Algo de lo sagrado

Descripción del libro

Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Kristin Dykstra and Roberto Tejada, featuring an essay by Kristin Dykstra. "Omar Perez Lopez (1964-) was born in the city of Havana and has lived most of his life to date in Cuba. A former journalist, Perez has explored a wide array of literary genres, particularly poetry, translation, and the essay...At the center of SOMETHING OF THE SACRED is the exploration of displacement. Perez sees poetic metaphor as 'the subtle displacement of something objective'...His apparent strangeness, particularly in his varied uses of Zen traditions, has prevented critics from grouping Perez very comfortably into movements with other writers in contemporary Cuba..Perez has been connected most frequently with Havana's 'Generation of the '80s.' Raised under the auspices of the post-1959 Cuban government, this generation of writers had never experienced the island's earlier governmental or social system. Seen as the product of the Cuban social experiment accompanying the new government, they were raised to envision themselves as participants in a revolution of global resonance. By the 1980s, however, the most utopian elements of this vision had been complicated with a series of experiences suggesting the need for further critical thinking and reform"--Kristin Dykstra.

Mi jardín salvaje

A este jardín –que es salvaje– se ingresa siguiendo los signos, las señales de un secreto aprendizaje: trazos sin guía, palabras que se evaporan, rebeldes y sueltas para abrir un tiempo que se sucede eterno: el momento en que el poema es clarividente. Esta breve antología pone también el tiempo vertical sobre la escritura, sobre el acto de escribir o dibujar el trazo; y en ese acto, contrario nuestra tradición occidental, se regresa no a la palabra sino al silencio. La poeta dice: "Escribo otra. Escribo para no hablar, para no mirar". Y, sin embargo, es esa otredad la que mira, la...

Ants of gold

For Eduardo Urios-Aparisi poetry is above all, word, spoken word. Word that commits, pronounces, sounds. Word that leaves knots in the voice. For Urios, words play and challenge to play, to conceive the world from different and unsuspected points of view. The poems reflect the senses of the poet; moment to moment, in seduction, abandonment, and loss. It is reality flowing and always fleeing; fragmentary, accelerated, changing and unattainable.
