Download or read book The Annunciation written by María Negroni and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction. Translated by Michelle Gil-Montero. As a writer and critic of hemispheric influence, María Negroni has drawn from sources as diverse as Lautréamont, Pizarnik, and Ridley Scott's Alien to build a model of art as museo negro--repository of the anti-real, the anti-rational, of resistance itself. Her novel THE ANNUNCIATION, brought into English with perpetual nimbleness by the poet Michelle Gil-Montero, traces the afterlife of a member of a revolutionary cadre who flees Argentina for Rome amid the state violence of the Dirty War. Visited by spectres of the human and artistic companions of her many past lives, the narrator weighs up the costs of both art and politics, of language and violence, of exultation and extinguishment. In an era of extinctions--including the extinction of hope--THE ANNUNCIATION is a darkly radiant work, a nightship cruising the galaxy, packed with unlikely resources for the dispossessed, powered by the refusal-to-comply.

Book Synopsis The Sun of Always by : Liliana Ancalao
Download or read book The Sun of Always written by Liliana Ancalao and published by . This book was released on 2022-03-23 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "These are poems that remember, that conjure, that define and defy, that locate. "To be a Mapuche poet is to be a researcher, historian, anthropologist, semiotician, linguist, officiant," Ancalao writes. The poems in this collection are a reckoning and interrogation of the narrative of the benevolent (Western/-minded) naturalist; they are a waking and awakening, of the forgetful and the forgotten. The violence, they remind us, is in the silence, but in our mother tongues we find ourselves. In the silenced tongues of indigenous peoples lives an affinity to the land and to those stewards severed from their lands across borders of time and geography. In their voicing, then, is resistance, resilience, strength--and joy. That the poems appear in triplicate, each tongue conjured on the page, is a promise: the forgotten will not be silent anymore."--Abigail Chabitnoy, Author of How to Dress a Fish Poetry. Latinx Studies. Native American Studies. Women's Studies.

Download or read book Another Life written by Daniel Lipara and published by . This book was released on 2021-09 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Literary Nonfiction. Latinx Studies. Translated by Robin Myers. ANOTHER LIFE, Daniel Lipara's subtle and shimmering debut, is a family history, an intimate epic, a travel story, and an initiation. Both meditative and cinematic, engaging both playfully and ardently with the Odyssey and Alice Oswald's Memorial, this book chronicles a constellation of relatives pushed into the light by the centripetal force of death. ANOTHER LIFE is less elegy than eulogy, summoning a vibrant range of voices and tones,--caustic, tender, solemn, ecstatic,--to praise the many lives that fit inside each and every one of us. "A vivid, evocative account of family, place and memory, through Homeric poetry and myth, beautifully translated by Robin Myers."--Emily Wilson "Family, spiritual discovery, the recovery of myth and what it means when we use words like 'sacred,' or 'soul',--Daniel Lipara explores all the larger questions with grace, compassion and deft humour in this gem of a collection. Inventively and scrupulously translated by Robin Myers, ANOTHER LIFE is one of the finest books of poetry that I have read in some time."--John Burnside "It is hard to describe all that ANOTHER LIFE is,--epic poem, bildungsroman, family chronicle, elegy. The thing is, though, description doesn't matter,--the poem beguiles and charms, moves as muscular as an epiphany through the silence it meditates on halfway through when the speaker comes of age at an ashram with his mother. It is dappled with dazzling Homeric similes, describing the life of an Argentine boy descended from Greek farmers and Russian seers as he witnesses, say, his mother being wrapped into a sari in rural India, or his father disassemble an engine in Mataderos. It is home to an effortless abundance, but never a clutteredness, thanks in large part to Robin Myers exceptional translation. In her hands, the lines are as lucent and bracing as ice cubes dropped in a glass of water,--llava halts, gusts of smoke bluster,--and the syntax is as fluid and free of punctuation as the Aeolian winds that move Lipara's people across oceans and eras and into as much as out of each other's lives. Unaffected yet profound, casual but alert to the innate dignity of life, the poem that Robin Myers has brought us does what great poems do: show us the ancient in the contemporary, the lightness in the gravity, the gleaming thread of the sacred woven everywhere in the commonplace."--Conor Bracken

