Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Baca writes with unconcealed passion . . . and manifests both an intense lyricism and that transformative vision which perceives the mythical and archetypal significance of life events.”—Denise Levertov Champion of the International Poetry Slam, winner of the Before Columbus American Book Award, the International Hispanic Heritage Award, the Pushcart Prize, and the prestigious International Award, Jimmy Santiago Baca has been writing as a mestizo (part Native American, part Mexican) and an outsider ever since he learned to read and write—in English—during a six-year Federal prison sentence when he was in his twenties. Drawing on his rich ethnic heritage and his life growing up in poverty in the Southwestern United States, Baca has a created a body of work which speaks to the disenfranchised by drawing on his experiences as a prisoner, a father, a poet, and by reflecting on the lush, and sometimes stark, landscape of the Rio Grande valley. In response to increased demand for Latino poetry in Spanish, and to thousands of Baca fans who are bilingual, this unique collection contains Spanish translations of Baca’s poetry selected from the volumes Martín and Mediations on the South Valley (1987), Black Mesa Poems (1989), Immigrants in Our Own Land (1990), Healing Earthquakes (2001), C-Train and Thirteen Mexicans (2002), Winter Poems Along the Rio Grande (2004), and Spring Poems Along the Rio Grande (2007).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El proceso de escribir poesía se puede definir o catalogar de muchas formas. En una de ellas podríamos decir que consiste en crear belleza. Y ya con esa frase podríamos iniciar debates que nos ocuparían decenas de libros y horas de conversación. ¿No es acaso "belleza" lo que encontramos en obras de arte también terribles? Una amiga, poeta y gran decantadora de la realidad, Txiki, me habló un día de un cuadro, La balsa de la Medusa, pintado por Théodore Géricault en el siglo XIX, en el que un buen número de naúfragos trata de salvarse del hundimiento de un barco. La escena es terrible, dantesca, pero al mismo tiempo la plasticidad, la forma en que se retrata el dramatismo tiene una exactitud, unas luces y sombras, una credibilidad tal que podría considerarse que alcanzan la perfección en cuanto a su belleza. Francisco Muñoz Soler tiene en su poesía el trazo de un pintor que conoce muy bien la técnica por todo lo que lee y ha leído, por todo lo que ha escrito, y al mismo tiempo, como mi amiga poeta que mencionaba antes, también posee la cualidad de saber tamizar, intuir, describir en apenas un esbozo algo que puede estar cargado de inocencia o ser grotesco, cruel o temible. Y es que la vida es o puede ser exactamente así. La poesía la pone encima de la mesa. Si estamos recluídos en nuestras casas contemplando nuestros ombligos y no salimos a ver el mundo, hablaremos de él a través de las opiniones o descripciones sesgadas que alguien ha hecho para nosotros. Francisco no utiliza intermediarios, su poesía nos trae el mundo, nos lo pone encima de nuestra mesa para que descubramos tanto su grandeza como sus numerosos matices, incluso su crueldad. Sus viajes poéticos nunca son monocromos en su faceta de pintor, sino que son sin excepción estallidos de color unas veces más sutiles y otros más llamativos incluso auténticas bofetadas. Al fin y al cabo, es eso lo que se encuentra una persona que viaja con los ojos y los versos bien abiertos: ahí fuera, lejos de las zonas turísticas y las cárceles de extranjeros frente al mar donde todo está incluído, la vida brota como un río no secuestrado por el hormigón. Las personas tienen curiosidad, te lo dan todo o te quitan el aliento con una mirada. Un poeta cualificado para descifrar las realidades, para escuchar y transmitir sin traducir lo que ha visto, es una joya cultural que todos deberíamos preservar. Ese es el valor de lo que hace nuestro poeta. Francisco Muñoz Soler es un notario, pero no de los que esperan parapetados en su oficina a que lleguen las potenciales víctimas de bancos y vendedores a firmar sus hipotecas y transacciones. Él es un notario de la poesía, sale a encontrar los corazones que palpitan en el barro de cualquier país. Es una persona que sabe tratar y aprender de cada persona más allá del saludo protocolario y el gélido apretar de manos. Viajar nos alimenta el alma, igual que la poesía y nos ayuda a ver nuestra desnudez en el mundo con otros prismas. Así, nuestra familia, nuestra ciudad, nuestro entorno adquiere matices nuevos cuando acabamos de alejarnos para volver, en un sístole y diástole que también es el que hace palpitar a nuestros versos. Porque no es cierto que el mundo es solo un rompecabezas de países de colores, con banderas y símbolos; el mundo es una colección gigantesca de grises que van desde el blanco imposible al negro oscuro y el buen poeta, como buen fotógrafo, debe encontrar siempre las herramientas exactas, las palabras, giros, el objetivo, el encuadre, las metáforas, el tiempo justo y la abertura ideal que transmita exactamente lo que estábamos viendo y ya no existe. La poesía es ese instante que ya no existirá nunca, pero que podemos releer siempre, crecer un poco para no ser jamás la misma persona que abrió el libro instantes antes...

