Concave Mirrors / Espejos Concavos

Sinopsis del Libro

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.

Guía de las obras del Bodhisatva

This famous and universally loved poem for daily living has inspired many generations of Buddhists and non-Buddhists since it was first composed in the 8th century by the famous Indian Buddhist master Shantideva. This new translation, made under the guidance of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, conveys the great lucidity and poetic beauty of the original, while preserving its full impact and spiritual insight. Reading these verses slowly, while contemplating their meaning, has a profoundly liberating effect on the mind. The poem invokes special positive states of mind, moves us from suffering and...

El Parnaso español

Hasta bien entrado el siglo XIX, las ediciones de la poesía de Quevedo se organizaron según el modelo de la que en 1648 preparó, en complicidad con el autor, José González de Salas, un humanista de la época. La recuperación de El Parnaso español supone una contribución de primer orden al conocimiento de un corpus poético considerado un clásico ya en vida de Quevedo. La monumental edición de Ignacio Arellano, acreditado especialista en su obra, facilita un acercamiento crítico a un material que su anotación permite comprender y disfrutar en toda su complejidad.

Diálogos internos

Diálogos internos es un libro que reúne los ejercicios poéticos realizados entre 1982 y 2014, algunos ya publicados en suplementos culturales de diarios argentinos, en hojas de poesías, antologías, leídos en recitales o presentados en concursos; otros desconocidos, áridos, con intenciones líricas, propios de un autor que se interioriza por realidades que lo impulsan a vivir de una manera distinta, expectante y sin acción para quedar inmerso en el pasillo de la marginalidad política desde donde surge con su voz y concreta un testimonio necesario y humanístico.

Antología de la poesía cubana. Tomo II

Presentamos esta nueva edición de una obra canónica de las letras cubanas, preparada debida y singularmente documentada por José Lezama Lima. Publicada originalmente en 1965 y en tres volúmenes, se convirtió de inmediato, tanto por la amplia selección como por el valor de sus comentarios, en obra de referencia imprescindible en su materia. La edición, a cargo de los profesores Ángel Esteban y Álvaro Salvador, ha respetado escrupulosamente el proyecto de Lezama, que abarca hasta el siglo XIX. Un cuarto volumen (siglo XX), seleccionado por los editores, permite al lector una visión de ...
