In this study of the work of Jorge Guill¿(1893-1984), an important twentieth-century Spanish poet, Dr Matthews argues that his vision of the world as an ordered harmonious unity is echoed in the structural symmetry of his work. Close analysis of twelve long poems, forming ideological and structural pillars of the C¿ico and Clamor volumes, reveals the intricacies of Guill¿s mimesis of cosmic harmony. The first English translations of the twelve poems appear in an appendix.
