Book excerpt: Nuevamente estoy aquí, presentándoles mi segunda producción literaria. Soy Migdalia Rodríguez Ríos, puertorriqueña radicada en Florida, Estados Unidos de América, me desempeño en el campo de la salud, tengo varios pasatiempos favoritos tales como, leer, escribir, la música y la jardinería. Después de haber publicado mi primer libro de poemas titulado Sueños y Esencias en Octubre del 2011, colección de temas más emocionales, configurados desde una edad muy temprana, no tenía decidido seguir escribiendo para publicar otro libro. Sin embargo la decisión se presentó automática ya que luego de salir publicado el libro, mi mejor amiga, me regaló una libreta muy bonita y curiosa, me gustó tanto, que abrirla y comenzar a escribir fue la misma acción. En ella se encuentra esta nueva colección de poemas, Inmensidad. Este libro es más jocoso y variado, hay más madurez al escribir. Desde el punto de vista del autor hay crítica social, escritos dedicados a la naturaleza, historias verdaderas narradas en poesía no sólo de experiencias del autor, sino también historias narradas por otros, mayormente escritos en primera persona. Me gusta el verso libre, pero también la rima se encuentra en mi poesía. Espero disfruten este nuevo trabajo que con la bendición de mi padre desde el cielo, me enorgullece compartir con los amantes de la poesía, familiares y amigos. Aquí, mi palabra escrita una vez más.

The poems are a celebration of culture, tradition, and creativity that navigates themes of love, solidarity, and political transformation.

Poems addressed to talented and influential women such as Gwendolyn Brooks and Adrienne Rich, among others, pour gratitude and recognition into the collection.

Download or read book Ausente en busca de s written by Gabriela Coronado and published by CopIt ArXives. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro es el resultado de un experimento al que la autora llama metafóricamente simbiogénesis poética. Esta metáfora representa el proceso de diálogo entre las imágenes y las palabras que se agolpaban tratando de descifrar el momento en que ella se encontraba, entre dos lugares y dos lenguas que son entrañablemente suyas. A veces los poemas nacieron recorriendo las calles con una cámara o un teléfono mientras intentaba descubrir la mirada. Otras surgieron mientras caminaba al lado del río cuando iba al pan, o entre calles explorando nuevos lugares. Sin pensarlo, mientras regresaba a casa en el camión y estaba ahı́ haciendo nada –ensimismada con sus propios pensamientos– las palabras e imágenes se agolpaban urgiéndola a escribir aunque fuera en el teléfono. En este libro, Gabriela Coronado nos entrega una serie de fotografías y poemas intimistas entrelazados al grado de --algunas veces-- ser indistinguibles entre sí. Imágenes y palabras en fusión, en reflexión, en búsqueda permanente.

Download or read book Dissonances of Modernity written by Irene Gómez-Castellano and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dissonances of Modernity illuminates the ways in which music, as an artifact, a practice, and a discourse redefines established political, social, gender, and cultural conventions in Modern Spain. Using the notion of dissonance as a point of departure, the volume builds on the insightful approaches to the study of music and society offered by previous analyses in regards to the central position they give to identity as a socially and historically constructed concept, and continues their investigation on the interdependence of music and society in the Iberian Peninsula. While other serious studies of the intersections of music and literature in Spain have focused on contemporary usage, Dissonances of Modernity looks back across the centuries, seeking the role of music in the very formation of identity in the peninsula. The volume's historical horizon reaches from the nineteenth-century War of Africa to the Catalan working class revolutions and Enric Granados' central role in Catalan identity; from Francisco Barbieri's Madrid to the Wagnerian's influence in Benito Perez Galdos' prose; and from the predicaments surrounding national anthems to the use of the figure of Carmen in Francoist' cinema. This volume is a timely scholarly addition that contemplates not only a broad corpus that innovatively comprises popular and high culture--zarzuelas, choruses of industrial workers, opera, national anthems--but also their inter-dependence in the artists' creativity.

Download or read book Mexico in Verse written by Stephen Neufeld and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2015-03-26 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Mexico is spoken in the voice of ordinary people. In rhymed verse and mariachi song, in letters of romance and whispered words in the cantina, the heart and soul of a nation is revealed in all its intimacy and authenticity. Mexico in Verse, edited by Stephen Neufeld and Michael Matthews, examines Mexican history through its poetry and music, the spoken and the written word. Focusing on modern Mexico, from 1840 to the 1980s, this volume examines the cultural venues in which people articulated their understanding of the social, political, and economic change they witnessed taking place during times of tremendous upheaval, such as the Mexican-American War, the Porfiriato, and the Mexican Revolution. The words of diverse peoples—people of the street, of the field, of the cantinas—reveal the development of the modern nation. Neufeld and Matthews have chosen sources so far unexplored by Mexicanist scholars in order to investigate the ways that individuals interpreted—whether resisting or reinforcing—official narratives about formative historical moments. The contributors offer new research that reveals how different social groups interpreted and understood the Mexican experience. The collected essays cover a wide range of topics: military life, railroad accidents, religious upheaval, children’s literature, alcohol consumption, and the 1985 earthquake. Each chapter provides a translated song or poem that encourages readers to participate in the interpretive practice of historical research and cultural scholarship. In this regard, Mexico in Verse serves both as a volume of collected essays and as a classroom-ready primary document reader.
