Eternidades / Eternities (1916-1917) by Juan Ramón Jiménez
Translated with an Introduction and Notes by A. F. Moritz
The Bitter Oleander Press, March 2026
“Written in 1916 and 1917 and published in 1918 by Nobel Prize winner Juan Ramón Jiménez, Eternities is one of the foundational books of modern Spanish literature and of the modernist period. A.F. Moritz presents a masterful translation of Jiménez’s landmark collection.
“Juan Ramón’s first trip to America (1916) and his interest in English-language poetry, especially Emily Dickinson, profoundly marked his work during the period in which he wrote Eternidades (1918). . . a milestone work in Juan Ramón’s journey from what was called ‘pure poetry’ to what he later termed, in the famous poem 5 of Eternidades, ‘naked poetry’.”
— Alberto Blanco
