Politics and Verbal Play
In Politics and Verbal Play Martha LaFollette Miller traces the evolution of the poetry of Angel Gonzalez from his early existential and social period through later works that draw heavily on verbal and conceptual play for their effect.
Harsh World and Other Poems
Although seven volumes of his poetry are available in Spanish, the work of Ángel González has not been widely translated into English. This bilingual edition, introduced by the poet, presents selections from Palabra sobre palabra (Word upon Word), his definitive collection. Included are poems from Grado elemental (Elementary Grade), which won the Antonio Machado Prize for Poetry. Born in Oviedo, Spain in 1925, Ángel González published his first book in 1956 to immediate acclaim. His poetry is characterized by striking imagery and deeply personal statement that is often sad and sardonic. Of his work González writes, "'Experience,' 'reality', and 'preciseness of expression' are probably.....

Pedro Angel González
"Excellent study elaborates on a critical analysis of the work of González, a singular figure in Venezuelan 20th-century modernism whose work is characterized by his dedication to landscape painting. Throughout his life, he maintained a constant insecurity toward his own work, thinking it was anachronistic and out of the mainstream of European modernism, which he confessed he did not understand. He stopped painting for 10 years, then returned to his craft in 1936 to realize his best compositions in a regional, realistic style. He established his own vision of the Venezuelan landscape in a style that can be characterized as nationalist, in tune with the dominant direction taken by Latin American art at the time. Beautifully illustrated in color, with autobiographical texts and a selected bibliography"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

Poetry Of Discovery
A leading critic of contemporary Spanish poetry examines here the work of ten important poets who came to maturity in the immediate post-Civil War period and whose major works appeared between 1956 and 1971: Francisco Brines; Eladio Cabañero; Angel Crespo; Gloria Fuertes; Jaime Gil de Biedma; Angel González; Manuel Mantero; Claudio Rodríguez; Carlos Sahagún; and José Angel Valente. Although each of these poets has developed an individual style, their work has certain common characteristics: use of the everyday language and images of contemporary Spain, development of language codes and intertextual references, and, most strikingly, metaphoric transformations and surprising reversals of the reader's expectations. Through such means these poets clearly invite their readers to join them in journeys of poetic discovery. Andrew P. Debicki's is the first detailed stylistic analysis of this generation of poets, and the first to approach their work through the particularly appropriate methods developed in "reader-response" criticism.
Who Am I?
Identity as a concept does not appear in psychoanalysis until the work of Erik Erikson in the 1950s, but today it is considered a key factor in understanding individuals and groups. It is a concept of enormous complexity, encompassing biological aspects, internalised object representations that determine the inner world of the subject, and relational aspects in the real world. Answering the question, 'Who am I really?' is a task that can span a lifetime. Constructing one's own identity involves social, cognitive-rational, and unconscious processes. These elements underpin the answer to this question and its corollary, 'What is my value?' As we move from looking at individuals in isolation to...
