This issue commemorates the centenary of T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, a monument of modernist verse, offering new global perspectives of this epochal poem, one that has become a hallmark of modernity, and which remains an icon of our postmodern age. It is divided into two parts:  Part I comprises fourteen critical, scholarly essays of international and cross-cultural perspectives on Eliot’s poem, covering areas of interest ranging from poetry criticism to literary theory, translation studies and philosophy. Part II is dedicated to creative artwork, including poetry written by four poets from the USA, Spain and Mexico, paintings by two artists from Germany and Spain, and a special section on music (the recording of a recital titled “Then Spoke the Waste Land: Songs and Fragments,” performed in 2022).
