Paris Spleen is one of the first modern books--formally experimental, morally ambivalent, and relentlessly urban. Written in the 1850s, these fifty prose poems roam through the streets of Paris with unsparing detail and a deeply ambivalent gaze. Baudelaire captures daily life as something both intoxicating and absurd, filled with strange encounters, sudden violence, fleeting beauty, and constant noise. This is not poetry in the usual sense, but something sharper and more elastic: compact narratives, snapshots, observations, and provocations.Baudelaire moves quickly between tones--satirical, melancholic, brutal, philosophical--without ever losing control. Paris Spleen speaks in the voice of a man both of the city and estranged from it, and it remains one of the most influential works of the 19th century: vivid, darkly comic, and permanently contemporary.

This is the book's first edition, with poems presented in their original form, many of them written in the author's teenage and early adult years, giving readers a candid look into her early voice and artistic development. The tone is predominantly unfiltered, emphasizing authenticity over polish, which enhances the relatability and raw appeal of the work. This approach provides a unique, immersive experience of youth seen through the lens of poetic expression.

El libro inédito de Mario Benedetti (1920-2009). 'Cuando la poesía abre sus puertas es como si cambiáramos de mundo'. Durante los dos últimos años de su vida, Benedetti seleccionó y preparó la edición de estos escritos. Corrigió, reescribió y ordenó los sesenta y dos poemas que componen la obra. Es, por tanto, el último legado del imprescindible escritor uruguayo. Biografía para encontrarme nos invita a descubrir o reencontrarnos con la esencia literaria de Benedetti a través de su poesía más íntima y conmovedora. Sus versos conjuran el poder de un mar sobrecogedor, evocan la tímida luz de una madrugada incierta o dibujan el mapa de la melancolía universal. La selección de poemas, que el maestro uruguayo dejó lista para ser entregada a sus editores, recorre los motivos poéticos más significativos del escritor: soledad, nostalgia, muerte, amor, belleza, desarraigo... Benedetti en estado puro

"Full of heart and wisdom, Daughters of Latin America sheds a brilliant light on Latine and Caribbean women writers across time, space, languages, and genres."-World Literature TodaySpanning time, styles, and traditions, a dazzling collection of essential works from 140 Latine writers, scholars, and activists from across the world-from warrior poet Audre Lorde to novelist Edwidge Danticat and performer and author Elizabeth Acevedo and artist/poet Cecilia Vicuña-gathered in one magnificent volume. Daughters of Latin America collects the intergenerational literary voices of Latine women across time and space, capturing the power, strength, and creativity of these visionary writers, leaders, scholars, and activists-including 24 Indigenous voices. Several authors featured are translated into English for the first time. Grammy, National Book Award, Cervantes, and Pulitzer Prize winners as well as a Nobel Laureate and the next generation of literary voices are among the stars of this essential collection, women whose work inspires and transforms us. An eclectic and inclusive time capsule spanning centuries, genres, and geographical and linguistic diversity, Daughters of Latin America is divided into 13 sections representing the 13 holy moons, each cycle honoring a different theme. Within its pages are poems from U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón; lyric essays from New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Acevedo, Pulitzer prize-winning playwright Quiara Alegría Hudes, and Guggenheim Fellow Maryse Condé; rousing speeches from U.S. Representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, and Lencan Indigenous land and water protector Berta Caceres; and a transcendent Mazatec chant from shaman and poet María Sabina testifying to the power of language as a cure, which opens the book. More than a collection of writings, Daughters of Latin America is a resurrection of ancestral literary inheritance as well as a celebration of the rising voices encouraged and nurtured by those who came before them. In addition to those mentioned above, contributors include Elizabeth Acevedo, Julia Alvarez, Albalucia Angel, Marie Arana, Ruth Behar, Gioconda Belli, Miluska Benavides, Carmen Bouollosa, Giannina Braschi, Norma Cantú, Ana Castillo, Sandra Cisneros, Ingrid Rojas Contreras, Angie Cruz, Edwidge Danticat, Julia de Burgos, Lila Downs, Laura Esquivel, Conceição Evaristo, Mayra Santos Febres, Sara Gallardo, Cristina Rivera Garza, Reyna Grande, Sonia Guiñasaca, Georgina Herrera, María Hinojosa, Claudia Salazar Jimenez, Jamaica Kincaid, María Clara Sharupi Jua, Amada Libertad, Josefina López, Gabriela Mistral, Celeste Mohammed, Cherrié Moraga, Angela Morales, Nancy Morejón, Anaïs Nin, Achy Obejas, Alejandra Pizarnik, Yolanda Arroyo Pizarro, Elena Poniatowska, Laura Restrepo, Ivelisse Rodriguez, Mikeas Sánchez, Esmeralda Santiago, Rita Laura Segato, Ana María Shua, Natalia Toledo, Julia Wong, Elisabet Velasquez, Karla Cornejo Villavicencio, Helena María Viramontes, and many more.

