Poesía

Querido lector o lectora: Remedando a Cela en su Viaje a la Alcarria, toma la mochila de este poemario y el bastón de su lírica y déjate acompañar unos días por el poeta Manuel Aparicio. Él te llevará gozoso por la Tierra de Campos, desgranándote su historia, mejor su intrahistoria, cuajada de sensaciones, sentimientos y recuerdos de un pasado memorable y un presente inédito, por descubrir. Este ramillete de poemas se cierra con el espléndido soneto «Castilla», colofón poético y síntesis de esta tierra, suelo patrio que nadie puede perderse en cualesquiera de las estaciones del año, porque según cantan sus versos: «encontrarás fuentes y frescura en Primavera; sombras en las veredas del Verano; cromáticos paisajes y cielos en Otoño; y en las nieves de Invierno, recogimiento en dulce misticismo».

? This breathtaking collection of poetry inlaid with original artwork reminds us to be open to the daily beauty that surrounds us and to embrace what emerges from within. Katharine Stone Ayers invites us to embrace each moment as it arises, whether filled with pain, despair, frustration, compassion, love or delight.? She tells us that we can learn how to drop our conditioning, assumptions, old beliefs and concepts. Over time, we can move towards greater joy, love and freedom. By choosing to become less distracted by our outer world and open to our inner world, we can move towards love, clarity, aliveness, joy and Presence. Allowing ourselves to become curious and explore what emerges moment to moment, it is possible, over time, to open to the Mystery and our true and authentic nature. Her transformational story beckons us to our own beautiful opening.

Poetry collection by Yesenia Montilla, a New York City poet with Afro-Caribbean roots and CantoMundo Fellow.? "The Pink Box has been waiting for us. It has been waiting for our ears to see these poems, for our eyes to listen to them. Yesenia Montilla?s poems cross fertilize space and time; linking the wilderness, the city, and an otherworld like a subway ride from uptown to downtown, cross town and back. Along the way, we don?t just switch trains, we switch stations of desire: the Dominican Republic is the blues, Ayiti/Haiti is jazz, hip hop is abuelita. New York City begins on Hispaniola. Is it longing we hear? Or is it the crash of one island against another? ?Yes, there is yearning in these poems; for touch, for visibility, for a tongue not forgotten though not spoken, for bachata and merengue. And there is spirit; something unseen, called forth, like Dominican Gaga rooted in the bateyes, the sugar cane fields, of memory. Not only does Yesenia Montilla make a weaving of magic in these remarkable and tender poems, magic is its own holiness here." ~Alexis De Veaux, author of Warrior Poet: A Biography of Au

PREMI DE POESIA IBN JAFADJA Imatge tènue que al sospir convida, somriure tímid que convoca al gaudi, petita història que em guardava sempre sense temences. No sé com dir-te la valor immensa, la companyia que restà aturada, en petits tràngols i malures noves, entre rondalles.

Poetry, as it's defined in the modern dictionary, is a literary work in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm. The definition is pretty accurate. The written word when by itself is simple, and sometimes holds no meaning whatsoever, but when certain words are grouped together, it can be magical. The beauty of poetry is that for every reader, the meaning may be completely different. Poetry more so than other forms of writing, allows the reader to escape, to relate their own experiences to the words the writer has bled onto the page. Readers connect to the poet and on some level the two become intimate partners, even if for a short time. Our hearts and minds always seem to be at odds with each other. It's an endless struggle of thoughts and feelings. Timeless Chatter Between the Heart and Mind is a collection of over 200 select pieces of poetry and prose by New York author and poet Jay Long that seems to capture the beauty and sadness of love, life and loss.



?Poetry is one of the oldest, most widespread and yet most secret means of renewal known to human culture. It is the most essential way of prizing single words and the immemorial heritage that is language. With poetry, science and magic are mixed; we put runes under a microscope. A poem is a fish that has swallowed a ring of many meanings, leaping from the belly of a lake to flash for an instant in the sun. ?In recent years, I have found myself drawn to the Japanese tanka form, and have developed my own version of it, in English, through practice rather than theory. I say ?my own version? not as a boast, but as a disclaimer; as a disclaimer and not as an apology. I would say I ?attempted? to develop my own version, except that, in being something worked out in the doing, it has been entirely natural to me. The new form combines a discovery of small mental and emotional specimens, like shells on the mind?s shoreline, with a stylistic means of presenting such natural and serendipitous finds as aphorism, memento, meditation and so on. ?In 2015, I decided that for the month of September, I would write, upon wa
