«Obras selectas. Antología poética» is the poetry anthology by Miguel Hernández, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (368 pages, in Spanish).
An anthology that traces the poetic career of Miguel Hernández, from his early verses rooted in tradition to his more mature and committed poetry.

Edition by Alberto Cousté, with index and bibliography. Part of the Obras selectas de Miguel Hernández series.
Aimed both at those approaching Miguel Hernández for the first time and at readers who already know his poetry.
Miguel Hernández Gilabert was a 20th-century Spanish-language poet and playwright associated with the Generation of '27 and the Generation of '36 movements. Born and raised in a family of low resources, he was self-taught in what refers to literature, and struggled against an unfavourable environment to build up his intellectual education, such as a father who physically abused him for spending time with books instead of working, and who took him out of school as soon as he finished his primary education. At school, he became a friend of Ramón Sijé, a well-educated boy who lent and recommended books to Hernández, and whose death would inspire his most famous poem, Elegy.
