I Have Lots of Heart

Deeply admired by poets far more familiar to us, from Garcia Lorca to William Carlos Williams, the poems of Miguel Hernandez (1910-42), beam with a gentleness of heart. After fighting on the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War, he was imprisoned in Franco's jails, where he continued to write until his death from untreated TB in 1942: he was thirty-one. Miguel Hernandez is one of the most revered poets in the Spanish-speaking world.
