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.

"This book examines the work of Guillermo Carnero, one of Spain's most important contemporary poets, in the context of the critical theories developed in the West after World War II that inform all of Carnero's writing." "Previous critical studies have tried to link Carnero's poetry to that of other novisimo poets within the narrow confines of Spanish poetics and literary history. This study seeks to move beyond the limiting perspective of the Spanish generational paradigm."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

María Mercedes Carranza. Poesía completa

Lumen publica la obra completa de María Mercedes Carranza, una de las poetas más importantes del siglo XX en Colombia. En este libro el lector encontrará toda la obra de María Mercedes Carranza, desde su primer poemario Vainas y otros poemas (1973), hasta cinco poemas inéditos del que hubiera sido su último libro, Los placeres verdaderos. Su obra poética nos sorprende porque consigue hablar con las palabras precisas de la vida cotidiana, del amor y el desamor, de la soledad y de la muerte, pero sobre todo por la voz rebelde y a la vez profundamente humana con la que escribió sobre la...

Un Paisaje

La luz se apaga, la conciencia permanece alerta y quien vaga a través del espacio lo hace también a través del tiempo: el aire está saturado de pasado, hay una triste densidad espectral. Las manos que tantean en la oscuridad giran en el aire como las agujas de un reloj. Pero, en virtud de un terror onírico muy propio de los poemas de José Carlos Rosales (Granada, 1952), esas manos no logran toparse con nada. Las cosas se acurrucan, evitan el contacto. La habitación no solo está a oscuras: está vacía. Como en ella, las palabras cruzan el resto de estos poemas donde el espacio ha...
