"Poet of the return". With these words Hans-Georg Gadamer appointed the great lady of German exile literature, Hilde Domin (1909-2006), evoking with them his years of exile between 1932 and 1961, the date of his return to Germany. The wealth of experiences, landscapes and readings of all these years constitutes the warp of a broad work published in the form of a fragmentary novel, autobiographical stories, essays, translations, and, above all, lyrical, intimate as well as rebellious, protest lyrical , clearly and increasingly naked and concise that accuses the influence of multiple Hispanic references among which César Vallejo, Neruda, Alberti, Juan Ramón Jiménez and, above all, García Lorca, in addition to other poets of the Generation of the 27.
Regarded as one of the most significant poets of the last third of the 20th century — the five volumes of her lyrical work, her essays on literature, and her novel have enjoyed constant reprints — Domin's work has spread to more than twenty languages.
