In 'Bable'
Karlos del Olmo

A small anthology of poetry written and published in the Asturian (Spain) dialect, bable, primarily during the Surdimientu (Renaissance) period, together with a brief theoretical introduction. The work spans the period from 1975 to 2010 and is based on the bilingual anthology Toma de tierra (Landing ) published by José Luis Argüelles in 2010 with the publishing house Trea. Poetry in bable is largely unknown among the poetic works of the Iberian peninsula because the language has no legal status as a co-official language in its own autonomous community.
