This book is an imaginary conversation with Juan Ramón Jiménez. William Kluback follows the journey of Juan Ramón and Platero, to adventure into the world, speaking of what it means to confront the foibles and opinions of human beings. Confronting the poet, the author seeks not merely to describe and analyze poetry and prose, but to ponder the affects they have on his thoughts. In other words, the author imagines Juan Ramón present; he wants to respond to his presence.
