Publisher Description:
Margarita Engle, la aclamada autora y Poeta Juvenil Laureada del Poetry Foundation, entrega una nueva y hermosa novela en verso acerca de Rub n Dar o, el poeta nicarag ense y h roe popular que inici el movimiento literario del Modernismo en Hispanoam rica.

De ni o, a Rub n Dar o le gustaba escuchar a su t o abuelo, un hombre que contaba cuentos exagerados con una poderosa voz de trueno. Rub n aprendi bien pronto la magia de contar cuentos y descubri el embeleso y la belleza del verso.

Con su incansable alma rom ntica, Rub n viaj a trav s de Am rica Central y Am rica del Sur en busca de aventura y conexi n. Mientras descubr a nuevos lugares y amores, escrib a poemas para expresar la tormenta salvaje de sentimientos. Pero las formas tradicionales eran muy restrictivas. Comenz a improvisar sus propias formas po ticas para plasmar el mundo entero en sus palabras. A la edad de veinti n a os, public su primer libro, Azul, que anunci un nuevo y vibrante movimiento literario llamado Modernismo que combinaba poes a y prosa y convert a esa mezcla en algo m gico.

En sus hermosos poemas, Margarita Engle cuenta la historia de este apasionado joven que revolucion la literatura mundial.