In the powerful and eclectic poetry of Tomás Modesto Galán, the clash of cultures, landscapes, and experiences unfolds in vivid, sometimes surreal imagery. With a career spanning over three decades, his poetry emerges as a bridge between the Dominican Republic and New York, capturing the complexities of identity, migration, and the struggles of urban life. In this essential anthology, which spans a wide array of poetic forms and themes, Galán's voice rings out with the urgency of a submachine gun's shot-sharp, relentless, and full of humanity. From the depths of lyricism to biting social critique, Galán explores the contradictions of life in crisis, blending the influences of surrealism, German expressionism, and Dominican folklore to create a poetry that knows no borders.This collection offers a comprehensive look at the evolution of a poet whose work is as limitless as the cultures it reflects, drawing on the vivid memories of his homeland and the realities of his adopted city. Whether confronting the idealism of the American dream or dissecting the cultural politics of his native country, Galán's work challenges and transcends literary conventions. His poetry, born from a deep sense of place, speaks to anyone caught between worlds-at once personal, universal, and unapologetically bold.

El desarrollo rítmico y las historias de los poemas que conforman El aire en la mano se apoyan en (o han sido sugeridos o acabados por) una pieza musical que forma parte de un conjunto de grandes obras universales. En su totalidad, y de forma individual, estos poemas proponen que las grandes obras universales (en la música, en este caso) encierran momentos que sólo se pueden medir a partir de las experiencias únicas de quienes escuchan a maestros como J. S. Bach o W. A. Mozart. Los poemas son, entonces, el recorrido en un paisaje personal donde la poesía y la música se funden para llegar a visualizar momentos decididamente humanos. Mediante la lectura de estos poemas se llega a entender que los hechos poético-musicales del poemario apuntan hacia interpretaciones que quizás correspondan al acto de escribir (vivir) la vida con honrada, si bien frágil, dignidad. También, se podría decir que, apuntan a sentir insistentemente la triste e indeleble felicidad que puede dejar un amor fugaz, o incluso la de querer, sin prisas, a alguien después de la muerte.Dicho todo esto, la idea de más peso en El aire en la mano es que cada pieza musical que lleva de la mano a cada poema se abre a la interpretación del oyente y del lector. Si el poeta ofrece una lectura auditiva con palabras, es porque comprende perfectamente que la interpretación de tales piezas no es más que una posible variación (o divagación) sobre un universo inmarcesible.

Langsam nur zeigt sich die Welt - eine Welt, die in unserer wohnt. Mittendrin kein Ich, sondern ein Wir, das die umgebende Natur atmet, ­darin denkt und spricht. Zeit und Raum ­verschwimmen. Da ist ein Wald, da sind Tiere, da ist ein Dorf. Einem Rätsel gleich entspinnt sich ein lyrisches Netz aus 24 Fragmenten. Diese zweisprachige Ausgabe enthält sowohl den spanischen Originaltext als auch die deutsche Übersetzung. El mundo se revela tan solo de manera pausada: un ­mundo que a la vez vive dentro del nuestro. No hay un Yo, sino un Nosotros que respira la natura­leza a su alrededor, piensa y ­habla dentro de ella. Tiempo y espacio se confunden. Hay un bosque, hay animales, hay un pueblo. Como un acertijo se entrama una red lírica de 24 ­fragmentos.

Ein Hemd an der Wäscheleine erzählt eine Liebes­geschichte, ein Spiegelbild in einer Pfütze ein ­ganzes Leben. Die Lyrik der brasilianischen Dichterin Ana Martins Marques kommt meist mit wenigen Worten aus. Pinselstrichartig zeigen sich Fragmente des Alltags, Situationen, ­Dinge, Beobachtungen, die über sich hinaus­weisen, Inneres ausleuchten. Gedichte aus mehreren Jahren fügen sich zu vier Kapiteln zusammen: Über den Tod, die Liebe, die Sprache und das Rauchen. Zwischen Leben und Vergänglichkeit, Anwesenheit und Abwesenheit, Sprache und Sprachlosigkeit.Uma camisa no varal resume toda uma história de um amor, uma poça de água é capaz de, por poucos segundos, refletir uma vida inteira. A poesia de Ana Martins Marques é de escassas palavras. São pinceladas certeiras, esboços de cotidianos, fragmentos, objetos e situações que em versos claros e sóbrios, por vezes irônicos, dolorosos ou levemente surreais visam quase sempre para além de si mesmos e iluminam interiores. Os poemas deste livro, dividido em quatro seções, falam da morte, do amor, da (própria) língua e do (deixar de) fumar, da vida e de sua transitoriedade, de presenças e ausências, de palavras e do não dito.

