Esta antología de poemas de Carmen Serrano nos entrega mucho de lo mejor que la autora ha venido escribiendo durante años, una labor que ha realizado con un incuestionable amor a la palabra y una resuelta necesidad de escritura, sin cuyo continuo accionar no habria sido posible que tuviesemos ahora este volumen. Quiero destacar la pasion que anima estas paginas, una pasion que se mueve como en una incierta penumbra desde la cual la autora va mirando y padeciendo la realidad, la va transfiriendo a los textos para que podamos dialogar con ella en una intimidad que nos habla y nos recuerda nuestras propias vivencias. Es este un libro de quien ha vivido y soñado, de quien ha deseado y esperado con una intensidad muy suya, y ha querido que compartamos con ella su soledad y su angustia, su plenitud y su extrañeza. Lo que aqui hallamos se nos aparece entonces como una dilatada batalla que no siempre sabemos como comenzo, pero que estamos conscientes de que nos acompañara toda la vida.

Britains First World War poets changed the way we view military conflict and had a deep impact on the national psyche. Yet the stories of the 15,600 volunteers who signed up to the British West Indian Regiment remain largely unknown. Sadly, these citizens of empire were not embraced as compatriots on an equal footing. Instead they faced prejudice, injustice and discrimination while being confined to menial and auxiliary work, regardless of rank or status.As a collaborative project, co-commissioned by 14-18 NOW, BBC Contains Strong Language and the British Council, Unwritten Poemsinvited contemporary Caribbean and Caribbean diaspora poets to write into that vexed space, and explore the nature of war and humanity as it exists now, and at a time when Britains colonial ambitions were still at a peak. Unwritten: Caribbean Poems After the First World Waris a result of that provocation and also includes new material written for broadcast and live performance.

Un viaje por las distintas etapas de la vida a través de la poesía.¿Qué es la vida? Muchos han intentado contestar a esta pregunta mediante la ciencia, la filosofía o el arte. Sin embargo, solo los poetas han logrado acercarse a las mejores respuestas en pocas palabras: Calderon de la Barca nos diria que la vida es sueño; Neruda, que la vida huele a mar y a menta, y Rosalia de Castro, que no hay vida sin amor.La poesia forma parte de nosotros, aunque a menudo no sepamos verla; nos ayuda a comprender la relacion entre este mundo, el real tangible e imperfecto, y la lirica, un genero que traduce en rimas aquello que los mortales no alcanzamos a divisar con los ojos.En Una poesia para cada año de tu vida, la poeta Alejandra Martinez de Miguel nos acompaña en un recorrido vital a traves de grandes poemas que nos enseñan a comprender cada etapa de nuestra existencia, regalandonos algunos de los mejores versos escritos hasta el momento.

Este libro ahonda en la literatura inglesa de los siglos XVII y XVIII, explorando algunas de las diferentes tendencias poéticas que eclosionan y se consolidan durante ambas centurias. El presente trabajo aspira a retratar una etapa de cambio en la poesia inglesa en la cual, distanciandose de las formas literarias anteriores, sus protagonistas articulan una nueva topica y una nueva retorica, al abrigo de cuyas posibilidades va encontrando sitio, ademas, la profesionalizacion del escritor.

Una antología que reúne los grandes nombres del romanticismo inglés.Edición y traducción del escritor Gonzalo TornéWordsworth, Coleridge, Lord Byron, Shelley y Keats constituyen una secuencia que bajo el nombre de poesia romantica inglesa puede citarse al lado del teatro griego o de la novela rusa como una de las cimas indiscutibles del espiritu humano, y del que ningun lector inquieto deberia privarse.Escritos en la encrucijada de un absolutismo que se resiste a desvanecerse y una revolucion liberal que no termina de cuajar, y con un animo incapaz de confiar en promesas divinas pero que no puede dejar de ver un halo de trascendencia en la naturaleza, estos poemas son ejemplos de tension humana y de indagacion expresiva.Las sensuales meditaciones de Wordsworth sobre la caducidad y el tiempo, los paisajes helados y magicos de Coleridge, la altivez revolucionaria -en la politica y en el corazon- de Byron, las prodigiosas y exquisitas odas de Keats y los desvios visionarios de Shelley, de quien recogemos por primera vez en castellano su obra maestra, El triunfo de la vida, concurren en las luminosas paginas de un libro que sirve en nuevas traducciones de Gonzalo Torne un conjunto de poemas sin los que la humanidad no seria la misma.

