Formed by "blocks of language" assembled with an exact balance of musicality and sense, the prose poems of this book enter unnamed territories where lightning illumines the earth for a second and eroticism reveals the body for a dark instant. At journey's end, since these poems are many senses a voyage, we can say with the poet "now there is only light inside my eyes." With El libro del frío, Antonio Gamoneda (Oviedo, 1931) has made a solid contribution to poetry in Spanish written on both sides of the Atlantic.
