Title: Los poetas de la guerra
Description: "Appeared in New York as far back as 1893, in the words of his prologue and fervent animator José Martí, this volume set out to save <all they thought in our days of nation those who had fire and disinterest to found it>. It is not a nostalgic evocation of the epic epic, but a testimony of a need: to pour into more or less coherent and rhythmic verses a feeling: the overflowing patriotism, the veneration of the absent mother or the distant wife, the dramatic appeal to the contrary, the praise to the epic with sue stela of heroes and martyrs ... From that torrent the Apostle drank. And since irradiation exists, the echo of his visionary soul still reaches us. Therefore, the aspiration is to share, multiply the resonances between the new generations. On the one hundred and fifty anniversary of the beginning of the Great War and one hundred and twenty-five years after its first edition, I hope this anthology serves to awaken or fan the love for our history, to extol the sacrifice that was lived in the bush, and at the same time to value the self-denial of our hero-poets."
