Gráfico con una imagen grande y detallada de la luna sobre un fondo negro. El texto superpuesto dice “Claro de luna”, “Rafael Martínez Álvarez” y “1922”. Un recuadro translúcido contiene el siguiente poema: “Reza la luna un madrigal de nieve / Sobre el rastel de un árbol de toronjas / Y por el claustro de las hojas mueve / Las tocas de azahar de etéreas monjas.” En la parte inferior, una franja dice “#PLPR El Proyecto de la Literatura Puertorriqueña / Puerto Rican Literature Project.”

Mientras la misión Artemis program vuelve la mirada a la luna, recordamos “Claro de luna” (1922) de Rafael Martínez Álvarez. Ciencia e inspiración se encuentran en su luz.

We continue the preservation of Chuíto el de Bayamón's archives, a legendary trovador whose music and décimas are woven into Puerto Rican identity. Today, Chuíto's legacy inspires global artists like Bad Bunny, connecting past to present as traditional jíbaro rhythms blend with modern sounds.

Black-and-white newspaper clipping with the headline “Groundhog? He Means Nothing to Valleyites.” The article explains that Groundhog Day traditions did not resonate in the Rio Grande Valley, where warm winter weather made the groundhog’s shadow irrelevant. It notes springlike temperatures, mentions Charro Days, and contrasts Valley weather with colder northern states.

In this clipping from El Heraldo de Brownsville (Feb. 1, 1940, p. 1), the Valley shrugs off the groundhog’s shadow, because winter rarely sticks around there. 🔎 Find more historic Spanish-language newspapers in our collections on NewsBank.
