Völuspá is the best known poem of a collection of poems in what culture?
Völuspá Völuspá (Old Norse Vǫluspá or Vǫluspǫ́, "Prophecy of the Völva (Seeress)"; reconstructed Old Norse ] , Modern Icelandic ] ) is the first and best known poem of the Poetic Edda. It tells the story of the creation of the world and its coming end, related to the audience by a völva addressing Odin. It is one of the most important primary sources for the study of Norse mythology. Henry Adam Bellows proposed a 10th-century dating and authorship by a pagan Icelander with knowledge of Christianity. He also assumes the early hearers would have been very familiar with the "story" of the poem and not in need of an explanation.
Simple Verses Simple Verses (Spanish: "Versos sencillos") is a poetry collection by Cuban writer and political activist José Martí. Published in October 1891, it was the last of Martí's works to be printed before his death in 1895. Originally written in Spanish, it has been translated into over ten languages. Among the poems of the collection are "Yo soy un hombre sincero" (I), "Si ves un monte de espumas" (V), and "Cultivo una rosa blanca" (XXXIX). Verses pruned from various poems were adapted into the folk song "Guantanamera", which is the most popular patriotic song of Cuba and was popularized in the US in the 1960s during the American folk music revival.
