Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Colcha

Winner of a 2002 American Book Award Winner of the 2002 Colorado Book Award in Poetry "The natural voice at work in the poetry sings of one human life as if it were our own. I loved listening." —Rita Kiefer, author of Nesting Doll "This just may be one of the best books of poetry I have ever read. . . . This is the kind of writing that give poetry a good name." —Mike Nobles, Tulsa World "Abeyta's poetry amazingly captures this struggle with poems that are simultaneously tortured and thankful, celebratory and melancholy, earthly and ethereal. . . . Poet Abeyta beautifully captures the hardships of living in rural Colorado." —Blue Sky Quarterly "Abeyta writes about family, friends, and famous (and infamous) locals. His approach is intimate and daring while avoiding the self-absorbed, coffee-house clichés we fear. Yes, death plays a role in the connection of community and the land, but these poems are sly rather than dark, modulated rather than graphic, sweet rather than maudlin." —Wayne Sheldrake, Colorado Central Magazine In Colcha, Aaron Abeyta blends the contrasting rhythms of the English and Spanish languages, finding music in a simple yet memorable lyricism without losing the complexity and mystery of personal experience. His forty-two poems take the reader on a journey through a contemplative personal history that explores communal, political and societal issues as well as the individual experiences of family and friends. With his distinctive voice, Abeyta invites people of all cultures to enter his poems by exploring the essence of humanity as expressed by his particular Hispanic culture and heritage. Marked by intimacy and deep sentiment, Colcha not only acquaints us with the land of Abeyta's people, but also reveals the individuals from his life and family history in the most colorful and delicate detail. We meet his abuelitos (grandparents) in poems such as "colcha" and "3515 Wyandot," and hear of their connection to the tierra and its seasons, their labor and its bounty presented both viscerally and lovingly. We also meet the nameless people: the rancheros and the herders and the farmers, the locals in their pick-up trucks, and the women who make the tortillas. Abeyta's reflections on the plight, loves, joys, failures, and exploitation of the common person in such poems as "cuando se secan las acequias," "untitled (verde)," and "cinco de mayo" belong to the literary heritage of such poets as Pablo Neruda, Federico Garcia Lorca, and Walt Whitman. Colcha is not just for those who love poetry, but for all people who wish to be moved by the music of language and, while listening, perhaps to gain some personal insight into their own lives and cultural traditions.

Entonces

Libro Entonces

"Conozco bien la poesía de Leandro. Estoy familiarizado con ella desde hace algunos años. Y es a la luz de ese conocimiento y de esa familiaridad, que me atrevo a afirmar que este libro hoy honrosamente prologado por mí constituye la cota más alta, el nivel supremo a los que han llegado sus búsquedas estéticas y su trabajo lírico. La dicción y el fraseo son en estos poemas sencillamente majestuosos. Mallarmé decía que las tres cuartas partes de la eficacia poética de un textos estriban en su capacidad de sugerencia. En los poemas de "Entonces" es precisamente la capacidad de...

Eros en la poesía de Miguel Hernández

Libro Eros en la poesía de Miguel Hernández

"An analysis of Eros as the basic element underlying the direction of the poet's work : his desire for transcendence and artistic perfection. Supported mainly by a culturally and psychoanalytically oriented methodology, it is a systematic study of the evolution of the theme, particularly of erotic imagery and symbolism, across the entire poetic corpus"--Publisher.
