Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Lotería

The vision begins with a river. From this river, you can see a village, marine life, and ancestral rituals. It is here that you recognize origins, and a poison beginning to spread through paradise. Suddenly, a premonition: a wounded animal. The certainty of war cries. What you take with you is what you become, each movement a gamble, a lottery of life that transforms you until this moment, when uncertainty becomes an ally. Lotería: Nocturnal Sweepstakes is a collection of deeply evocative coming-of-age poems that take the reader on a voyage through the intimate experiences of displacement. Conjuring dreamlike visions of extravagant fruits and rivers animated by the power of divination, these poems follow the speaker from the lash of war’s arrival through an urgent escape and reinvention in a land that saves with maternal instinct but also smothers its children. In this bilingual collection, Colombian American poet Elizabeth Torres threads together the stories of family dynamics and the realities of migration with the archetypes of tarot and the traditional Lotería game, used for centuries as an object of divination and entertainment. Through these themes and images, the poems in Lotería narrate intimate moments in the lives and journeys of migrants, refugees, and all who have been forced into metamorphosis in order to reach the other side of the river.

Libro Palabras de paz

Si los anteriores poemarios llevaron a la autora a una búsqueda constante de sentido del Ser y el Mundo, a una rebelión, un manifiesto contra el caos, el sinsentido; Palabras de Paz, su tercer poemario, supone una reconcilación de la autora y el Mundo, introspectivamente, pero también entre sí.

Libro Some Clarifications

"In his poem, "Toward a Portrait of the Undocumented," Javier O. Huerta writes, "The economy is a puppeteer / manipulating my feet. / (Who's in control when you dance?) / Pregnant with illegals, the Camaro / labors up the road; soon I will be born." Sharing similar experiences with the more than eleven million undocumented people who live in the United States, Huerta struggles with his own sense of loss, caught between his life here and his past in Mexico. "Soy nadiense," he writes in another poem - I am from nowhere." "In this, Huerta's first full-length collection of poetry, he explores...

Una Gota de mi Manantial

Libro Una Gota de mi Manantial

Mi primer poemario cargado de amor, paz y maxima energia positiva. Una recopilacion de poesias para amar, reir, recordar y reflexionar nuestros pasos en la vida. Una hermosa manera de expresarme en mi segunda obra literaria. Es mi poesia moderna como dos amigos que se dan la mano, la esperanza al final del tunel, sentimientos y reflexion en una misma nube. Les estrego mi corazon y ese grito que no contuve.