A wonderful collection stemming from a hugely important project keeping young Welsh writers connected to Europe despite all attempts to sever these crucial cultural ties. Rachel TreziseAnthologies such as this one are the footings of the recently-burnt bridges that we need to rebuild. They help to tear down the walls put up around us. Always important, they are now vital. Niall GriffithsUlyssess Cat brings readers the work of some of the most outstanding authors of the younger generation from Croatia, Greece, Serbia, Slovenia and Wales who participated in a project of exchange residencies originally launched on the Croatian island of Mljet, where, according to legend, shipwrecked Ulysses found shelter. As Britain becomes metaphorically unmoored and drifts away from Europe, keeping connected through reading and dialogue provides us with new perspectives on our place in the world and on the tumultuous times we live in. The works of poetry, prose and essays included here offer a snapshot of the concerns and preoccupations shared by young writers from a region with a rich literature that rarely reaches English-language readers and at the same time confirms the vitality of the bilingual Welsh literary scene.

ULSTER S OTHER POETRY proves that the people of Ulster have never been humourless or dour. Far from it. With its sparkling variety of rhymes, songs and humorous poems from every tradition of the province, the book demonstrates that those who dwell in the northern quarter of Ireland have their own unique take on the strange ways of the world, coupled with a whole-hearted appreciation of good fun. Spanning over three centuries of Ulsters past, this anthology is full of comic pleasures. In its pages, country ballads jostle with city satires, songs aimed at children meet jingles advertising bread, and university light verses encounter the folk-poems of the Antrim weavers. Each poem comes with background information about its origins, and each page is illuminated by Hector McDonnells wonderful, witty drawings. This book is destined to become a much-thumbed, much-loved companion.

Frustrated by working under lockdown and worried that the 2020 festival might not happen, Arachne Press decided to continue as though everything would be alright, and asked writers to something that responded or reacted to or was inspired by a sixteenth century poem that editor Cherry Potts has always found comforting in a crisis: Robert Southwells Tymes Goe by Turnes; or that responded or reacted to or was inspired by some concept in it. The poem observes the ebb and flow of fortune, nothing stays bad for ever, nor anything good - so get on with it while you can. And they have. Oh, they have. This isnt exactly a response to Covid-19, but theres an echo there - in Katie Margaret Halls epic train journey, New Orleans To Vancouver, and Jackie Taylors Rewilding; but there is also concern for the environment, and relationships and lives in need of nourishment they are finding hard to find. As with Southwells poem there is a fine balance between dread and hope. stories and poems from:Brooke StanickiC.L.

A las cuestiones de hasta qué punto se puede hablar de alicantinidad o de alicantinismo en el ámbito literario, o de si cabría imaginar una específica poesía alicantina, contesta Luis Español: Si se me permite una opinion, dire que prefiero pensar que lo propio no es mas que una version de lo universal. Alicante carece de cualquier significado fuera del marco español y no se puede entender la realidad y la historia de España cuna del primer imperio global al margen de la del resto del mundo: el chotis, arquetipo madrileño, es en realidad un baile centroeuropeo de nombre escoces, y los chistes de Lepe son traduccion de otros chistes clasicos que los franceses cuentan de los belgas. Lo propio rara vez es esencial, porque no se refiere tanto a la esencia de las cosas, como al toque que les damos, es decir, a su sabor. Siguiendo con el simil gastronomico, podriamos decir que el arroz es arroz, y tiene siempre las mismas propiedades, pero tambien es cierto que nadie aceptaria que le sirvieran un arroz a banda si hubiera pedido una paella.

Más o menos paralelamente a la eclosión del Ultra en España, donde confluyeron los hallazgos del cubismo francés, el futurismo italiano, el expresionismo alemán o el dadaísmo de los exiliados de la Gran Guerra, hubo en Latinoamerica una generacion que abandero con entusiasmo las radicales consignas del arte nuevo. La gran constelacion de la vanguardia, que suma decenas de autores valiosos a los nombres de Borges, Huidobro, Neruda o Vallejo, vivio su epoca dorada en la vertiginosa decada de los veinte, en la que surgieron movimientos como el ultraismo argentino, el estridentismo mexicano, el indigenismo peruano o el runrunismo chileno, variantes de una aventura colectiva que se enfrento al legado modernista para renovar por completo la poesia latinoamericana. De la mano de Juan Manuel Bonet y Juan Bonilla, Tierra negra con alas propone, ademas de una seleccion amplia y representativa, un exhaustivo panorama del periodo, abordado en una brillante introduccion general que se completa con las semblanzas previas a los poemas de cada autor, magistrales en su concision y repletas de datos reveladores.
