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.

Un amor para toda la vida

Este es un abecedario de letras e ilustraciones, un abecedario del amor, algo básico. Porque el amor es básico. Y transparente. Pero el amor claro y fuerte como un rayo, con el tiempo empieza a complicarse, a confundirse, a mezclarse y llenarse de vicios, costumbres y rutinas.Aquí van unas cuantas historias de amor: del bueno y del malo. Del amor vivo y del muerto. Cualquier parecido con la realidad es lógico. Al final somos hermanos, hijos de Adán y de Eva.

Los Planetas de Holst

Es ésta la segunda edición de "Los Planetas de Holst" en esta ocasión cuenta con el prólogo del poeta Fernando López Guisado del que extraemos: "El lector encontrará una apuesta lírica valiente, plural y compacta. Toma como referencia la famosa suite de siete movimientos del compositor Gustav Holst y captura la magia de esta pieza para gran orquesta; transmuta en verso sus elementos más significativos, en un homenaje contemporáneo y profundamente personal. "

Tulipanes en el aire

Tulipanes en el aire es un breve recorrido por la intimidad de la pluma que gestó estos poemas. Retrata un proceso de autodescubrimiento a través de vivencias cotidianas, reflexiones y una incansable tarea de interrogarse sobre la propia identidad, desde la aceptación y el reconocimiento de ser un proyecto por terminar, un "yo" en proceso de crecimiento. La potencia de lo femenino acompaña y envuelve esta acción de debatir consigo misma, guiada por ese deseo de ser incorrecta y amoral, mientras se reivindica el derecho a decidir hasta la propia muerte. En este libro, las lectoras y los...
