Book Synopsis Contemporary Costa Rican Poetry by : Carlos F. Monge
Download or read book Contemporary Costa Rican Poetry written by Carlos F. Monge and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first Spanish/English bilingual anthology of contemporary Costa Rican poetry ever published. It contains a careful selection of poetry published since 1990, and includes Costa Rica's finest poets and most representative current trends. Although not well known outside Costa Rica, this is outstanding poetry due not only to its thematic and stylistic variety, but also to its integration of the main tendencies of contemporary Spanish-language poetry. Victor S. Drescher's painstaking work translating the cultural, linguistic and stylistic features of the originals has made it possible for the English reader to recreate the essential aspects of the world-view that these poems reflect and represent. This anthology makes a substantial contribution to the world of letters by enabling English readers to become familiar with a representative sample of Costa Rican poetry in particular, and with Latin American poetry in general.
Download or read book Paraíso written by Jacob Shores-Argüello and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 2017 CantoMundo Poetry Prize Paraíso, the first book in the new CantoMundo Poetry Series, which celebrates the work of Latino/a poets writing in English, is a pilgrimage against sorrow. Erupting from a mother’s death, the poems follow the speaker as he tries to survive his grief. Catholicism, family, good rum . . . these help, but the real medicine happens when the speaker pushes into the cloud forest alone. In a Costa Rica far away from touristy beaches, we encounter bus trips over the cold mountains of the dead, drug dealers with beautiful dogs, and witches with cell phones. Science fuses with religion, witchcraft is joined with technology, and eventually grief transforms into belief. Throughout, Paraíso defies categorization, mixing its beautiful sonnets with playful games and magic cures for the reader. In the process, moments of pure life mingle with the aftermath of a death.

An exploration through various imaginings of times past, this study is concerned with how oxymoron, metonymy, and multilingualism deploy pluricentrical belonging. By exploring the interlocking of multiple roots that have developed on account of routes, rhizomatic historical imaginations are unearthed here so as to imagine an other Costa Rica. A Black Costa Rica.

Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Keith Ekiss, Sonia P. Ticas & Mauricio Espinoza. "Travelers to Costa Rica often depart the capital of San José as soon as they arrive, heading out for the cloud forest of Monteverde, the volcano at Arenal, or the waves at Playa Tamarindo, leaving behind the smell of diesel fumes and the city's concrete architecture. But if you visit the National Theater, a civic treasure modeled on the Paris Opera, you will find a bronze statue guarding the building, the bust of a woman with a fierce, penetrating gaze, and hair of Medusa--like serpents: the mother of Costa Rican verse and the country's most significant international literary presence, Nuestra Eunice, as she's been called, the poet Eunice Odio. Her poetry has thus remained almost wholly unknown to readers outside Latin America, obscured on the margins of the region's avant-garde and proletarian-poet traditions. A woman poet who lived a secluded life, Odio was born in a country with, at the time, an antipathy to artists and writers, who often relocated to Mexico City if they wanted to establish themselves as contributors to the vanguard. Odio herself was aware of her marginalized, self-exiled position. Octavio Paz once told her that she was "of that line of poets who invent their own mythology, like Blake, like St. John Perse, like Ezra Pound; and they are rubbed out, because no one understands them until years or even centuries after their death."--Keith Ekiss, from the Introduction

Download or read book The Fire's Journey written by Eunice Odio and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Drama. Latinx Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Keith Ekiss, Sonia P. Ticas, and Mauricio Espinoza. "After the flowering of a day's journey, / clover abandons the perfume's tribe / and in winter stretches out greenly. / Am I more than clover, or less than space?..." Volume III of THE FIRE'S JOURNEY concludes with Ion supervising the construction and reconstruction of a great cathedral, the house of light designed to repel the Void. What remains for Ion in Volume IV is to celebrate his victory over Chaos, to seek recognition as "the maker of all things," and to pass along the sacred word to humankind. In The Return, we quickly realize that Ion is not alone in the world as a maker. Odio introduces a minor pantheon of gods from diverse religions, and her own invention, who accompany Ion and Dedalus on their way to the celebration. Together, they advance toward the city in anticipation of a celebration of all things. "The cardinal virtue of Eunice Odio's works is their exceptional quality, immersed in a captivating and evocative atmosphere that rewards sensitive souls with inner experiences that open up into wide horizons. Her masterpiece, the magnificent metaphysical poem 'El tránsito de fuego,' is one of the greatest works of poetry of all time."--Peggy von Mayer Chaves

