Antología poética
Ni su poesia ni su ensayistica han gozado de la difusion que Fina Garcia Marruz (Cuba, 1923) nunca ha perseguido pero que sin duda merece. Quisieramos que a partir de ahora el privilegiado lector de estas paginas apreciara el inusitado don que portan y que acaso como un oculto e intimo tesoro lo acompanaran siempre; paginas en donde, al decir de Eliseo Diego, se encuentran "algunos de los poemas de mas apasionada belleza que se hallan compuesto en lengua espanola desde que asomo el mil novecientos."

His role in the church in South Africa, internationally and in the United Democratic Front, contributed significantly to the demise of apartheid. He championed the rights of the oppressed and became the representative voice of the poor and disadvantaged. Allan is a gifted preacher, teacher, theologian, writer and an orator blessed with poetic tendencies and a flourishing vocabulary. He has the natural ability to inspire, motivate and stimulate critical and analytical thinking and responses) where globalisation threatens to be a new form of colonisation. He has eloquently championed the cause of economic justice, justice for the earth, gender justice and the struggle against homophobia in the church. His voice is a voice we urgently need to hear again in this era.
