Llévame al Mar
by Mois Benarroch Aarón Lasanta VanhoutteghemUna colección de poemas de la última década, incluyendo traducciones del hebreo y español, además de poemas escritos en inglés por el reconocido poeta israelí Mois Benarroch. Entre el Rayo y el Trueno Entre el rayo y el trueno para cuando veo tu luz ya hay demasiado ruido. Aquí En estas calles el ángel que caminó antes que yo me ayudó a caminar evitando que cayera me salvó cuando tuve un accidente de coche en la cabeza cerca de la sinagoga sobre la cabeza del año aquí en estas calles tan vacías de mí lloré por primera vez sonreí por primera vez y desde aquí viajé a todas partes ahora he vuelto buscando la comprensión de las casas, las calles, las aceras, la gente. Si Me Ves por la Calle y no te saludo no creas que no quiero tu compañía o que intento hacerte daño si me ves por la calle y estoy pensando en otro poema en otras palabras que puedan por fin describir la línea del firmamento que se conecta entre mis piernas y la ciudad en la que nací un gran arco iris si me ves por la calle y no digo hola no es una declaración de guerra sino una mirada hacia el futuro. Arena me llevó veinte años aprender a llorar en hebreo entonces mis palabras se volvieron suaves como una roca cuyo secreto fue desvelado por la lluvia: estaba hecha de arena.
Lo que todas callan
by Irene G PuntoLo que todas callan es un poemario visceral y sensitivo sobre algo de lo que nunca se ha hablado en poesía: el posparto y el origen de los sentimientos maternales. Lo que todas callan es el resultado de mi encuentro con el amor, el dolor, el silencio y la supervivencia convertido en versos dispuestos a poner luz a muchos tabúes que, como mujer y como madre, me bebí sin sed. La RAE dice que el posparto es el periodo que transcurre desde el parto hasta que la mujer vuelve al estado ordinario anterior a la gestación. Pero para mí esta definición es inexacta y vengo con un puñado de poemas para enriquecerla. Reseñas:«Este libro es una reconciliación, pero también es volver a abrir unas heridas que no sanarán del todo nunca. Afortunadamente. Unas cicatrices hechas poema que me dicen que yo también estuve ahí, en ese lugar del que nadie me había hablado.»Zahara «Irene G Punto ha cogido un margeny lo ha hecho suyo. Hablo del margen de la maternidad en general, y del margen del posparto en particular. Pocas veces se había escrito así sobre un momento de la vida del cuerpo de quien fue madre en el que todo pueden ser sombras iluminadas por unas leves y diminutas luces.»Luna Miguel «Hay dos formas de ser original y merecer ser oído: decir lo que nadie sabe o lo que muchos ocultan. Este libro tiene el valor de hacer lo segundo, porque abre una ventana de la maternidad que estaba condenada y por la que ahora entra el sol y la luz, pero también el frío. Sus poemas los ha escrito Irene G Punto, pero los firmarían Anne Sexton o Sylvia Plath.»Benjamín Prado
Load in Nine Times: Poems
by Frank X. WalkerA stirring and historically substantive tribute to literal freedom fighters that provides inspiration and instruction for all who believe in liberation in illiberal times. —Cortney Lamar Charleston For decades Frank X Walker has reclaimed essential American lives through his pathbreaking historical poetry. In this stirring new collection, he reimagines the experiences of Black Civil War soldiers—including his own ancestors—who enlisted in the Union army in exchange for emancipation. Moving chronologically from antebellum Kentucky through Reconstruction, Walker braids the voices of the United States Colored Troops with their family members, as well as slave owners and prominent historical figures from Abraham Lincoln to Frederick Douglas and Margaret Garner. Imbued with atmospheric imagery, these persona poems and more “[clarify] not only the inextricable value of Black life and labor to the building of America, but the terrible price they were forced to pay in producing that labor” (Khadijah Queen). “How do you un-orphan a people?” Walker asks. “How do you pick up / shattered black porcelain and make / a new set of dishes fit to eat off?” While carefully attuned to the heartbreak and horrors of war, Walker’s poems pay equal care to the pride, perseverance, and triumphs of their speakers. Evoking the formerly enslaved General Charles Young, Walker hums: “I am America’s promise, my mother’s song, / and the reason my father had every right to dream.” Expansive and intimate, Load in Nine Times is a resounding ode to the powerful ties of individual and cultural ancestry by an indelible voice in American poetry.

Local Visitations: Poems
by Stephen DunnWise and searching new poems from the winner of the 2000 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry. In his twelfth collection, his first since winning the Pulitzer Prize, Stephen Dunn turns his keen gaze on Sisyphus, our contemporary Everyman. Free, for the time being, from the power of the gods and the ceaseless weight of the rock, he struggles to navigate twenty-first-century America. In language by turns mordant and tender, often elegiac, Dunn illuminates the quotidian burdens of his all-too-human hero, as well as the abrasions of ambivalence and choice, finally concluding that "here / and there, though mostly here, even fate is reversible / with struggle or luck." In a second sequence of poems, nineteenth-century novelists become "local visitors" to the author's South Jersey towns. "Chekhov in Port Republic," "Jane Austen in Egg Harbor," "Dostoyevsky in Wildwood": these inventions and others give Dunn provocative new latitudes. As in his previous books, "he balances the casual and the vivid as he plumbs the ambiguity and mystery of human relations" (New York Times Book Review).
Locomotion (New Windmill Ser.)
by Jacqueline WoodsonFinalist for the National Book AwardWhen Lonnie was seven years old, his parents died in a fire. Now he's eleven, and he still misses them terribly. And he misses his little sister, Lili, who was put into a different foster home because "not a lot of people want boys-not foster boys that ain't babies." But Lonnie hasn't given up. His foster mother, Miss Edna, is growing on him. She's already raised two sons and she seems to know what makes them tick. And his teacher, Ms. Marcus, is showing him ways to put his jumbled feelings on paper.Told entirely through Lonnie's poetry, we see his heartbreak over his lost family, his thoughtful perspective on the world around him, and most of all his love for Lili and his determination to one day put at least half of their family back together. Jacqueline Woodson's poignant story of love, loss, and hope is lyrically written and enormously accessible.
Locomotive Cathedral (The Backwaters Prize in Poetry Honorable Mention)
by Brandel France de BravoWith wit and vulnerability, Brandel France de Bravo explores resilience in the face of climate change and a global pandemic, race, and the concept of a self, all while celebrating the power of breath as &“baptism on repeat.&” Whether her inspiration is twelfth-century Buddhist mind-training slogans or the one-footed crow who visits her daily, France de Bravo mines the tension between the human desire for permanence and control, and life&’s fluid, ungraspable nature. Poem by poem, essay by essay, she builds a temple to the perpetual motion of transformation, the wondrous churn of change and exchange that defines companionship, marriage, and ceding our place on Earth: &“not dying, but molting.&”
Logotherapy (African Poetry Book)
by Mukoma Wa NgugiWritten as a tribute to family, place, and bodily awareness, Mukoma Wa Ngugi’s poems speak of love, war, violence, language, immigration, and exile. From a baby girl’s penchant for her parents’ keys to a warrior’s hunt for words, Wa Ngugi’s poems move back and forth between the personal and the political. In the frozen tundra of Wisconsin, the biting winds of Boston, and the heat of Nairobi, Wa Ngugi is always mindful of his physical experience of the environment. Ultimately it is among multiple homes, nations, and identities that he finds an uneasy peace.
Lok Kavi Shahir Ramjoshi: लोककवी शाहीर रामजोशी
