Story0
The beautiful island of Ireland has endured a history that is pock-marked with struggle and oppression, with religious division and self-serving administrations. It has sacrificed its youth in wars, its generations in famines and emigration, but it has never forsaken its calling that Ireland is a beacon of dignity, humanity and a home for words and literature of every description. Across the centuries, whatever its joys or torments, its poets have assembled verse that speaks from its soul.

Story0
En 1947 apareció en la revista Trabajos y Días un poema titulado "La barca nevada". Lo firmaba Carmiña Martín Gaite, y suponía el debut de quien buscaba aún su voz, e incluso su nombre. Luego se sucederían los libros en otros géneros, pero Carmen Martín Gaite mantuvo siempre su fidelidad a la poesía. Siguió escribiéndola —así lo demuestran sus cuadernos—, publicándola —con las ediciones ampliadas de A rachas— y recitándola, en cafés y centros culturales, en la grabación digirida por Alberto Pérez que aquí recuperamos.

The sonnets are a collection numbering 154 poems dealing with themes such as the passage of time, love, beauty, and mortality. They were probably written over a long period of Shakespeare's life up until 1609, when they were first printed. The first 17 poems, traditionally referred to as the "procreation sonnets", are addressed to a young man urging him to marry and have children in order to immortalize his beauty by passing it on to his descendants.

Silence is rare in Nature. When we really listen, Nature is conducting symphonies of sound as her world goes about the day and night. Her invisible heartbeat is everywhere, for everyone. Our eyes are constantly bathed in the wonder of her ways, the soft drizzle of rain from soft grey clouds, the bleached harsh desert sand of a noon day, a wave caressing the shore, to the ravenous colours of a departing sunset. Indeed, whenever we look and listen to the vastness of our world Nature’s beauty is always there for us..

In this streamlined, lightly modernized version of an ancient legend, Cupid, the eternal God of Love, himself falls in love with the human Psyche. The tale can be enjoyed at many levels: as an exciting adventure, a romantic love story, a mystical parable of humanity’s quest for union with the divine, an expression of the troubled Irish political situation in the early nineteenth century, and for the unfailing beauty and musicality of its verse.

But on this occasion, uniquely, there was a problem. Many different candidates for the position were suggested, but for several years, none were chosen.
