Tender Buttons
by Gertrude Stein (2014)
About this book
Gertrude Stein's Tender Buttons: Objects, Food, Rooms from 1914 is a poetic exploration of words - clustered, juxtaposed, redefined and played off one another - to subterfuge their common meanings, which Stein felt had become watered down, and to re-infuse them with expressive force.

What was lost
Herbert Morris
"Herbert Morris gathers fifteen poems in both of his signature modes, the dramatic monologue and the meditative reverie. The poet's tone is elegiac, his subjects drawn from history and his own early life."--BOOK JACKET.
Soledades / Galerías / Otros poemas
Antonio Machado
*Soledades. Galerías. Otros Poemas*, de 1907, es la recopilación poética más importante de la primera época de Antonio Machado, inmediatamente anterior al tema de Soria y del paisaje castellano. En el Machado de esta etapa ya se perciben algunos de los elementos que iban a presidir su obra: determinadas metáforas, gratas al poeta, temas de una concreta vibración personal y, sobre todo, esa reconocible altura poética y tono diáfano que le acompañó desde el principio: "Yo voy soñando caminos / de la tarde."
