Download or read book Daughter of the Sun written by Carmen Sol Feliciano and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many poems in this book of poetry and a short story were motivated by past and present dreams that the author has transposed into words and two languages (English and Spanish). The author turned those dreams into poems and managed to introduce her culture, people from her old neighborhood, relationships, memories of loved ones, and love at its highest and lowest. It's a poetic journey giving the reader a taste of life with its twists and turns. The short (and only) story in the book, "Lila Archmon" is filled with descriptive words that takes the reader onto a dream-like passage of fantasy transporting them into the garden with Lila and her precious friends. The poem "Salsa" introduces the reader to a dance that has withstood the passage of time - it is certainly a "feast" for all. "Soy Boricua" expresses the pride of being Boricua and gives a history as to the roots of the Puerto Rican. The two poems (and title of the book) "Daughter of the Sun I and II" can be interpreted by the readers, as they desire. When various people were asked to give their meanings of the poems, the multitude and variety of renditions were astounding.
Download or read book Thoughts written by Jasser Membreno and published by Jasser Membreno. This book was released on 2015-03-27 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are surrounded by images in our daily life as never before. In Jasser Membreno's beautiful book,Pensamientos, he relieves our saturation from the dense mundane and lifts us into the heights of human imagination, on a masterful flight to the world of his unique imagery and abstract poetry. It is a journey through his surrealistic narrative without a narrative, with fantastical creatures--reawakening our imagination from the overexposed visual landscape of our bit-filled times to the thrilling recollection of the reality and absurdity of our dream worlds. He reminds us of the vastness of the human mind. On entering this universe you will often find yourself in two places at once, and equally as often in two languages at once. Translated from English into Spanish, laid side by side, Gloria Alvarez has kept the keen sonic sensibility present in Membreno's pointed poetry, at times coy, at times absurd.

Now an acclaimed reporter, Ojito tells her story and reckons with her past with all of the determination and intelligence—and the will to confront darkness—that carried her through the boatlift. In this stunning autobiography, she sets out to find the people who set this exodus in motion, including the Vietnam vet on whose boat, Mañana, she finally crossed the treacherous Florida Strait. In Finding Mañana, Ojito and tell the stories of the boatlift’s key players in superb and poignant detail—chronicling both individual lives and a major historical event.
Download or read book Mariposa de ala rota written by Marialva D. Az and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Se trata de un diario en el que se narra momento a momento de la transformación de una mujer en apariencia superficial y vanidosa a un mundo que ella no conocía de dolor, de malos entendidos y enfermedades emocionales como la baja autoestima, y físicas como la obesidad, la codependencia, por una serie de malas elecciones y de pensamientos equivocados, autodestructivos que la llevaron a devaluarse y de someterse a pruebas de las que no estaba convencida, pero que por "amor", la denigraron al grado de permitir humillaciones, golpes, infidelidades, atropellos en su dignidad de mujer, por lo que su auto estima la condujo por odios y resentimientos hacia todos los que la rodeaban, incluyendo a ella misma. Por toda la novela no encontramos el nombre de la protagonista, por una sencilla razón, es la historia de varias mujeres que participaron en una encuesta y taller de lectura, en la que narraron sus similitudes algunas de ellas y de ellas se estructuró la novela. Al continuar con los talleres, se leyeron varios de estos capítulos a las mujeres que asistían y veían que era increíble el parecido que tenía con su propia vida, con la vida de su abuela, de su madre, de tu tía, de su vecina, es decir todos manifestaban conocer una mujer parecida a la protagonista, es por eso que si esto acomoda a algunas, pueden ponerle su nombre o el de alguna conocida y la novela quedará completa Pero ¿de qué similitudes estoy hablando? Se casaron muy jóvenes, con el guapo de la colonia quien siempre les hizo sentir que les hizo un favor, la mayoría embarazadas, bonitas, pero con una autoestima baja por una u otra razón y es ahí donde su cónyuge les encontró el punto débil y lo aprovecharon haciéndolas muy infelices, sin embargo, reconocen