Book Synopsis Echo of the Park by : Romina E. Freschi
Download or read book Echo of the Park written by Romina E. Freschi and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Latinx Studies. Romina Freschi's ECHO OF THE PARK is a philosophical long poem that surveys made spaces, both elevated and debased. In dialogue with First Dream by Sor Juana In�s de la Cruz, Freschi captures fleeting states of grace, such as "ecstasy" and "bliss," and the ensuing gravitational pull of urban life's "imperfect terrain." All urban spaces are interior and exterior, private and public, confining and freeing. Ultimately the park, and the "parkified" speech of the poem, are sites of mourning. Can a former site of political violence be converted into a public green space? Jeannine Marie Pitas's nuanced translation presents Romina Freschi as one of the most singular and startling voices in contemporary Argentine poetry. "Romina Freschi's ECHO OF THE PARK explores dualities of capture and flight. Held by power, routine, poison, cultivation, gravity's many forms? Her language honors ecstatic break through, a feathered bird named Sor Juana, an interspecies heart, introspective focus, and passage to deep grief, and altogether punctuates turbulence with a rare calm...Read Romina Freschi's poetry: like her work as a publisher, professor, and instigator of cultural conversation, it startles us with vulnerable yet durable language. Be a cloud. A shadow-casting amorphous volume in flight for a short time. Be an ant. A ghost."�Deborah Meadows "Romina Freschi's ECHO OF THE PARK is one long poem that lets the reader chose whether to wander through the pages or rush from one short line to the next as it moves from the mystical dream world of Sor Juana to fallen Eden of the present, from the contemporary to the eternal, from speech to silence, from the smell of fallen, rotting avocados to the scent of wet cement, as effortlessly as a small finch flits through the sky. In this fluid, masterful translation by Jeannine Pitas, ECHO OF THE PARK is a book to read in one sitting, then read again�slowly savoring each line."�Jesse Lee Kercheval "The poems of Romina Freschi are a welcome addition to American poetry, where we have a tendency to be isolationist by default. This potent voice from Buenos Aires employs vivid imagery and fierce intellect and sprays candlelight into the cave of what it means to be human, lost between realms, where memory takes many forms�an impossible road, a small basket, a chute we slide down�none of them satisfying. But Freschi's poetry itself engages the mind and ear."�Jeffrey Mcdaniel "Tracing the language of paradise, Romina Freschi's ECHO OF THE PARK, in Jeannine Marie Pitas' brilliant, searing translation, explores a paradise lost, one never-had, in which the poem traverses various registers of pastoral and urban life and asks the reader to 'inhabit then / imperfect terrain.' Through negation�'There is no nature / in the park'�and accumulation alike, this book explores impermanence in its most entropic and lasting forms, leaving its mark on terrain that pushes through the literary and into its liminal outskirts, settling somewhere between 'the dream and its scar.'"�Alexis Almeida
Book Synopsis The Restless Dead by : Cristina Rivera Garza
Download or read book The Restless Dead written by Cristina Rivera Garza and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on comparative readings of contemporary books from Latin America, Spain, and the United States, the essays in this book present a radical critique against strategies of literary appropriation that were once thought of as neutral, and even concomitant, components of the writing process. Debunking the position of the author as the center of analysis, Cristina Rivera Garza argues for the communality—a term used by anthropologist Floriberto Díaz to describe modes of life of Indigenous peoples of Oaxaca based on notions of collaborative labor—permeating all writing processes. Disappropriating is a political operation at the core of projects acknowledging, both at ethical and aesthetic levels, that writers always work with materials that are not their own. Writers borrow from the practitioners of a language, entering in a debt relationship that can only be covered by ushering the text back to the communities from which it grew. In a world rife with violence, where the experiences of many are erased by pillage and extraction, writing among and for the dead is a form of necrowriting that may well become a life-affirming act of decolonization and resistance.
Book Synopsis Night in the North by : FABIAN. SEVERO
Download or read book Night in the North written by FABIAN. SEVERO and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Latinx Studies. Translated by Laura Cesarco Eglin and Jesse Lee Kercheval. NIGHT IN THE NORTH is an autobiographical long poem that chronicles the author's experience growing up in Artigas, Uruguay, a linguistic and cultural borderland nestled between Brazil and Argentina. In a series of stark scenes, Severo revisits moments from his childhood--sketching a rare map of the subtle, yet violent, mechanisms that marginalize culturally specific communities. A luminous meditation on poverty and imaginative possibility. "The speaker of Fabián Severo's remarkable book narrates the struggles of a life lived in a provincial town in Uruguay, but it is not the hardships that a reader will remember, but the hopes, the tender interiority, the intimate knowledge of a place this remarkable poet de-scribes. Rendered in precise and elegant English by Eglin and Kercheval, this book will be a revelation to American readers as it introduces a voice on uncommon clarity and sensitivity, both retrospective and pinned to a hopeful future, from a poet of great expressive gifts."--Mark Wunderlich "'Life is like that / the less you have / the more you dream, ' Fabián Severo's whimsical yet somber, realistic, and tireless narrator states. Written from a place called Artigas, border terrain not possessed by the people who inhabit it, in a language that 'flies loose and free through the sky, ' these poems, so adeptly translated by Laura Cesarco Eglin and Jesse Lee Kercheval, address troubles of poverty, displacement, and abuse in surprisingly simple yet forceful, elegant language. I too wonder 'if God exists / and we are all his children / how can there be a place you're not allowed in?'"--Curtis Bauer "'María always tells the same story, / and her face becomes so happy / that one is filled with sadness.' Such are the many-layered emotional resonances in Fabián Severo's astonishing collection NIGHT IN THE NORTH, which follows the narrator as he records memories of daily life in a small border town in Uruguay. I am in awe of the tender intimacy Severo captures between people living through and into poverty and hardship, in the small tokens that illuminate both sorrow and richness. In sharp and precise language, Laura Cesarco Eglin and Jesse Lee Kercheval bring a much-needed voice into American literature."--Lauren Shapiro

