9843) Between Dusk and Night
Author
Description
There are many journeys encompassed in the pages of this mature and well-crafted first collection; literal travels to different parts of the world, to Europe and Africa, are the outward manifestation of the inward quest, the asking of the old but still essential questions: What is real? What is true? What is honourable? What is right? Yet these questions are new in that the poet is deeply concerned with the need to find a new paradigm, a new way to...

9846) Tan humana que duele
Author
Description
¿Qué es la poesía? No sé si quiero definirla como lo hace el diccionario, porque despierta sentimientos tan fuertes en mí que una sola definición no alcanzaría para describirla en su totalidad. Yo creo que la poesía es fuego, es miedo, es pasión, y también es dolor. Me duelen mis cicatrices, las físicas y las emocionales, me duele lo que callé tanto tiempo y hoy, por fin, me animo a contar. Porque fue la poesía la que me arrimó un hombro,...

TAWNY KINGS IN LIMBO In the twilight and the twittering dawn My life goes flitting like a spotted fawn. A scent of something stalks the tall, dry grass The fragrance of the rainI come; I pass. Acacia thorn and zigzag lightning rend And scratch their whistling way into the wind. Ant-castles silhouette the fire-swept plains Where tawny kings in limbo shake their manes. The clouds collapse; musk mixes with the breeze. Birds dart into the hard-knot of...

Venart's poems show us a kind of courage that is quotidian. Surviving childhood, surviving failed love, finding solace in the self, and reinvigorating that self: this is the world Venart reveals to us, in all its prescient detail. A honest and lyrical first book.
9853) Either Side the Horizon
Author
Description
In Stephen's work to date, he has never relented in his attacks. His satirical work, of which there is a fair representation in Either Side The Horizon, lampoons not so much political figures as their methods and the institutional hypocrisy they have inherited. His favourite targets are those who say one thing while doing another, be they oil lords controlling the happiness and destinies of millions of families, or those appointed by an elite to govern...

Thus advised, the author disembarked in Algiers in 1976 to cross the Sahara and beyond. During this and on subsequent African journeys, he hitchhiked or took public transport: for example, riding atop a loaded Saharan truck, inside countless...
9857) La nave de Teseo
Author
Description
Alguna madrugada de pretéritos fantasmas desperté con la certeza de que estaba fragmentada. Rota. Yo había sido, y por demanda de mis actos, una mujer rota.
Se me perdonarán los tiempos y los verbos lapidarios si aclaro que un fragmento de mí me observaba desde el tipeado y a los pies de aquella cama. Gritar fue un acto de audacia inasible como la voz de ella que fue mía, llorar fue, acaso, otro.
Desde entonces y su cuerpo sobre el mío con...
