Antonio Machado
Spain
- Where in Bolaño
- Unverified — likely Between Parentheses, among the Spanish poets Bolaño invokes in his Catalan-press columns
- Why read them
- Spain's plainest great poet (1875–1939): Soria, elm trees, a dead young wife, and a road made by walking; he crossed the Pyrenees ahead of Franco's army and died a month later in Collioure, which is exactly the kind of poet's death Bolaño collected.
