Synopsis of El miajón de los castúos

«El miajón de los castúos» is the poetry collection in the Castúo dialect by Luis Chamizo, published by Austral in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).

Subtitled 'Rapsodias extremeñas', the book brings together poems that sing of the Extremaduran people and their land with an epic and regionalist voice. Chamizo moves away from the pure poetry and experimentalism of his time to use the dialect of his surroundings, Castúo, and thus narrate the epic and identity of this community.

First title in the Clásica collection from Austral, Narrativa series. Published in Barcelona on 1 September 1998; edition by Antonio Viudas Camarasa.

For readers interested in Spanish regionalist poetry, Extremaduran literature and the legacy of Luis Chamizo.
