At head of title: Kalina.

"This bilingual Salvadoran poetry anthology seeks to challenge the traditional concept of nationality and explore the diverse identities that coexist in the world of Salvadoran poetry. Considering the blurring of identities and the elasticity of national borders, Kalina not only introduces the work of poets that reside in El Salvador and write in Spanish; it is also an exposition of the work of poets that have emigrated and write in the language of their adopted country. The poems offer both Spanish-speaking and English-speaking readers an array of linguistic, thematic and aesthetic contrasts and likenesses. The first of its kind, this anthology will provide an opportunity for Salvadoran poets and Salvadoran-American poets to establish a poetic dialogue amongst themselves and with the poetic community at large"--page 4 of cover.
