La Voz a Ti Debida
120 pages
Genre: Poetry
Pedro Salinas was a Spanish poet as well as a university teacher, scholar and literary critic.
This book has the sub-title Poema and it is indeed conceived as a single poem whose various episodes do not have individual titles or numbers. But the way he expresses love is captivating. Salinas' style has something that captures your attention and makes it enjoyment come as you move along the poems.
I am just getting into the poetry genre and it has been some ups and downs, the styles, the way to critique and the things to look for in it. So I can't really give a proper evaluation of the quality or have a true appreciation of it pretending to have knowledge of the value it might have. I can simply give my opinion. I really liked it.
The fun part is that I simply picked this book because I wanted to accomplish the YA-a-thon Read a book by an author with your same initials. I simply googled authors with initial SP and some names came up, the first few ones had only one or the other letter and then I found him, so I picked his name and then looked for the examples of the work by him. It came to me later that he was a poet and well I took a random title and then just read it. It was poetry so I did not do any research or anything if I barely ever read the description of fiction works, for poetry, I simply go blind.
I gave this book 4.5 stars, I love most of the poems even if not all of them were the same level of enjoyment. I totally need to continue to read works by him. He might be the thing I needed to actually convince myself that I really like poetry.
