Book excerpt: La obra poética y en prosa de Nela Río abarca los más disímiles temas. En sus trabajos esta escritora viaja de lo social a lo más íntimo, sin hacer exclusiones. Pareciera ser que todos los temas de la vida la inspiran. Por eso nos encontramos de su firma vivencias sobre sexualidad y amor, enfermedad y envejecimiento, mitos y realidades, represión política y social. La mujer, eso sí, se ubica siempre en el centro de su atención artística. Pese a la violencia de contenido que casi siempre ocupa en su lenguaje, las creaciones de esta mujer aparecen siempre cargadas de ternura, amor y solidaridad. Sus poemas, en particular, son un canto a la vida en tono de celebración definitivamente. Esta selección de trabajos suyos reafirma la tesis. En toda ella se ocupan metáforas para cantarle a la vida.

This book was released on 2019-10-03 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays examines how the sense of crisis that occasionally seems to overwhelm us directs and transforms Canadian and Quebec writings in English and French, and conversely, how literature and criticism set out to counterbalance the social, economic, and ideological insecurities we live in. Ce recueil de textes étudie les manières dont le sentiment de crise qui peut parfois sembler nous submerger, oriente et transforme les écrits canadiens et québécois d’expressions anglaise et française, et inversement, comment la littérature et la critique s’efforcent de contrebalancer les insécurités sociales, économiques et idéologiques dans lesquelles nous vivons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exciting new collection of poems by “one of the Spanish-speaking world’s greatest living writers” (LA Review of Books) Self-Portrait in the Zone of Silence, by the renowned Mexican writer Homero Aridjis, is a brilliant collection of poems written in and for the new century. Aridjis seeks spiritual transformation through encounters with mythical animals, family ghosts, migrant workers, Mexico’s oppressed, female saints, other writers (such as Jorge Luis Borges and Philip Lamantia), and naked angels in the metro. We find tributes to Goya and Heraclitus, denunciations of drug traffickers and political figureheads, and unforgettable imaginary landscapes. As Aridjis himself writes: “a poem is like a door / we’ve never passed through...” And now past eighty, Aridjis reflects on the past and ponders the future. “Surrounded by light and the warbling of birds,” he writes, “I live in a state of poetry, because for me, being and making poetry are the same.”

