About the Book

Spellbinding bilingual collection of poems about Scotland and its authors and the Scottish dream of freedom


Prize-winning Spanish poet and celebrated lyricist and musician Antonio Casares visited Scotland in 2019 and wrote this volume of poetry, celebrating his love for Scotland and its literary history. In Scotland he connected with his Celtic roots in the mountains of Northern Spain. Casares saw Scotland as a symbol of the pursuit of freedom. His haunting verses radiate with the visions of Scottish cities and graveyards. He writes of the "whisper of the insomniac rain" of the "mystical night of Edinburgh", "Scotland roses, roses of blood spread in the name of freedom" glimpsed in a garden of Aberdeen, the beach of Aberdeen as "a blue page that the seagulls filled with their dissonant verses", and Stonehaven, "with stone syllables...where the waves sing endlessly" and "seagulls keep dancing a tribal dance in the sky." El Unicornio Blanco- The White Unicorn" evokes the magic of Scotland with its tragic history and its literary giants, giving readers a romantic glimpse of life and death in unforgettable poetic imagery.


Fascinante colección bilingüe de poemas sobre Escocia y sus autores y el sueño escocés de libertad


El galardonado poeta español y célebre letrista y músico Antonio Casares visitó Escocia en 2019 y escribió este volumen de poesía, celebrando su amor por Escocia y su historia literaria. En Escocia conectó con sus raíces celtas en las montañas del norte de España. Casares vio a Escocia como un símbolo de la búsqueda de la libertad. Sus inquietantes versos irradian con las visiones de las ciudades y cementerios escoceses por los que paseaba. Escribe sobre "el susurrro de la lluvia insomne" de la "mística noche de Edimburgo", "rosas de Escocia, rosas de la sangre vertida en nombre de la libertad" vislumbrada en un jardín de Aberdeen, la playa de Aberdeen como "una página azul que las gaviotas llenaban con sus versos disonantes", y Stonehaven, "con sílabas de piedra... en la que cantan sin cesar las olas" y "las gaviotas no paran de danzar en el cielo una danza tribal." El Unicornio Blanco- The White Unicorn" evoca la magia de Escocia con su trágica historia y sus gigantes literarios, brindando a los lectores una visión romántica de la vida y la muerte en imágenes poéticas inolvidables.


"Antonio Casares' seventh poetry collection, published posthumously, is both a love letter to and a eulogy for Scotland, 'a place north of dreams' and all the literary masters who wrote their best work in the misty gothic streets of its cities...To read Casares' poems is to take a dreamlike tour through Scotland....Lovers of Scottish literary history and poetry in general will appreciate the poems chronicling Casares's insomniac walks through Aberdeen, hearing Byron's voice "among the voices of the people who walk past me."..

(Publisher's Weekly)


"El séptimo poemario de Antonio Casares, publicado póstumamente, es a la vez una carta de amor y un elogio a Escocia, 'un lugar al norte de los sueños' y a todos los maestros literarios que escribieron sus mejores obras en las brumosas calles góticas de sus ciudades. Leer los poemas de Casares es hacer un viaje de ensueño por Escocia... Los amantes de la historia literaria escocesa y de la poesía en general apreciarán los poemas que relatan los insomnes paseos de Casares por Aberdeen, escuchando la voz de Byron "entre las voces de la gente que pase junto a mí. "..
