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.

On. Modo espejo eléctrico

"El espejo electrónico e identidad en movimiento: La poesía de Andrea Leyton Beltrán y Johanna Rodríguez Ahumada. Los poemas escritos por Andrea Leyton Beltrán y las imágenes creadas por Johanna Rodríguez Ahumada componen la doble cara que se refleja en la construcción misma del poema. El espejo entonces no es un reflejo de sí mismo, sino un instante que construye la palabra, la poeta, la viajera que se contempla más allá del tiempo a través de este espejo de tinta que es la palabra. Las figuraciones de la subjetividad y el trabajo con la palabra, como son los poemas “Charada...

Poemas de Amor

?Que va a encontrar usted en Poemas de Amor? Usted va a encontrar en rimas reflejado en blanco y negro: el amor, que es el motor que nos hace vivir cada dia: poemas como "Amarte", "Mi esposa", "Por mas que", reflejan esa gran pasion por el ser querido y la necesidad de respirar en su aliento, la belleza de contemplar un amanecer y sentirse enamorado. Tambien encontrara falsos amores, promesas que se llevo el viento, traiciones y decepciones, que, por desgracia, son parte de nuestras vidas, en poemas como: "Tengo miedo", "Falsa moneda", "Copa de cristal". Pero la vida es bella y siempre valdra ...

Z Eros

Known primarily for his poetry of social protest Chicano poet Alurista moves in a new direction in Z Eros, which includes both erotic and political poetry. Moving rapidly between Spanish and English, he introduces readers to a language and a world that exists somewhere between the two cultures and voices. About half of this book is in English and the rest in Spanish.

Noches de adrenalina

Obra fundamental de la poesía peruana contemporánea. Publicado por primera vez en el 1981, este libro puede considerarse un símbolo de la liberación femenina, no solo como liberación del cuerpo en el sentido biológico, sino también del espíritu. Pareciera que la poesía de Carmen Ollé fuera una denuncia de las frustraciones que sufren las mujeres, tanto por el machismo, como por las prohibiciones morales y religiosas impuestas en nuestra sociedad, y la hace jugando con el lenguaje en distintas modalidades: irreverente, sagrado, culto y ordinario.