Book Synopsis From the Mountains to the Coastal Plain by : Judith DeBoard Donnalley
Download or read book From the Mountains to the Coastal Plain written by Judith DeBoard Donnalley and published by . This book was released on 2022-09-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book of poetry is a compilation of memories and reflections of the author's journeys. As a young teacher/librarian, she took a journey leaving the mountains of West Virginia and traveling to the eastern plain of North Carolina to teach at East Carolina University. Some of her poems look back to her days in West Virginia, and others reflect on her life in Eastern North Carolina. Journeys are not only taken in cars and jets but are also realized through the psyche, the mind, and spirit. The poem "Across the River" deals with the journey through some hardship and how the experience can impact the traveler. Human relationship journeys, such as in "Misunderstandings" tells how a faux pas between people can possibly build a stronger bond. The reader may identify with some of the author's experiences in "The Good Humor Truck." Some humor has been sprinkled through when asking "Where Are the Cupholders?" And we can't forget about journeys through love. To look for something of value in establishing a lasting union, turn to the poem "Love's Foundation." It is hoped the reader will find something to ponder while traveling through these journeys and reflections. There is a quotation by Henrietta Boggs, an American who served as first lady of Costa Rica, 1948-1949, who successfully pushed for giving Costa Rican women the right to vote. Satisfaction comes in the struggle itself rather than achieving it. The journey is half the fun, and the journey continues. --Henrietta Boggs
Download or read book Echoes of Dusk written by Roy Hudlin and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-03-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Step into the gentle embrace of twilight with "Echoes of Dusk," a captivating collection where poetry and the sublime artistry of sunsets converge to whisper the unsung melodies of the heart. Crafted with care and deep affection by Roy Hudlin, whose quill dances to the rhythm of the setting sun, this anthology is a tender ode to the fleeting moments that, like dusk, linger on the horizon of our consciousness, painting the sky with the hues of reflection, solace, and quiet anticipation. For forty years, Roy Hudlin has been a silent observer, a chronicler of the invisible threads that weave the tapestry of our lives, finding in the descent of the sun a mirror for the human soul. "Echoes of Dusk" is not just a book; it's a sanctuary for weary spirits seeking solace in the arms of nature's unparalleled beauty. Each poem, paired with a breathtaking photograph of the day's end, serves as a portal to moments of profound peace and introspection, inviting you to pause, breathe, and immerse yourself in the serenity of the closing day. But why "Echoes of Dusk," you might wonder? Because just as echoes travel through time and space, bringing back the essence of the original sound, these poems carry within them the timeless echo of those last rays of light, touching something deep within us that is both personal and universal. Roy Hudlin's verses are more than words; they are heartbeats, capturing the essence of our most introspective moments, those quiet pauses between day and night that remind us of the beauty in endings and the promise of new beginnings. This collection is a journey through the colors of the soul, painted in the golden ambers, the soft lavenders, and the deep indigos of the dusk. It's a conversation between the poet and the world, a delicate dance of shadows and light where every line, every stanza, is a brushstroke on the canvas of the human experience. Roy Hudlin's poetry invites you to lose yourself in the majesty of the natural world, to find your reflections in the changing skies, and to see in each sunset a story, a memory, a dream. "Echoes of Dusk" is more than a book of poetry; it's a companion for those quiet evenings when the world slows down, and the sky becomes a canvas for the night's first stars. It's for the dreamers, the thinkers, the lovers of beauty in all its fleeting forms. So, if you've ever found yourself mesmerized by the slow dance of the day into night, if you've ever felt the stirrings of something deep and ineffable at the sight of the sun dipping below the horizon, then this collection is for you. Embrace the invitation to explore the depths of your own reflections, to find solace in the rhythm of the earth, and to discover the poetry that lies waiting in the quiet transition from light to dark. Let "Echoes of Dusk" be a reminder that in every ending, there is beauty and the whispered promise of a new beginning. Pick up this book, and let the journey begin.

Book excerpt: Since 2012, Tavern Books has been releasing volumes of The Fire's Journey, an origin story of epic proportions by Costa Rican poet Eunice Odio (first published in 1957 as El tránsito de fuego). A much-neglected masterpiece of 20th-century Latin American poetry, the poem imagines the world as the word of God. Using a mixture of surrealism, narrative, and dialogue, the story follows the journey of Ion, the poet-god who enters the universe to battle the Void, the force of chaos that threatens to cast the world into darkness. Drawing on traditions from Genesis to Paradise Lost, Odio's The Fire's Journey is a poem about the sacred power of language and the fate of the poet in the world.The Complete Set includes all four volumes of The Fire's Journey.
