1921, and is the work for which he is most remembered today.

This bilingual collection, drawn primarily from Poesias completas y el minutero, offers English-language readers our first book-length introduction to Lopez Velarde's poetry.
