Born in Seville in 1902, LUIS CERNUDA was part of what came to be known in Spain as the Generation of 1927, which included Garcia Lorca, Rafael Alberti, and Vicente Aleixandre. Of these poets, Cernuda was the most cosmopolitan, totally familiar with European and American literary traditions. It was he who introduced the work of more recent English and American poets into Spanish poetry.

While Cernuda’s verse is vivid testimony to various aspects of his biographical itinerary, it is in his prose poems that he traces more explicitly an outline of his life’s journey. Reviewing this work, Octavio Paz wrote: “In these memories and landscapes, in these notes toward the history of his sensibility, there is great objectivity; the poet doesn’t set out to fantasize, or to lie to himself or anyone else. He attempts only to illuminate, with an almost impersonal light, something very personal: a few moments in his life. But is it truly ours, this life we live?”
Luis Cernuda (1902–1963) was one of the leading poets of Spain’s Generation of 1927, which included Federico García Lorca, Rafael Alberti and Jorge Guillén.

Luis Cernuda (Sevilla, 21 de septiembre de 1902 – México, D.F., 5 de noviembre de 1963) fue un destacado poeta y crítico literario español, miembro de la llamada Generación del 27 que tuvo que exiliarse tras la Guerra Civil Española. Su condición de homosexual, que nunca ocultó, chocaba con la represión del dictador Francisco Franco. Luis Cernuda siempre escribió sobre sus sentimientos, sobre su amor y sobre su atracción por los hombres. No estaba dispuesto a tener que ocultar sus deseos y prefirió abandonar una España que nunca olvidaría. En 1936, poco antes de estallar la Guerra Civil Española, publica la primera edición de su obra poética completa hasta entonces, bajo el título La realidad y el deseo. En él incluyó sus primeras poesías, así como sus libros más emblemáticos: Los placeres prohibidos, Donde habite el olvido, Las nubes, etc. El sentimiento homosexual, expresado con la belleza de la poesía de Luis Cernuda.
