Cool Salsa

Descripción del libro

Growing up Latino in America means speaking two languages, living two lives, learning the rules of two cultures. Cool Salsa celebrates the tones, rhythms, sounds, and experiences of that double life. Here are poems about families and parties, insults and sad memories, hot dogs and mangos, the sweet syllables of Spanish and the snag-toothed traps of English. Here is the glory, and pain, of being Latino American. Latino Americans hail from Cuba and California, Mexico and Michigan, Nicaragua and New York, and editor Lori M. Carlson has made sure to capture all of those accents. With poets such as Sandra Cisneros, Martín Espada, Gary Soto, and Ed Vega, and a very personal introduction by Oscar Hijuelos, this collection encompasses the voices of Latino America. By selecting poems about the experiences of teenagers, Carlson has given a focus to that rich diversity; by presenting the poems both in their original language and in translation, she has made them available to us all. As you move from memories of red wagons, to dreams of orange trees, to fights with street gangs, you feel Cool Salsa's musical and emotional cross rhythms. Here is a world of exciting poetry for you, y tú también.

A corazón abierto. Cuentos de amor

De lo idílico (sin por ello implicar forzosamente lo falso), a lo real crudo, de la alegría a la amargura, pasando por la resignación, el desencanto, la ironía cáustica, pero también la comprensión capaz de anular el maniqueísmo del bueno y del malo. Teniendo en cuenta la condición imprescindible de tema tan universal y constante como es el amor, conforme la propia literatura ejemplifica desde siempre, resulta de veras gratificante también considerar la multiplicidad de perspectivas con la que estos autores contemplan y elaboran una materia literaria cuya importancia radica...
