Forbidden Pleasures: New Selected Poems

Luis Cernuda (1902 -1963), was a Spanish poet, a member of the Generation of '27. During the Spanish Civil War, in early 1938, he went to the UK. This became the start of an exile that lasted till his death. He taught in the universities of Glasgow and Cambridge before moving in 1947 to the US. In the 1950s he moved to Mexico. This comprehensive bilingual Spanish-English anthology is edited and translated by Stephen Kessler.
