Benjam�n Prado was born in Madrid in 1961, a fact that made him a witness to the death of Franco in 1975 and a protagonist in the subsequent cultural revolution in Spain that was first known as La movida in Madrid. . . . Prado is a columnist for EL PAIS, Spain's most widely read newspaper, where he is a staunch defender of human rights. He is also a novelist and poet of internationally recognized stature. . . . [Shelter from the Storm] is certainly the Holy Grail of his poetry.--Gordon E. McNeer "from "Note from the Translator""
