Resumen 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.

Libro Concave Mirrors / Espejos Concavos

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...

Alas vividas

Libro Alas vividas

Recopilación poética de la obra de Alberto Escabias Ampuero. Alberto Escabias Ampuero, ataviado manifiestamente de Ícaro y disfrazado tácitamente de Caronte, busca conducirnos a todos no por las aguas del Hades, sino por las corrientes del aire que atraviesan, como una saeta tranquila, la distancia que va desde el cielo de Madrid hasta el cielo de Málaga y viceversa, puesto que el viaje iniciático es, sin duda, de ida y vuelta, aunque nunca regrese idéntico aquel que partió de su peregrinatio vitae.

Versos breves sobre la muerte

Libro Versos breves sobre la muerte

Falta poco en la vida siempre está cerca el final tenemos una partida es bueno eso recordar. Vivimos sin darnos cuenta que tenemos que partir es por eso por lo que se hace lenta o corre, corre hasta el fin. Nuestra vida es aun una gran desconocida pocos años aquí tenemos pero esa no es la vida. Un día de aquí nos vamos eso seguro que es y cuando de aquí partamos ¿Que nos espera después? AMOR Translator: Juan Moisés De La Serna PUBLISHER: TEKTIME
