This book, 'Guardados en la sombra' (Kept in the Shadows), is a collection of unpublished texts by José Hierro, offering a glimpse into the initial stage of one of the most important poets of contemporary Spanish lyricism. It includes reflections on literary theory, the poetry of his generation, and his relationship with other authors and the arts. In addition, it presents stories from the 1940s, early versions of famous poems, and two complete dramatic works, providing a deeper understanding of the literary work and the evolution of the author's thought.
José Hierro del Real, sometimes colloquially called Pepe Hierro, was a Spanish poet. He belonged to the so-called postwar generation, within the rootless and existential poetry streams. He wrote for both Espadaña and Garcilaso magazines. In 1981, he received the Prince of Asturias Awards in Literature, in 1998 the Cervantes Prize and he received many more awards and honours.
