Sarah at Crime Pieces reminds us that today is National Poetry Day in the UK. For this reason I would like to suggest a visit to Rosalía de Castro: Selected Poems. I would like to call you attention particularly to Adiós rios, adios fontes (originally in Spanish Galician) and/or Good-bye Rivers, Good-bye Fountains (the English version).

They are lovely poems Jose, with a strong sense of loss and of affinity with the natural world.
Thank you Sarah I would like to suggest to hear the Galician version in You Tube if you have not hear it yet..
José Ignacio – Such lovely suggestions! Thank you for sharing them. In both languages they’re marvellous.
I’m glad you liked them Margot. I found Galician very well suited for poetry.
Jose Ignacio: As someone who grew up in the country and left to live in town the theme resonates.
These feelings know no borders, Bill
