POEMAS DE LA BAILARINA (JOSÉ VICENTE CARMONA SIMARRO)

Me gustaría justificar el por qué he empezado a escribir aspectos de mi vida pasada ?pues no pretendo hacer una biografía? pero en estos momentos no lo sé, ha sido algo instintivo, sí. Así pues, voy a inventarme algunas razones por las cuales un hombre de mediana edad, se decide a escribir de sí mismo, sin ser mediático, podría ser por vender mis memorias, en tal caso. Los entendidos de la materia dirían que es un proceso de catarsis, algo terapéutico, algo que necesito hacer sí o sí. Sin embargo, mi justificación favorita llega más allá, escribo pues quizá un día pierda la memoria y mi descendencia pueda saber algo más de mí. Cosas que no se cuentan en vida pero que son parte de ella.

OUT OF DELMARVA (KAMARAT, CARY)

The Delmarva Peninsula is the point of departure for a richly visual and tactile world full of seaside ?fantasy, hopes and fears--human and animal, resident and transitory.? We may glimpse vacationers and their footprints in the sand, but only as a small part of the mosaic.? Text in verse is interspersed with black and white photo-poems, bringing us on a journey through the region and beyond.? The work is rooted in genuine maritime salt, and there is a collective memory of heritage and aspirations rendered in a very distinctive literary voice. ? ?

ELEMENTAL (THOMPSON-SLAUGHTER, DENISE)

Active verbs drip from the pages of this collection, treating the reader to expert English poetics. Allusions to canonical literature smile at the reader and second the expertise of the poet. Thompson-Slaughter reveals her proficiency with many styles of formal poetry, yet she shines most in her open-form pieces, through which honesty speaks loudest." Sueann Wells Author of Awake Before Dawn and Midnight Summons Editor of Mother Muse "Denise Thompson-Slaughter's poems celebrate the sound and sense of those elements that form an authentic life, that make us both beast and believer, bound to this world and yet longing for the heavens. In Elemental, she puts her 'best ear forward/And what I hear...makes my heart...blaze in its dark cage'; and we don't mind inhabiting that imagination, even when 'death arrives in a cloak as kind as silk/where we had expected sack cloth.' With careful attention to her perceived world, she gives us a 'focus o
