«Prosas profanas y otros poemas» is the poetry collection by Rubén Darío, published by Austral in paperback (232 pages, in Spanish).
Prosas profanas renews poetry in Spanish: its musical language and imagery break with traditional canons and express the modernist ideal, in dialogue with French Parnassian and Symbolist lyric. Love, beauty, mythology and sensuality run through these poems, which range from Azul... to Cantos de vida y esperanza.
First volume of the Austral Clásica collection (Poetry series). 1998 edition.
Recommended for readers of poetry in Spanish and for those who want to approach the origins of Hispanic-American Modernism.
Félix Rubén García Sarmiento, known as Rubén Darío, was a Nicaraguan poet who initiated the Spanish-language literary movement known as modernismo (modernism) that flourished at the end of the 19th century. Darío had a great and lasting influence on 20th-century Spanish-language literature and journalism.
