ante todos los portorriqpehos a quie

que solo Sc incluyan poesias de poetas

rs una grave injusticia, contra el

omitir los buenos y excelentes poe

miento poetico. Dariamos uh refejo pa
lido, erroneo e infel de nuestra Poe
sia, incluyendo solo a los mnertos, cuan
do entire ellos, tan justamente admira
dos respetados, hay muy pocos cuyo
modo procedimiento poeticO no sea
hoy anticuado y arcaico, de arte duro
y momico.
Puerto Rico ha tempo que ha en-
trado gallarda y brillantemente en las
modarnas corsisntes del Arte Nuevo
cue va Sc ha impuesto en- Ell mundo.
Nuestras liras va van vibrando al So

nemos una copiosa production poetica
oue eleva a Puerto Rico al nivel de
los q mas pueblos de Hspano- Anne

Es cierto que en- dicha selection de