Download or read book Versos en Matices written by Maria Aduke Alabi and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Versos en Matices es una compilación de poemas, unidos por el concurso de su propia diversidad, los que debido a las diferentes tonalidades subscritas en la vida misma se plasman de forma que abarcan cada una de ellas, con un carácter propio, con estilo y con una cualidad peculiar y especial que se distingue por sus matices, los que transforman letras en sensaciones. Esta colección de poemas colorativos es una luz que se descompone en rayos cada uno con un matiz diferente en vías de reflejar en otros, ya sea por armonía o contraste la combinación perfecta de sensaciones, música, pasiones, recuerdos y sentimientos. Espero con cada verso producir una impresión en el sensorio individual del lector que sea desatada mediante la luz propia que se refleja como rayo rebosante de sensibilidades, dejar sentir la vibración emergente de sus ondas líricas y que estas envuelvan y seduzcan almas con sus cantares rítmicos o arrítmicos, que construyan en la imaginación con fiel apego los colores reflejados por su espectro. El conjunto cromático armónico de esta colección es detallada a continuación para el mejor entendimiento del contenido y la intensión que detallan cada una de sus matices: GRIS Es el símbolo cromático que representa los versos que se identifican con el infortunio, la melancolía, el dolor y el sufrimiento. También representa el desconsuelo. En este caso el poeta utiliza los versos grises dentro del poemario para dar cabida a estos sentires. ROSADO El color rosado en este poemario es símbolo del amor de pareja, el amor puro como sentimiento no como acto. También se utiliza para denotar cariño y respeto. El amor es normalmente representado por el color rojo pero el poeta prefirió separar ambas simbologías en dos tonalidades diferentes. ROJO El rojo por su tonalidad ardiente se destaca dentro de la escala cromática como violencia, pero no es representativo en este poemario. En esta colección este color representa la pasión arrolladora, representados mediante poemas eróticos y pasionales, aquellos en los que tiene lugar el contacto físico entre un hombre y una mujer, narrados de una forma que presentan lo dicho en un plano simbólico incorporando la realidad del acto en cuestión. AMARILLO Es un símbolo cromático que señala la muerte, pero en este poemario representa el cambio (muerte y nacimiento) la transformación, la mutación, la evolución. El amarillo es el elemento ideal para transportar lo malo de su vida hacia algo positivo y más deseado. PURPURA Generalmente el color purpura o violeta ha tenido su representación simbólica dentro de la religión y la espiritualidad con un valor litúrgico poderoso. Es un color frio y muy delicado y de signo idealista que tradicionalmente ha sido símbolo de espiritualidad. El violeta como símbolo cromático representa exactamente eso en esta obra: espiritualidad, sublimación, pasión por lo desconocido. Presenta una imagen netamente subjetiva y mística. VERDE El color verde no es utilizado nominalmente como representación de cosas verdes, más bien como color polifacético la simbología dada en este poemario la relaciona con la creación artística, la inspiración, la fertilidad mental, la naturaleza del pensamiento, la fecundidad de las ideas y simbólicamente representa la capacidad literaria y la creación inusual. AZUL Este color es un símbolo cromático utilizado en la obra como representación del idealismo patriótico, nacionalismo y amor al pueblo de origen. La luz que se desprende del azul, la vemos resplandecer clara e iluminada en identificación con los más altos ideales. NEGRO Este color tradicionalmente ha sido símbolo de oscuridad o maldad, pero esa representación simbólica no tiene cabida en este poemario. El negro aquí representa a una cultura, a una raza, un linaje, una proced

Download or read book Sexy Bodies written by Elizabeth Grosz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are bodies sexy? How? In what sorts of ways? Sexy Bodies investigates the production of sexual bodies and sexual practices, of sexualities which are dyke, bi, transracial, and even hetero. It celebrates lesbian and queer sexualities but also explores what runs underneath and within all sexualities, discovering what is fundamentally weird and strange about all bodies, all carnalities. Looking at a pleasurable variety of cultural forms and texts, the contributors consider the particular charms of girls and horses, from National Velvet to Marnie; discuss figures of the lesbian body from vampires to tribades to tomboys; uncover 'virtual' lesbians in the fiction of Jeanette Winterson; track desire in the music of legendary Blues singers; and investigate the ever-scrutinised and celebrated body of Elizabeth Taylor. The collection includes two important pieces of fiction by Mary Fallon and Nicole Brossard. Sexy Bodies makes new connections between and amongst bodies, cruising the borders of the obscene, the pleasurable, the desirable and the hitherto unspoken rethinking sexuality anew as deeply and strangely sexy.

Download or read book To Kill a Cockroach written by Osvaldo Calixto Amador and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-21 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Osvaldito’s life begins with a heartbreaking split when his father is not allowed to leave Cuba with his mother and him due to his status as a political prisoner. Later, abuse, the fear of being different, the discovery of his own homosexuality, the devastation of AIDS, and difficult family relationships mark the milestones of his journey. His dogs, his four-legged companions, always occupy a prominent place in the house of La Campina, the kingdom and refuge of the adult Osvaldito. To Kill a Cockroach is a poignant story that chronicles the experiences of Osvaldito, a Cuban-American artist and writer, traveling from his native Cuba through to his childhood and adulthood experiences in Miami, Florida. Osvaldito provides a unique perspective of the immigrant experience, as he narrates a childhood rife with challenges and loss, uncertainty and abandonment. His life journey teaches us the art of finding boundless joy in a world of relentless pain. Osvaldito’s love and longing for his mother, a “Cuban goddess,” is one of the guiding themes of this book, but so is his love of living creatures, especially dogs, and how such love saves in difficult times. Last but not least, this tale is a testament to the power of art and literature and of finding salvation and self-love through the transcendence of artistic beauty.
