As I told you a few months ago<\/a>, this blog began its journey as a literary hobby, twenty years ago.<\/p>\n

'Mayo longo': a beautiful poem by Rosal\u00eda de Castro written in Castilian lands<\/a><\/rel>

Over the years I have linked many websites on the blog's links page<\/a>. Over time I update them, as many of the linked sites have disappeared. Of the first sites I linked, one still exists:<\/strong> it is called \"A media voz\"<\/a> (In a whisper). Its domain was registered in 2002, so it is at least 22 years old. The purpose of this site is to collect poems in Spanish.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"A media voz\" has a curious history. Its author was a Colombian woman, Graciela Henao Londo\u00f1o<\/strong>, born in Manizales, Colombia, in April 1939. Graciela was a physiotherapist, a job she did until November 2012, a few months before she died in January 2013. The website explains how Graciela came up with the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating it:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"In 1998 she was diagnosed with carcinoma in her right eye, a diagnosis she faced with courage; and as therapy she dedicated herself to the creation of this page<\/strong> - under the pseudonym \"Grace\" - thus becoming an expert on this subject that she was passionate about since she was a child; and at the same time continuing with her professional work. It was a life dedicated to serving and enjoying poetry<\/strong>.\"<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To date, \"A media voz\" contains poems by 707 authors,<\/strong> both Spanish-speaking poets and poets in other languages, although in the latter case the collected poems are translations into Spanish.<\/p>\n

The design of this website is simple and elegant<\/strong>, and it has remained that way for many years. I have enjoyed some very good times reading this site, and if you like poetry I recommend it. Its URL is amediavoz.com<\/a>. Let these lines serve as a tribute to its author.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
