Influenced by St. Augustine, \u003cem\u003eThe Cloud of Unknowing\u003c\/em\u003e and Wordsworth’s \u003cem\u003eThe Prelude\u003c\/em\u003e, the poem, full of literary, artistic and philosophical references, is simultaneously a meditation on the meaning of time and its manifestations—its epiph-anies—in a concrete life. The reflection on historical time leads the poet to the reality of “the pain of the world,” but also towards a world that is incessantly and continually beginning. As Yves Bonnefoy puts it, “Sánchez Robayna knows what ‘the new time’ expects of us which Rimbaud foresaw as ‘very severe’.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Book, Behind the Dune\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eEl libro, tras la duna\u003c\/em\u003e), already translated into French, Italian, Czech, German and Arabic, is presented here for the first time in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shearsman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47038140940528,"sku":"9781848615229","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781848615229_p0.jpg?v=1763750399","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781848615229","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
