A novel in verse about the life and work of Rubén Darío, a Nicaraguan poet who started life as an abandoned child and grew to become the father of a new literary movement. Includes historical notes.

This is the Spanish language edition of With a Star in My Hand: Rubén Darío, Poetry Hero.

De niño, a Rubén Darío le gustaba escuchar a su tío abuelo, un hombre que contaba cuentos exagerados con una poderosa voz de trueno. Rubén aprendió bien pronto la magia de contar cuentos y descubrió el embeleso y la belleza del verso.

Con su incansable alma romántica, Rubén viajó a través de América Central y América del Sur en busca de aventura y conexión. Mientras descubría nuevos lugares y amores, escribía poemas para expresar la tormenta salvaje de sentimientos. Pero las formas tradicionales eran muy restrictivas. Comenzó a improvisar sus propias formas poéticas para plasmar el mundo entero en sus palabras. A la edad de veintiún años, publicó su primer libro, Azul, que anunció un nuevo y vibrante movimiento literario llamado Modernismo que combinaba poesía y prosa y convertía esa mezcla en algo mágico.

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

As a little boy, Rubén Darío loved to listen to his great uncle, a man who told tall tales in a booming, larger-than-life voice. Rubén quickly learned the magic of storytelling, and discovered the rapture and beauty of verse.

A restless and romantic soul, Rubén traveled across Central and South America seeking adventure and connection. As he discovered new places and new loves, he wrote poems to express his wild storm of feelings. But the traditional forms felt too restrictive. He began to improvise his own poetic forms so he could capture the entire world in his words. At the age of twenty-one, he published his first book Azul, which heralded a vibrant new literary movement called Modernismo that blended poetry and prose into something magical.

In gorgeous poems of her own, Margarita Engle tells the story of this passionate young man who revolutionized world literature.
