Gravestones Lapidas
This Donald Wellman translation of Lápidas makes available in English for the first time the poetry of Antonio Gamoneda, recipient of the Cervantes Prize in 2006 and now, despite years of repression under the Franco regime, one of the most respected voices in Spain. American readers will find that Gamoneda’s poetry, beautifully and skillfully rendered in Donald Wellman’s English translation, communicates not only the painful emotions of Franco-era Spain but also the fortitude of the Spanish people in their struggle.
Book of the Cold
BOOK OF THE COLD is the long-overdue English translation of legendary Spanish poet Antonio Gamoneda's 1992 long poem--a surreal, folkloric, modernist masterpiece between poetry and prose. "When a younger generation of Spanish poets began to awaken and stretch their creative limbs at the dawn of a post-Franco era, what they found, intensified by decades of resistance and years of silence, was the beacon of Antonio Gamoneda's mature poetry. His evocative sensual palette--the scent, feel, taste, and sound of conflicted experience, a lurching between the repellent and the irresistible--is virtually without comparison. But the real miracle of his work is how he combines that flashy richness with ...

The Poetics of Self-consciousness
"Twentieth-century poetry engages in a highly self-conscious meditation on the nature of poetic language. Spanish poetry, however, has sometimes been considered an exception to this tendency. This book, with its focus on linguistic self-reflexivity, refutes the notion that major Spanish poets such as Jorge Guillen and Vicente Aleixandre are theoretically naive creators. In a series of nuanced readings, Jonathan Mayhew demonstrates the extent to which modern Spanish poets are conscious of their linguistic medium." "Previous books on Spanish poetry published in English have been more limited in scope, usually including poets of a single "generation." The Poetics of Self-Consciousness is the fi...

How Trauma Resonates: Art, Literature and Theoretical Practice
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2014.

Key scholars, including Cathy Caruth and Ann E. Kaplan, are employed to develop these important research areas, as conference p...
Premio Reina Sofía de Poesía Iberoamericana (1992-2011)
En las bases de la convocatoria del Premio Reina Sofía de Poesía Iberoamericana se hace constar que el premiado recibe como parte del galardón la “edición de un volumen con una recopilación antológica de poemas del autor premiado, para divulgar su obra y sin finalidad lucrativa, que será publicado por Ediciones Universidad de Sala- manca”. Ese gran encargo, realizado por Patrimonio Nacional y la Universidad de Salamanca, comenzó en 1992 con la edición del libro Cinco visiones de Gonzalo Rojas que prologó la profesora Carmen Ruiz Barrionuevo. Mas con aquel poemario se inició una nueva etapa para Ediciones Universidad de Salamanca. En lo propiamente editorial dio origen a una co...
The Twilight of the Avant-garde
Twilight of the Avant-Garde addresses the central problem of contemporary Spanish poetry: the attempt to preserve the scope and ambition of modernist poetry at the end of the twentieth century. Offering a critical analysis of Luis Garcìa Montero’s “poetry of experience,” and the work of José Angel Valente and Antonio Gamoneda, among others, Mayhew challenges received notions about the value of poetic language in relation to the society and culture at large. Ultimately championing the survival of more challenging and ambitious modes of poetic writing in the postmodern age, this volume argues that the cultural ambition of modernist poetics remains alive and well in our age of cynicism.
