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.

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.

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.

From the Introduction by Mohammed Sawaie:The Palestinian poets included in The Tent Generations, Palestinian Poems represent different age groups and backgrounds, yet they all express a strong sense of "Palestinian-ness". They include Israeli citizens, the offspring of those who remained in Palestine after 1948. They also include poets who lived or continue to live in the West Bank and Gaza, areas that are still occupied, or controlled by Israelis as of this writing. Finally, they include poets born in Palestine, but whose families were expelled, or migrated to neighboring Arab countries as a result of the Arab-Israeli wars of the Nakba in 1948, and then of 1967 and 1973.The educational backgrounds of the poets represented here vary. Salem Jubran, Samih al-Qasim, Tawfiq Zayyad, and Marwan Makhoul, for example, were products of the Israeli educational system. Others attended institutions of learning in various Arab countries. Fadwa Tuqan received little formal education in her city of Nablus; she, however, acquired instruction in language, support in writing poetry, and encouragement to publish her poems from her brother, the well-known poet Ibrahim Tuqan, mentioned previously.All these poems are written in fusha Arabic, Modern Standard Arabic, the codified literary, written language shared by educated speakers of Arabic in their various respective regions. Palestinian folkloric poetry, referred to as al-Shir al-Shabi or Shir al-Ammiyya, is not included in this work. Folk poetry, richly expressed orally in the Palestinian dialect,Ammiyya, embraces a variety of themes (national pride, panegyric, love, generosity toward guests/strangers, and so on), including the political themes expressed in the poems in this work. There is a rising interest in collecting and preserving this folkloric poetry, and several anthologies of oral poetry as well as studies have recently appeared.The 1948 Nakba, the wars of 1967 and 1973, and their subsequent tragic impact find expression in the work of Palestinian poets. Some of the authors in this collection had firsthand experience of the loss of home, and the up-rootedness from and destruction of their villages and cities. Others acquired knowledge of such experiences, the tragedy that befell Palestinians, through stories told by grandparents or parents, stories of hardship and deprivation transmitted from one generation to another. Thus, poets express in vocabulary specific to the Palestinian experience of the dispossession of homeland, the forced expulsion, the pain of living in the miserable conditions of refugee camps in the diaspora.
