The volume "Miguel Hernández: on the moons of the expert" (Miguel Hernández Cultural Foundation), by the professor of Spanish Literature of the University of Murcia Francisco Javier Díez de Revenga, has been published, a rigorous and extensive study (more than 300 pages) of his first volume of poetry, published in Murcia in 1933, when the oriolano writer was only 22 years old.

This is the last work on Miguel Hernández by Díez de Revenga, a path that UMU professor began almost half a century ago, in 1971, having contributed to hernandism in numerous articles and publications since then.

In the words of Aitor L. Larrabide, Director of the Miguel Hernández Cultural Foundation, all these studies constitute "fruitful rigorous approximations" that do not let us perceive the tenacious and constant work of Díez de Revenga in the diffusion and dissemination of Miguel's work Hernández, passion of a life that appears collected in this book "[...]

Díez de Revenga describes Hernández as an "exceptional poet of great strength and youthful vitality always maintained" and affirms that there are few cases like his where it is so necessary to know the life to understand his work.

And to this the professor applies: to throw out the vital moments of the poet, imbricating them with each one of the poems from the same gestation of "Expert in moons", published in the editorial Sudeste of Murcia, and with its relation with other poets and journalists.

Miguel Hernández was only 22 years old when he published his most hermetic and gongorino book, a poem that appears, in the words of Díez de Revenga, as "an island in the poetry of its author and in the poetry that was being published in Spain in the years 30, "but those who dared to trust that poet," knew that Miguel Hernandez was more, much more than in that book was going to manifest. "

Díez de Revenga argues that, in the poems that were left at the last minute outside his first book, many of the keys can be traced that allow to discover the reasons that took to Miguel Hernández to create a "so hermetic stage to be known like poet ".

Following these poems, rejected by the author himself, and trying to find out the reasons that led to his suppression, are, according to Díez de Revenga, crucial to know the poet's education.

In them, the feral and vitalist nature is very present, as well as a "sensuality lit and youthful", accompanied, as in the rest of the work that did self-censorship, by a prodigious game of metaphors.

This surprising metaphorical adventure, impregnated with a gongorino language that then excited the young Miguel Hernandez, was the starting point of a work as brief as intense, that today has been among the most famous of the poetry of the twentieth century.

The book "Miguel Hernández: in the moons of the expert", is now presented as an excellent Ariadne thread to unravel its meaning, the evident and the suggested, and better understand the work of this immortal poet.
