Artwork description

Homenaje al poeta español Miguel Hernández (1910-1942) nacido en Orihuela (Alicante). Hijo de un contratante de ganado, su niñez y adolescencia transcurren por la aireada y luminosa sierra oriolana tras un pequeño hato de cabras. Empezó a publicar algunas de sus primeras poesías en periódicos y revistas locales sin que, de momento, nadie le hiciera caso sino que, por el contrario, le tenían por chiflado ya que se extrañaban de que un pastor pudiera dedicarse a la poesía. Pero él no se desanimó por esto sino que siguió adelante. Encontró un pequeño grupo de amigos, de su misma edad, que también estaban interesados por la poesía y se reunía muchas tardes con ellos en el horno que tenía el padre de Fenoll. Allí leía cada uno sus poesías y las comentaban. De esta forma iban enseñándose unos a otros y se animaban mutuamente. Su primer libro de poesías lo publicó a los 23 años y se titulaba: \"Perito en lunas\". Intentó sin éxito abrirse camino en Madrid y a pesar de este fracaso volvió más tarde de nuevo a Madrid donde encuentra el apoyo de dos impresionantes poetas: Vicente Aleixandre y Pablo Neruda. Con su ayuda moral y mucho sacrificio va situándose en Madrid y abriéndose camino en el mundo literario de la época. En 1937, en plena guerra, se casó con su novia, Josefina Manresa, una chica que vivía en Orihuela y a la que quería mucho. A ella dedicó muchas de sus poesías amorosas. De este matrimonio tuvieron dos hijos.
Entre dolores acerbos, hemorragias agudas, golpes de tos, Miguel Hernández se va consumiendo inexorablemente debido a una tuberculosis pulmorar aguda en ambos pulmones. El 28 de marzo de 1942 expira a los treinta y un años de edad. Un pequeño grupo de familiares y amigos incondicionales le acompañaron hasta el cementerio de Alicante donde se encuentra todavía su cuerpo en un sencillo nicho donde hay una inscripción en letras rojas y negras que dice simplemente:\" Miguel Hernández, poeta. 1910-1942 \".
