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.

Nuevas poesías

Este nuevo libro de Ignacio Para supone, ante todo, un canto a la vida. Enlaza sonetos, retazos y canciones compartiendo con lector un sinfín de sensaciones. Invocando lo genuino como respuesta resiliente a la complejidad de una sociedad en la que escuchamos cada vez menos, en especial a nosotros mismos. Nos asoma al balcón amable de las emociones humanas, a una visión regeneradora y genuina de lo cotidiano, a un sano ejercicio de evasión. Implica bucear en una sociedad que parece sin brújula, pero que encierra personas y paisajes maravillosos.

Los ángeles también lloran

"Esta es la fórmula poética más característica y al mismo tiempo más completa de Maria Teodora Miclea. Su secreto no está en la metáfora sino en el ritmo. Un ritmo especial, interior, que da sentido a todo lo afirmado anteriormente y que Maria demuestra dominar sorprendentemente bien. Es lo que lleva imperceptiblemente, pero también inevitablemente, hacia un significado profundo. Este ritmo, esta cadencia, se repite en casi todos los poemas, pero no como signo de pobreza sino como indicador de un muy definido estilo propio". Prof. Dra. Ileana Bucurenciu Con sobriedad y creativas...

Santo y seña

En este libro, la poeta vuelve a indagar en sus temas recurrentes: la viva representación de las yertas imágenes de su infancia, el viaje corporal por el paisaje del espíritu, el desamparo natural del hombre, la soledad en llamas de la inteligencia. No obstante, en esta ocasión, López Colomé agudiza su mirada y capta momentos epifánicos a través de la lengua. Sobre este poemario, Hernán Bravo Varela ha escrito: "Basta el santo y seña para que una puerta se abra. Sin embargo, el santo y seña pide una presencia detrás de las palabras proferidas. Pura López Colomé ha concebido la...
