Today's Feature: The 151st birthday of Antonio Machado, the 74th birthday of Humberto Ak'abal, the 152nd birthday of Dmitry Gulia, and the 87th anniversary of the passing of W.B. Yeats.

Deep Dive:

  • Antonio Machado: A cornerstone of Spain's "Generation of '98" whose introspective poetry transformed the landscapes of Castile into a mirror for the human soul.

  • Humberto Ak'abal: The K'iche' Maya poet who used onomatopoeia and indigenous oral traditions to give the natural world of the Guatemalan highlands a modern literary voice.

  • Dmitry Gulia: The foundational figure of Abkhaz literature who created the nation’s first alphabet and newspaper to preserve a culture under pressure.

  • W.B. Yeats: A reflection on the Irish giant’s final days and his transition from the mystical folklore of his youth to the sharp, structural modernism of his later years.

Poem: "Has My Heart Gone to Sleep?" by Antonio Machado (Public Domain).
