Torch Song Tango Choir
ISBN: 9780816528646 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. These fine poems are connected by and evoke the music of lost homelands.

Against this musical backdrop, she invests the bandoneon, an accordion-like instrument brought to Argentina in the late nineteenth century, with a special significance.

The Spoken Body
ISBN: 9781935514459 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This Brown Girl, Dr. Yolanda Nieves, sings of Spirit in these poetic pieces. She sings of a life of dichotomies - a life froth with painful memories that lie dormant, ready to erupt at any given moment in any number of ways. These memories wrestle with harmonies of Hope and Faith that actively convey a melody of Truth - that we are all God's children "woven together like the roots of a baobab tree netted into the earth" - free to grow, free to expand life, free to give to the world who we truly are.
Sarah E. Howard, Ed.D., L.P.C. In her second collection of poetry, Yolanda Nieves... This Brown Girl, Dr. Yolanda Nieves, sings of Spirit in these poetic pieces. She sings of a life of dichotomies - a life froth with painful memories t...

The Perforated Map
ISBN: 9781848611603 / Angielski / Miękka / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Poetry. Who guides us through the unknown? Who offers the keys? In THE PERFORATED MAP, Elena Rivera's guide is language as she attempts to navigate the distances, the disturbances, the suggestions, the mistakes, the perforations. In these poems, language is the map, the matter that fills/affects the body, the organizing principle between the self and the world, and the forms that it gives rise to. The sentence is filled with holes. What is graspable between self and other? Is not all language in transit, moving in gradations of light, between knowing and the fuzzy conveyance shaped by words...

Full Foreground
ISBN: 9780816521333 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Poet Roberto Tejada uses lyrical poems to explore and give a voice to the troubles of global citizenship, US Mexico relations, Latino identity, and the political emotion of queer sexualities. His collection provides a holistic ground-level view of pivotal world events from the mid 1990s to a more recent present. Tejada s innovative work dramatically widens the scope of Latina/o literature, showing us exactly what it can accomplish. The poems move very much like a three-act play, in which the first act is one of origins; the second, a staging of desire; and the third, a symbiosis....
