A contemporary of 1950s poets Angel Gonzalez, Gloria Fuertes, and Claudio Rodriguez, Julia Uceda is an original and intensely visionary poetic voice of today's Spain. This is poetry with a metaphysical, existential edge and a harsh honesty. Her writing reflects a private struggle with the largest question of all, the question of Being. This selection of her poetry is intended as a representative sampling from all her published work, including the 1994 "Del camino de humo." This is the first book-length translation of Julia Uceda's poetry."
