Download or read book Caribbean Poet written by Luis S. Gonzalez-Acevedo and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-16 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caribbean Poet represents four decades of poetic writing with many frequent and extended periods of silence -the poetic thoughts of a boy, an adolescent and adult. The poems highlight my experiences in the Caribbean and the world. Caribbean Poet considers the following themes: fantasy, love & sensuality, death, gothic images, magic & dark arts, patriotism, peace, politics, immigration & migration, human rights, language, friendship, time, family, philosophy, Christmas, graduation, poets & poetry, the United States, Ireland, England -Stonehenge, Mexico -Aztecs, Puerto Rico and Latin America. Like my countryman Manuel A. Alonso, I ask that you receive my poems as the product of many hours stolen from sleep, studies and work. Please judge them with benevolence. Poetic Translations & Creative Modifications: Spanish to English The poems in the second part of the book constitute what is still in existence -what remains- from my earlier work. The whims of a temperamental poet are to blame. They were translated, and sometimes modified, from my collection titled Poemas Caribenos. I personally translated and/or modified each poem from Spanish to English. I attempted to salvage much of the syntax and verse construction of the Spanish poems -as much as English would allow. At times, I let inspiration have its way. For this blatant linguistic crime, please accept an apology. I must admit that the sincerity of my apology is highly questionable; but this trait is not so grave as to be unforgivable. As I began the process of translation, I sometimes strayed and ventured into the realm of creative modification. Thus, some verses are a version or nuance of the Spanish lines, not literal translations. The poems' Spanish origins and traits can make some poems an awkward read, some more than others; but this allows readers to experience some of their authentic, Spanish-language essence. For your information, the original Spanish titles of the poems appear in parentheses below the English titles. Please understand that much is lost when translating or modifying poems from their original language to another -from wordplay to rhyme, structure, smoothness, tightness and beauty. Some of these poems were written when I was an adolescent or young adult; and naturally, they may reflect it. They were poems written in a different world, at a different time, and for a more limited audience. Now that you're on notice... I hope you enjoy my poems -if not for their potential beauty, then for my humble attempt at art. Luis S. Gonzalez-Acevedo

Download or read book Transversal written by Urayoán Noel and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transversal takes a disruptive approach to poetic translation, opening up alternative ways of reading as poems get translated or transcreated into entirely new pieces. In this collection, Urayoán Noel masterfully examines his native Puerto Rico and the broader Caribbean as sites of transversal poetics and politics. Featuring Noel’s bilingual playfulness, intellect, and irreverent political imagination, Transversal contains personal reflections on love, desire, and loss filtered through a queer approach to form, expanding upon Noel’s experiments with self-translation in his celebrated collection Buzzing Hemisphere/Rumor Hemisférico. This collection explores walking poems improvised on a smartphone, as well as remixed classical and experimental forms. Poems are presented in interlocking bilingual versions that complicate the relationship between translation and original, and between English and Spanish as languages of empire and popular struggle. The book creatively examines translation and its simultaneous urgency and impossibility in a time of global crisis. Transversal seeks to disrupt standard English and Spanish, and it celebrates the nonequivalence between languages. Inspired by Caribbean poet and philosopher Édouard Glissant, the collection celebrates Caribbean practices of creolization as maximalist, people-centered, affect-loaded responses to the top-down violence of austerity politics. This groundbreaking, modular approach to poetic translation opens up alternative ways of reading in any language.
Download or read book The Sea Needs No Ornament El Mar No Necesita Ornamento written by KLOBAH and published by Peepal Tree Press. This book was released on 2020-06-18 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty-three poets from the English and Spanish-speaking Caribbean offer poems in a variety of forms and styles - from free verse, formal, experimental, and exuberant to minimalist - employing a range of language registers, including borrowings from children's ring games to blues rhythms. They speak in equally varied voices: lyrical, ironic, incensed, carnivalesque, meditative, and transgressive. Poems range over all aspects of women's lives, from childhoods of joy or sorrow, relationships with men and women, motherhood, elder years, as part of collectivities or in solitude. Poems focus on the female body as a source of self-knowledge, pleasure, strength, blood, invasion, and sometimes abuse. As Caribbean women, these poets scrutinize their places in the region's history and geography, including the intergenerational impact of migration; they celebrate or cast a critical eye over its spiritual traditions; decry the inequalities of class, race, gender, and sexuality; observe the region's abundance of flora, fauna and supernatural beings; and lament the catastrophic natural forces of earthquake, flood and hurricane that have battered its peoples, who yet search for new ways to revive and move forward. As Ilya Kaminsky writes: "This book gives us some of the most passionate and insightful writing around, in any language... as I look at the translated voices here I am both moved and transformed by the ways they seem to address the devastation of the present moment... Spanish-speaking poets are presented with wonderful English-language poets. The result is a first-rate conversation between poetics, a marvel."
