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.

Born the child of an agricultural labourer in Dorsets Blackmore Vale, by self-education William Barnes (1801-1886) rose to be a lawyers clerk, a schoolmaster, a much-loved clergyman, and a scholar who could read over seventy languages.