su responsabilidad porque lo permitieron. El final es una reflexión de lo que cualquier ser humano debería aplicar antes de entablar una relación enfermiza, pero es hasta que se toca fondo, como cualquier enfermo, para poder recuperarse, sanar y alcanzar lo que todos anhelamos, la felicidad. La protagonista tenía una felicidad falsa al inicio, y al final alcanzó una verdadera, pasando por situaciones adversas, pero aleccionadoras. Hay historias que pueden dar un giro a nuestras vidas, que nos pueden ayudar a ver lo que no hemos podido por estar enfrascados en círculos viciosos, en relaciones equivocadas, en un mundo en el que sólo nos limita nuestro propio pensamiento, pero sobre todo que nos ayuden a dejar atrás las causas de dolor y sufrimiento, esta historia rompe con la idea de que "para merecer, hay que sufrir", nos hace entender que no hay necesidad. Es una historia de dolor, pero a la vez de esperanza de un futuro mejor, siempre y cuando nuestro presente lo llenemos de respeto, responsabilidad y amor
Download or read book Diadem Selected Poems written by Marosa di Giorgio and published by BOA Editions, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marosa di Giorgio has one of the most distinct and recognizable voices in Latin American poetry. Her surreal and fable-like prose poems invite comparison to Franz Kafka, Julio Cortázar, or even contemporary American poets Russell Edson and Charles Simic. But di Giorgio's voice, imagery, and themes—childhood, the Uruguayan countryside, a perception of the sacred—are her own. Previously written off as "the mad woman of Uruguayan letters," di Giorgio's reputation has blossomed in recent years. Translator Adam Giannelli's careful selection of poems spans the enormous output of di Giorgio's career to help further introduce English-language readers to this vibrant and original voice. Marosa di Giorgio was born in Salto, Uruguay, in 1932. Her first book Poemas was published in 1953. Also a theater actress, she moved to Montevideo in 1978, where she lived until her death in 2004.

Download or read book Hasta Ma ana written by Carolyn Wilkerson and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book Hasta Mañana tells the story of Border Patrol Agent Myriam Valencia’s search for the drug smuggler who gave her son drugs that killed him, while also addressing illegal immigration and the difficult task of patrolling the southwestern border. While this timeless story is based on things that could happen, it also highlights the story of an adolescent mother, who had to first raise herself, and who had to make the hard decisions about the needs and responsibilities of her child, and her parental rights. In the end, she must choose between friendship and justice. Critically acclaimed author, Carolyn Wilkerson, wishes you, the reader, to take away an authentic depiction of reality and its many diverse interpretations, as it currently exists on all sides of border/migration management issues, considering their inextricably intertwined, social, cultural, and economic factors. About the Author Although Wilkerson has used her writing skills to author professional documents, she notes that she was shy by nature and a closet writer of fiction and poetry for many years. Writing is a way Wilkerson liberated her thoughts from her head, even when no one read them but her. Writing helped her to absorb the grief of losing her father at age twelve, her mother two weeks after her sixteenth birthday, and writing poetry helped her to deal with the anxiety of living in Washington, D.C. during the late 1960’s riots. Writing was also an affordable therapy when her marriage fizzled after just three years. Wilkerson published articles and a biweekly newspaper column in what seems like another lifetime. Since most beginning writers don’t have a predictable income and she was raising a young child without child support, that career path was not an option. Now, her son, a retired U.S. Federal Agent, is helping her to fulfill a dream deferred. Wilkerson encourages others who have had to make practical choices in years past to revisit their childhood dreams, inspiring others to embrace the passion that might still be there under the cocoon like layers of life that got in the way, just waiting for a breath of fresh perspective to unfurl their wings. “Hasta Mañana is a fast-moving and exciting thriller novel with great characters and a story where the line between the bad guys and good guys is crossed as often as the U.S. border. Wilkerson accurately portrayed my experience of working as a Border Patrol Agent while keeping me entertained the whole way with each chapter drawing me to the next, leading to an unexpected conclusion.” – Mike Molloy, U.S. Border Patrol Agent in Charge, Retired
