Peter Boyle, the famed Sydney-based poet, presented the universal poetry collection titled "Legacy Edition", which contains the works of 49 poets representing 38 countries in 16 original languages. The anthology, with a global circulation of 300,000 copies, was created by premium rum brand Flor de Caa to pay tribute to artists around the world.
Boyle, who won the 2017 Kenneth Slessor Prize and was shortlisted for the Adelaide Festival Award for Poetry, is part of this collection with his poem "Robert Frost at Eighty". Other renowned international artists included in the book are Anthony Phelps (Canada), Richard Blanco (USA), Mario Melndez (Chile), Jonathan Davidson (UK), Jidi Majia (China) and Chn Phoung (Vietnam).
Legacy Edition has been presented successfully in various countries around the world including Peru, Bolivia, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico, China and Vietnam. The universal nature of the anthology, selected by Honduran poet Rolando Kattan, has drawn the attention of poetry and literature fans.
The book is part of a special edition of the Flor de Caa 12 Year and Flor de Caa 18 Year rums. The original artwork by Nicaraguan painter Augusto Silva featured on the exterior showcases his artful interpretation of the San Cristobal volcano, the most active in Nicaragua, which has become so iconic to the Flor de Caa brand for being the place where its rums are born and aged. The fertility of its soil, the volcanic climate to which the barrels are exposed during the aging process and the enriched volcanic water contribute to creating a singularly smooth and deliciously balanced rum.