A memorable debut collection that explores colonial and generational trauma. In this striking debut, Dorsía Smith Silva explores the devastating effects of Hurricane María in Puerto Rico, highlighting the natural world, the lasting impact of hurricanes, and the marginalization of Puerto Ricans. These poems also focus on the multiple sites of oppression in the United States, especially the racial, social, and political injustices that occur every day. Smith Silva writes with a powerful, gripping voice, confronting the "drowning" of disenfranchised communities as they are displaced, exploited, and robbed of their identities, but remain resilient. Written with unflinching language and vivid imagery, In Inheritance of Drowning reveals the many facets of the lives of marginalized people. <BR>

Pimping My Trauma is a courageous poetry collection that serves as a defiance of the stigma of having sexual trauma. This book challenges the social norm of a blue-collar environment where sexual survivors silence themselves in fear of being seen as defects in a non-benevolent society. As a survivor, the poet speaks through this collection about the need for intimacy and control, while wrestling with identity and self-deprivation. This collection of poems results in living life afloat with a desperate need to be grounded and reclaim power.

Gold Medal International Latino Book Award Winner 2023 - Segunda edición ampliada: incluye completo el libro Lazarus Premio Internacional Manuel Acuña- Poetry Book"De tanto en tanto en el firmamento de la poesía emergen nuevas estrellas cuyos espectros nos revelan universos no captados aún. Es el caso de Lazarus de David Cruz. Llevando a sus límites la idea de la paradoja, esta poesía trastoca los cimientos de lo que podíamos entender por un yo, por una cultura, por una lengua. Así, la voz que va emergiendo de estos poemas es tanto la voz múltiple en que vamos intercambiando nuestras vidas como la voz de nadie con la que reconocemos la muerte. Conmovido, cierro este libro y miro afuera el cielo difunto de las estrellas: irguiéndose desde su propia muerte Lazarus visita a los poetas muertos para decirnos una de las frases más bellas que nos puede mostrar entregado la poesía de hoy:Ir tras tus pasoses siempre dar con los míos. Como un mantra vuelvo una y otra vez sobre ella y creo entender y creo que el lector entenderá conmigo.Raúl ZuritaDelhi, 22 de agosto, 2022

A radically open interrogation of queer Chicano identity<BR><BR> In his fourth poetry collection, JosÉ Antonio RodrÍguez investigates how one constructs a relationship to the self, to community, and to poetry itself. The Day's Hard Edge is composed of three sections, the first of which situates the reader in the speaker’s world, one marked by multiple forms of trauma. Here are the contours of the Texas/Mexico borderlands where the speaker’s initial sense of self and community emerges. The second section broadens in scope and considers the potential and limitations of poetry as a site for meaning-making. The third section brings the speaker to a new understanding of the poem as it relates to the transformative and destabilizing experience of trauma. Ultimately this book lays bare an individual and, in doing so, shows how poetry acts as a place of succor and vulnerability for one’s very identity. Together these poems explore what it means to be queer, immigrant, and Chicano.

Winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in PoetryWinner of the SFPA's Elgin Award for Best Speculative Poetry BookIncludes the Dwarfs Stars Award winning poem "Perish and Live Forever"Includes the Rhysling Award winning poem "A Black Hole is a Melting Pot That Will Make Us Whole"Weaving science-fiction, Mexican folklore, and magical realism, this 50-poem collection explores the wonders and pitfalls of humanity in a future yet to come. Experience a faraway world where sapient flora sing melodic tunes; behold orbit-plunging taco trucks as they make planetfall; observe as El Cucuy becomes a stowaway on a space shuttle; witness a neurologically-enhanced lobster become President of the United States; bear the agonizing wave of shrink-ray-gun violence plaguing public schools. All these sights and more await in Mexicans on the Moon: Speculative Poetry from a Possible Future!"Iniguez takes us on a galactic journey to a poignant future in "Mexicans on the Moon" through entertaining and thought-provoking poetry by adding powerful twists to current social and ecological situations. I completely enjoyed the haunting tales told in Iniguez's remarkable poems, here is a poet who knows how to engage the reader!"-Linda D. Addison, award-winning author, HWA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient and SFPA Grand Master."The smooth blending of Cultural Poetics and Scientific Genius that is Pedro Iniguez gleams brightly through his new book of poems, MEXICANS ON THE MOON, dropping on us like "a beautiful bomb." This book is a wonderful reminder of what we, Brown People, are also capable of in shaping our would-be futures and in some cases without past colonial intervention. This style, which is essentially the poetic form of Chicano Futurism, and like very few before him, combines short glimpses of verse with real science, a touch of alternate history, and a spicy taste of science fiction that makes some of us wish, "What if, ese?"The refined words within remind me of the ones I could find in the pages of OMNI and other magazines like it back in the last century when I was reading them. These words also remind me of the great possibilities for speculative poets with Spanish sounding names that are sometimes excluded from the overabundant flow of an English-speaking mainstream. But this isn't about politics. This is about Great Poetics! And MEXICANS ON THE MOON is a Great Book of Poems! I am extremely proud of Pedro Iniguez's superior endeavor. This truly is a great book to build new dreams... or die from them. Exito!"-Juan Manuel Pérez, author of Bury My Heart Under The Martian Sky, 2019-2020 Poet Laureate Of Corpus Christi, Texas"Ever fleeting, yet intimate, and fantastical, with a rhythm of wonder and charm and care, Pedro Iniguez' Mexicans on the Moon is sometimes tender, often tragic, but ever so gentle and loving."-Cynthia Pelayo, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Crime Scene