Book Synopsis The Living Infinite by : Chantel Acevedo
Download or read book The Living Infinite written by Chantel Acevedo and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Living Infinite is based on the true story of the Spanish princess Eulalia, an outspoken firebrand at the Bourbon court during the troubled and decadent final years of her family's reign. After her cloistered childhood at the Spanish court, her youth spent in exile, and a loveless marriage, Eulalia gladly departs Europe for the New World. In the company of Thomas Aragon, the son of her one-time wet nurse and a small-town bookseller with a thirst for adventure, she travels by ship first to a Cuba bubbling with revolutionary fervor then on to the 1893 Chicago World Fair. As far as others are concerned, she is there as an emissary of the Bourbon dynasty and a guest of the Fair. Secretly, she is in America to find a publisher for her scandalous, incendiary autobiography, a book that might well turn the old world order on its head. Acevedo's new novel is an atmospheric and gripping tale of love, adventure, power and the quest to take control of one's destiny. Bourbon Spain, Revolutionary Cuba, and fin de si cle America are vividly rendered and Eulalia's personal rebellion will resonate with many readers.

Book Synopsis Malliavin Calculus and Stochastic Analysis by : Frederi Viens
Download or read book Malliavin Calculus and Stochastic Analysis written by Frederi Viens and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stochastic calculus of variations of Paul Malliavin (1925 - 2010), known today as the Malliavin Calculus, has found many applications, within and beyond the core mathematical discipline. Stochastic analysis provides a fruitful interpretation of this calculus, particularly as described by David Nualart and the scores of mathematicians he influences and with whom he collaborates. Many of these, including leading stochastic analysts and junior researchers, presented their cutting-edge research at an international conference in honor of David Nualart's career, on March 19-21, 2011, at the University of Kansas, USA. These scholars and other top-level mathematicians have kindly contributed research articles for this refereed volume.
