El Siglo de la Poesía en Nicaragua, Tomo I

This first volume of El Siglo de Poesia en Nicaragua offers the first anthology of modernism and a new anthology of the vanguardia movement in Nicaragua, sole organic expression of the new Central American poetry. It also provides a selection of the poetry of Salomón de la Selva, the first modern poet in Meso-America and the Caribbean. Two relevant and contradictory, while complementary moments, of the Nicaraguan poetry process that are part of the written lyrics of the Spanish language in the old and new worlds. This anthology illustrates and ratifies, besides the reference to Rubén Darío and later generations, the affirmation of Pablo Neruda: Nicaragua, the country where the highest song of language arose.” There are abstracts of our poets, such as: Rubén Darío, Román Mayorga Rivas, Santiago Arguello, Juan de Dios Venegas, Azarías H. Pallais, Lino Arguello, Alfonso Cortes, Atenor Sandino Hernández; a selection of Salomón de la Selva, as well as the representatives of Vanguardia: Luis Alberto Cabrales, José Coronel Urtecho, José Román, Manolo Cuadra, Pablo Antonio Cuadra, Joaquín Pasos, Alberto Ordóñez Arguello.
