Resumen del Libro

Libro Colcha

Winner of a 2002 American Book Award Winner of the 2002 Colorado Book Award in Poetry "The natural voice at work in the poetry sings of one human life as if it were our own. I loved listening." —Rita Kiefer, author of Nesting Doll "This just may be one of the best books of poetry I have ever read. . . . This is the kind of writing that give poetry a good name." —Mike Nobles, Tulsa World "Abeyta's poetry amazingly captures this struggle with poems that are simultaneously tortured and thankful, celebratory and melancholy, earthly and ethereal. . . . Poet Abeyta beautifully captures the hardships of living in rural Colorado." —Blue Sky Quarterly "Abeyta writes about family, friends, and famous (and infamous) locals. His approach is intimate and daring while avoiding the self-absorbed, coffee-house clichés we fear. Yes, death plays a role in the connection of community and the land, but these poems are sly rather than dark, modulated rather than graphic, sweet rather than maudlin." —Wayne Sheldrake, Colorado Central Magazine In Colcha, Aaron Abeyta blends the contrasting rhythms of the English and Spanish languages, finding music in a simple yet memorable lyricism without losing the complexity and mystery of personal experience. His forty-two poems take the reader on a journey through a contemplative personal history that explores communal, political and societal issues as well as the individual experiences of family and friends. With his distinctive voice, Abeyta invites people of all cultures to enter his poems by exploring the essence of humanity as expressed by his particular Hispanic culture and heritage. Marked by intimacy and deep sentiment, Colcha not only acquaints us with the land of Abeyta's people, but also reveals the individuals from his life and family history in the most colorful and delicate detail. We meet his abuelitos (grandparents) in poems such as "colcha" and "3515 Wyandot," and hear of their connection to the tierra and its seasons, their labor and its bounty presented both viscerally and lovingly. We also meet the nameless people: the rancheros and the herders and the farmers, the locals in their pick-up trucks, and the women who make the tortillas. Abeyta's reflections on the plight, loves, joys, failures, and exploitation of the common person in such poems as "cuando se secan las acequias," "untitled (verde)," and "cinco de mayo" belong to the literary heritage of such poets as Pablo Neruda, Federico Garcia Lorca, and Walt Whitman. Colcha is not just for those who love poetry, but for all people who wish to be moved by the music of language and, while listening, perhaps to gain some personal insight into their own lives and cultural traditions.

Poemas de autoayuda

Libro Poemas de autoayuda

Los textos reunidos en Poemas de Autoayuda, de Juan Cameron, han sido escritos durante los últimos tres años, como una revisión de estos tiempos inmersos en el océano de un lenguaje contaminado por el uso del poder y el deterioro de lo cotidiano. Entre las ruinas de un mundo que se desmorona el poeta escribe y registra su entorno, el paso del tiempo y del amor, el fracaso de la civilización. Se trata de un sujeto fuera de la manada quien intenta, sin embargo, en benecio propio y de los demás, dar cuenta de estos quiebres para, a partir de allí, recomponer el dolor causado por un medio...

Y, no obstante, los parecidos y las afinidades entre estos dos hombres de tiempos diferentes se afianzan con la lectura de cada página.

Libro Preferiría no decirlo

“Esta poesía señalada – diferente – lleva en sí misma – una metafísica de lo sensible – de lo cercano – y de lo ausente al mismo tiempo”, (Amanda Berenguer). “El habla poética de Elbio Chitaro nace de una tensión entre las imposibilidades (a priori) del lenguaje y la vocación por la precisión verbal, por la concisión del decir”, (Gerardo Ciancio). “Chitaro, con sus chítaras formas de con/versar y con/vencer nos está provocando a repensar las tantas caras de la impredicción”, (Enrique Bacci).
