Poemas en blanco satén

Known primarily for his poetry of social protest Chicano poet Alurista moves in a new direction in Z Eros, which includes both erotic and political poetry. Moving rapidly between Spanish and English, he introduces readers to a language and a world that exists somewhere between the two cultures and voices. About half of this book is in English and the rest in Spanish.

He dedicado con amor estos, los primeros versos de mi juventud, donde las ilusiones fueron parte de mi vida. Atraída por lo nuevo y por lo desconocido, con una gran imaginación y ese único y total romanticismo. El amor es la esencia del ser, es poesía. El lenguaje del amor, con sus sueños, fantasías, derrotas, y despedidas, atesora todo lo vivido, la nostalgia del pasado y vivifica el presente hasta su último latido. Es asunto de almas.

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.
