Download or read book Selected Prose and Prose Poems written by Gabriela Mistral and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first Latin American to receive a Nobel Prize for Literature, the Chilean writer Gabriela Mistral (1889-1957) is often characterized as a healing, maternal voice who spoke on behalf of women, indigenous peoples, the disenfranchised, children, and the rural poor. She is that political poet and more: a poet of philosophical meditation, self-consciousness, and daring. This is a book full of surprises and paradoxes. The complexity and structural boldness of these prose-poems, especially the female-erotic prose pieces of her first book, make them an important moment in the history of literary modernism in a tradition that runs from Baudelaire, the North American moderns, and the South American postmodernistas. It's a book that will be eye-opening and informative to the general reader as well as to students of gender studies, cultural studies, literary history, and poetry. This Spanish-English bilingual volume gathers the most famous and representative prose writings of Gabriela Mistral, which have not been as readily available to English-only readers as her poetry. The pieces are grouped into four sections. "Fables, Elegies, and Things of the Earth" includes fifteen of Mistral's most accessible prose-poems. "Prose and Prose-Poems from Desolación / Desolation [1922]" presents all the prose from Mistral's first important book. "Lyrical Biographies" are Mistral's poetic meditations on Saint Francis and Sor Juana de la Cruz. "Literary Essays, Journalism, 'Messages'" collects pieces that reveal Mistral's opinions on a wide range of subjects, including the practice of teaching; the writers Alfonso Reyes, Alfonsina Storni, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Pablo Neruda; Mistral's own writing practices; and her social beliefs. Editor/translator Stephen Tapscott rounds out the volume with a chronology of Mistral's life and a brief introduction to her career and prose.

Download or read book Collected Poems written by Federico García Lorca and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 1166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revised edition of this major writer's complete poetical work And I who was walking with the earth at my waist, saw two snowy eagles and a naked girl. The one was the other and the girl was neither. -from "Qasida of the Dark Doves" Federico García Lorca was the most beloved poet of twentieth-century Spain and one of the world's most influential modernist writers. His work has long been admired for its passionate urgency and haunting evocation of sorrow and loss. Perhaps more persistently than any writer of his time, he sought to understand and accommodate the numinous sources of his inspiration. Though he died at age thirty-eight, he left behind a generous body of poetry, drama, musical arrangements, and drawings, which continue to surprise and inspire. Christopher Maurer, a leading García Lorca scholar and editor, has brought together new and substantially revised translations by twelve poets and translators, placed side by side with the Spanish originals. The seminal volume Poet in New York is also included here in its entirety. This is the most comprehensive collection in English of a poet who—as Maurer writes in his illuminating introduction—"spoke unforgettably of all that most interests us: the otherness of nature, the demons of personal identity and artistic creation, sex, childhood, and death."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Te invito a usar tus ojos de una manera diferente. Redescubre el verdadero sentido del mirar: hazlo con los verdaderos ojos, los del espíritu. Cuando aceptes esta invitación, podrás lanzar UNA MIRADA AL CIELO y encontrarás una maravillosa sorpresa: el descubrimiento del paraíso y la vida eterna que se abre ante ti. Realiza conmigo este viaje y encuentra los designios que Dios me ha revelado para ti. Descubre, a través de la lectura de esta obra testimonial, experiencias por las que he pasado yo misma y por las que han pasado otros, y una respuesta a las interrogantes existenciales: ¿Qué es la muerte física? ¿Qué hay más allá de ella? ¿Somos solo polvo que se extingue y lleva el viento o somos un espíritu que trasciende? ¿Existe un juicio superior después de la muerte? Y si es así, ¿quién lo hace? ¿Existe Dios? ¿Qué es el purgatorio? ¿Qué es la vida eterna? ¿Cómo deberé vivir en el aquí y en el ahora para tener derecho a una vida mejor? Como adelanto, quiero decirte que este viaje no tiene fi n. Es apenas un breve itinerario, pero ten cuidado, porque necesitas ir preparado. Como equipaje, debes llevar un corazón sensible y abierto, una actitud humilde para aceptar lo que descubras durante el trayecto y una mente alejada de toda crítica, porque solo de esta manera podrás darle uso a tus nuevos ojos. Pronto estarás de regreso para continuar con la cotidianeidad de tu existencia, y tal vez, después de lanzar UNA MIRADA AL CIELO, tu corazón, tu espíritu y tu mente encontrarán el verdadero sentido de la felicidad y la clave para vivir eternamente en el paraíso, en compañía de Dios y tus seres queridos. ¿Qué esperas? ¡Acompáñame!
