Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Concave Mirrors / Espejos Concavos

I am delighted to see this second book in the Bridges Series come to print. I originally conceived of this series of books to be a bridge between two cultures, a bridge between colleagues, friends and fellow writers - two Cubans and two Canadians in each book. Ever since the inception of the CCLA in 2004 we have tried to live up to our mandate: The mandate of the Canada Cuba Literary Alliance is to advance cultural solidarity between Canada and Cuba through the creative expression of poetry, prose, art and photography. This book will evidence our ongoing success. For me personally this book is fulfilling my dream. It is warming for me to see my friends Manuel Garcia Verdecia, from Cuba, and Paul R. Carr, from Canada, united between these covers. I have known them since before I even conceived of the CCLA. I am also pleased to have the bridge built between me and my now new colleagues, Ernesto Galban Peramo and Hugh Hazelton and further to have this bridge constructed by my brother, Manuel de J. Velazquez Leon, the editor of this series. I graduated from Ontario College of Art and have been an active artist ever since then so it is also my pleasure to welcome fellow artist, Jose Manuel Gamayo Cordero to these pages. The bridge has been conceived, built and crossed. We welcome everyone that treads our same path. The title, Concave Mirrors, presents staggering connotations for a book of poetry. A concave mirror will reflect your image back to you but it will be upside down and backwards. This collection brings you the flipped images of reality - flipped images of climate and geography, the flipped realities of political struggle. Gliding clouds will turn into a woman of milky skin but all the time simply an inverted image of hope. We are led into the absurdities of a baseball game and the flip image of ritual and convention. Are you ready to question why a ball player grabs his crotch and find the inversion that might be a reflection of yourself? On one level concave simply means curving inwards. It is inevitable that this, not so simple book, of poetry will help you look inward and give you something to reflect on. I hope you enjoy this fine collection that is a concave bridge to other realms.

Sentires

Libro Sentires

A través de la voz poética de varón y mujer el poeta construye -en los primeros 132 poemas, con sinceridad y desgarro- vivencias acumuladas a través de la vida. Se dirige a las clases expulsadas del paraíso. Invita a recitar en voz alta, lenta y silenciosa voz queda, un soplo en un instante infinito, dolores propios, bellezas extrañas conocidas. Escucha la esencia: el silencioso sonido de la poesía. A partir del poema 133 deconstruye.

Las alas de ángel

Libro Las alas de ángel

Ramón Roldán Herreruela (Madrid, 1965) entiende la literatura como una búsqueda y la poesía como una liberación, como un exorcismo. Apuesta por Las alas del ángel como un ritual catártico y purificador, en el que los impulsos más recónditos y oscuros –cimentados sobre los valores más arcanos de una cultura y una civilización determinados- destruyen el tiempo y la memoria; destruyen un yo, para que germine uno nuevo, más cercano al Paraíso, con el amor y el deseo como impulsos atávicos y fragmentados en un conflictivo y sediento anhelo de ser. Además de su dedicación a la...

Reversible Monuments

Libro Reversible Monuments

Not since 1959 when Octavio Paz and Samuel Beckett published An Anthology of Mexican Poetry, has there been a collection which so thoroughly examines the poetry of the country known for being "too far from God and too close to the United States." Yet, as Elliott Weinberger writes in his introduction, "Americans know everything about God, but next to nothing about Mexico—few know that Mexico-particularly when compared to the United States-is a kind of paradise for poets." Reversible Monuments introduces this "paradise" to American readers. It includes major international writers like Alberto ...

Fragmentos de algún yo

Libro Fragmentos de algún yo

Cuando sueño, la puta fatalidad deja de ser una razón. Antes de Usted tocar con los ojos el primer verso… Quiero dejar bien claro que los poetas no sabemos el día que vamos a morir. Por eso debemos (a toda prisa) poner en blanco y negro Fragmentos de algún yo, un rincón donde se desnuden versos bajo agradables toques de imperfección. Tal vez mi error sea la soledad. Donde mantengo una especial rebelión contra cualquier des-humano quehacer. Tal vez mi poesía es una manera de decir. Lo mismo que hizo Pablo Picasso con sus líneas en cada una de las Señoritas de Aviñón: una manera...
