11743) Planetas habitables
Author
Description
Cada lector es un mundo y, si ponemos la atención suficiente, lo es también todo ente que lo rodea: el sillón que lo sostiene, la lámpara que alumbra su lectura, el libro que tiene entre sus manos, el nematócero diminuto que sobrevuela su cabeza. Entre cada uno de estos mundos tiene lugar un intercambio incesante, una economía afectiva y material que los transforma. Hay entre ellos, incluso, encuentros de una violencia tal que podemos pensarlos...

Description
La poeta cubana Juana Borrero (1877-1896) murió con solo dieciocho años. Sus poemas, sensuales, melancólicos y dolientes, asombran por la insólita precocidad de su autora y por el halo de misterio que los envuelve.
Juana abrazó tanto la poesía como la pintura de manera precoz. Entre los cinco y siete años de edad realiza, de manera espontánea, sus primeros dibujos y poemas. A los doce años escribió los sonetos Las hijas del Ran y Apolo,...

This collaboration between Barry Louis Polisar and illustrator David Clark is a long awaited sequel to Barry's three earlier collections of poems, Peculiar Zoo, Curious Creatures and Insect Soup. This time the poems are about creatures that live in–or by–the water and many of the poems work on multiple levels. Polisar writes about everything from the Pot Bellied Sea Horse to the Sweetlips Fish; the poems are smart and fun. The book ends with a...

The gorgeous poems of Michael T. Young's The Infinite Doctrine of Water offer the rewards of deep reflection. The poet's sharp eye and attentive ear capture the delicate light and shadow of urban life and personal memory. New York and Jersey City provide the backdrop for subtle yet incisive meditations, as when "Devotional" portrays the Belt Parkway's approach to the Verrazano Bridge through a vivid moment of grace, where "ranks of waves / wear breakers...

It's taken me a long time to love every color, even the gray and the dark. I welcome the infusions of momentum, the bursts of variations, and the medley mix of all the avenues to endless possibilities.
When you read this book, I hope it moves you.
I hope it infuses you with a passion to ignite that flame in your heart and step into your skin, embracing all of you.

Introducción Sali del éxtasis y caminé hacia el infinito Pasando arboledas y constelaciones voluptuosas. Aprendí el dialecto estelar y hablé con la tierra protuberante Y sus raíces gramaticales. Aprendí la división irracional del universo Y la multiplicación de las estrellas. Cada día y cada noche sobre mis pasos quedaban Las huellas luminosas de mis manos y mis huesos. Ami derecha: el Homo Sapiens Ami izquierda: Copérnico y las nuevas...

11753) La poesía inteligente
Author
Description
¿Que me inspiró a escribir este libro? El amor al prójimo, ¿por qué?, hace muchos años leí un Proverbio que dice, "Hay un camino que al hombre le parece correcto, pero al final, lleva a la muerte" (Proverbios 16:25). Y hoy vivimos en un mundo, donde todo parece indicar que reina la mentira, el engaño, y la confusión. Y muchos se preguntan cada día, ¿qué camino tomaré? o, ¿qué decisión haré? Mi poesía quiere indicarte que uses tu...

Much can be learned about a people by the language they use, but what can be said of the letters of that language? This playful treatise on the English alphabet explores the art and philosophy of some letters as they gained form in one artist's eye and expression in the language of a wondering wordsmith....

Una antología que examina con lupa la vida que se deja en cada verso, los pasos recogidos de Ciudadela; el dolor de saberse Lobo, la Magia corriente que produce la cotidianidad, la entrega no razonada de realizar Oficios tristes, los responsos no solicitados a los poemas más hirientes. Miguel Maldonado recita los versos que a fuerza de vivir, le fueron arrancados, con la esperanza de que también, alguien le conteste.
