Dear Ramon, I had thought to be buried together on the old farm, beneath the cottonwoods, but her divorce attorney came between us in ways difficult for a sensative man to ignore: I found a can of beer back there on the floor & saved it for you--it's still cold. pull up a chair & incline your shapley ear to this collaborative & musical resinging of the world's oldest song.

La figura de Federico Garc?a Lorca (Fuente Vaqueros 1898) es sin duda una de las m?s destacadas y famosas de la literatura, no solo en Espa?a sino en todo el universo literario. Su obra e influencia no se limita a su creaci?n po?tica; abarca piezas teatrales (como La casa de Bernarda Alba) y militancia cultural con la rebeld?a de su vida, desconstruyendo las est?ticas tradicionales, las pinturas del realismo, ciertas normativas sexuales y las corrientes socio-pol?ticas con cambios revolucionarios. Pablo Neruda, refiri?ndose a Garc?a Lorca, escribi? que ?desde Lope de Vega no se ha conocido en lengua espa?ola una seducci?n popular tan inmensa dirigida a un poeta?. Su poes?a ha sido traducida a much?simos idiomas y su lectura, representaciones, contin?a presente conquistando el paso del tiempo y los caprichos de las modas. A lo que se acopla la relevancia de sus viajes por las Am?ricas, y especialmente su estad?a en Nueva York donde compuso Poeta en Nueva York? (que ?l mismo afirma deber?a haberse titulado ?Nueva York en un poeta?) porque encarna y proclama su experiencia del pa?s estadounidense con la energ?a

Una vida en verso que leerás con el corazón Este libro es un viaje a lo desconocido hasta el interior de nosotros mismos. La poesía que contiene es Ignacia, su vivir: como ama, sufre, se emociona, como se levanta cuando parece derrotada y triunfa. Es pararse a contemplar sentado las inquietudes de una vida. Reflexionar los hechos del pasado y del presente de una historia de interminables esquinas. Ignacia empieza a escribir versos con apenas siete años. Es el regalo que una niña hace a su madre, recién fallecida el 6 de enero de 1935. Ya no podrá parar de expresar sus sentimientos y emociones de la mejor manera posible. Este libro es un hijo criado con ternura y amor que ha ido creciendo poco a poco con los años. Se puede ver que ha madurado, se ha hecho mayor. Los versos se iban sumando en forma de sueños, volaban por la cabeza de su inventora haciéndola cosquillas para salir. Así hasta que al fin eran muchos y podían entre todos contar algo, su paso por la vida. Todo estaba allí. Ha tardado 91 años en conseguirlo. Será una huella del pasado de una mujer manchega, que pondrá ilusión en tu presente. Cien poemas con esperanza y amor de Ignacia Laguna López.

Cuando en una existencia de color claro, cae una losa y la convierte en negro. En esta obra el autor, a modo de paseo, pretende adentrarse con calma en la que denomina zona oscura del cáncer, por lo nueva y desconocida de la misma. A lo largo del libro nos narra cómo llevar consigo los daños colaterales de superar la enfermedad y la espada de Damócles en constante amenaza de caer de nuevo.

Martha Deborah Hall's Two Grains In Time is a journey from innocence through loss toward wisdom. These are poems of careful observation. The voice is direct, intimate, certain. The title poem refers to the narrator's identical twin sister and closest companion who predeceased her, but who she knows will be waiting for her at the end of her life with "a cup of tea in hand." All of the senses are sumptuously attended to in this rich first collection by a poet of mature sensibilities. Two Grains In Time is a poetry collection well worth all your time. Lana Hechtman Ayers, Publisher, Concrete Wolf Poetry Chapbook Series If for Stephen Spender the eye is a "delicate wanderer, / Drinker of horizon's fluid line," the eye in Martha Deborah Hall's poems drinks its fill in more intimate territory, closer to home, closer to the proverbial bone. Before a child on a swing embarks on her adventure, she notices that her father had set "galvanized bolts into the apple tree." When she comes back down to earth, the "Knots under the sides of the cherry plank seat" have kept their sturdy tension. As t

In Fountains for Orpheus, Audrey Rooney invites us to bring our artist eyes to the beauty-filled and bewildering scenes of her well-lived life. ?Come, Gardener,? she writes, and we are introduced to a world of violet skies, river deaths, and small talk. She?s a keen writer, wise and intelligent. Emotionally, she never strays far from her music or her man. Congratulations to Audrey for this delightful debut collection! ?Neil Chethik

Gray Jacobik?s The Banquet is a feast of opposites, a carnival of contraries. The highwire walker who has created such poems is perfectly balanced between heaven and earth. It is rare to encounter truth-saying that is so wholly sensual and philosophical, sexual and intellectual at the same breath-taking moment, so witty but also sober in its assessments, so utterly simple and complex. None have seen, smelled, tasted, heard and touched this world with greater love and accuracy than Gray Jacobik, while at the same time sensing the world of spirit with every ounce of her being. Most importantly, her poems are inherently moral in their visceral refusal to espouse conventional morality, their insistence on raising it to a higher level. You will find yourself singing as you emerge from this carnival of mind and body and spirit!
