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.

Oír la luz

Thirty years after the onset of his first book, that Ways to be alone that earned him the Prix Adonais, to offer readers the new title of Eloy Sanchez Rosillo, Hear light, which comes at the moment of greatest fulfillment of a long, Brilliant and highly recognized. We are faced with a capital of the books of his author. It is, of course, the most extensive and varied, and perhaps the most serene as you intense and deep-in written by Sanchez Rosillo to date. In its pages are transparency, accuracy and other elements antirretrica unique and unmistakable of the poet's work under a different...

Un vago escalofrío

“Los poemas de Francisco José Cruz, generalmente pequeños, con rimas asonantes, distribuidos en estrofas, tienen una estructura muy sólida, bien pensada. Cada poema de Francisco José Cruz, de igual manera, aspira a ser uno, con contornos, con rasgos, con una ley y una manera de ser. Me asombra en esta poesía su capacidad para darnos un mundo complejo y poblado, con seres que se pueden individualizar, al mismo tiempo que son productos de una perseverancia en la verdad que rechaza sin contemplaciones la mentira: los versos de Francisco José Cruz nos sueltan verdades muy fuertes, justo...

Algún día llegaremos a la luna

Algún día llegaremos a la luna obtuvo el Premio de la Academia Castellano Leonesa de la Poesía destinado a Jóvenes Creadores 2007. El jurado destacó que se trataba de una obra “muy particular” por el uso que hace de la metáfora, la palabra y las expresiones, por su frescura y porque “encaja perfectamente con la seriedad poética y con la ironía que debe subyacer en toda poesía”.