Download or read book No Enemies written by Jimmy Santiago Baca and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acclaimed poet Jimmy Santiago Baca knows something is wrong with contemporary society. He’s afraid “that the whole network / that connects us / and society together / is going to collapse / that our lives / will be dependent on tiny / little blue wires / that can’t shake my hand / or share my joy, / that won’t challenge the police / to stop beating a brown man / or can’t do even something as small / and gentle as smile.” In this collection of new poems, Baca expresses his sense of responsibility to use his gift for the greater good. “If not me, then who / speaks to money, power, privilege / if not / an ordinary man / then who?” He chastises those who use their connections to benefit themselves at the expense of the impoverished, imprisoned and undocumented. Frequently, he takes aim at poets and politicians who put their lucrative positions ahead of their constituents: “Governor, if you choose a career / where you have to ignore the truth / and pillage the unfortunate, at least / outlaw automatic weapons.” While many of these poems are stinging rebukes against the wealthy and powerful and their disregard for children living in poverty and the environment, others are beautiful odes to his indigenous roots. There are buffalo with their gentle hearts, sacred places where he prays to his ancestors and the plants growing on steep mountainsides that give “me courage to keep clinging to hope and to learn / life’s most important lesson / practice how to lean in life so as not to fall.” Baca writes urgently about the most important themes of our generation, including education, justice, the environment and even the coronavirus. Ironically, he notes, “the enemy didn’t come at us crossing borders, / swinging machetes and machine guns.” No, nature herself has come to clean house, to give “Mother Earth a reprieve from our greed.”

This book was released on 2016-12-27 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. Latino Literature is defined as Latino literature within the United States that embraces the heterogeneous inter-groupings of Latinos. For too long U.S. Latino literature has not been thought of as an integral part of the overall shared American literary landscape, but that is slowly changing. This dictionary aims to rectify some of those misconceptions by proving that Latinos do fundamentally express American issues, concerns and perspectives with a flair in linguistic cadences, familial themes, distinct world views, and cross-cultural voices. The Historical Dictionary of U.S. Latino Literature contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has cross-referenced entries on U.S. Latino/a authors, and terms relevant to the nature of U.S. Latino literature in order to illustrate and corroborate its foundational bearings within the overall American literary experience. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about this subject.

Book excerpt: Poet-activist Jimmy Baca immerses the reader in an epic narrative poem, imagining the experience of motherhood in the context of immigration, family separation, and ICE raids on the Southern border. Jimmy Santiago Baca sends us on a journey with Sophia, an El Salvadorian mother facing a mountain of obstacles, carrying with her the burden of all that has come before: her husband’s murder, a wrenching separation from her young son at the border, then rape and abuse at the hands of ICE, yet persevering: “I keep walking/carrying you in my thoughts,” she repeats, as she wills her boy to know she is on a quest to find him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuba's cultural influence throughout the Western Hemisphere, and especially in the United States, has been disproportionally large for so small a country. This landmark volume is the first comprehensive overview of poetry written over the past sixty years. Presented in a beautiful Spanish-English en face edition, The Whole Island makes available the astonishing achievement of a wide range of Cuban poets, including such well-known figures as Nicolás Guillén, José Lezama Lima, and Nancy Morejón, but also poets widely read in Spanish who remain almost unknown to the English-speaking world—among them Fina García Marruz, José Kozer, Raúl Hernández Novás, and Ángel Escobar—and poets born since the Revolution, like Rogelio Saunders, Omar Pérez, Alessandra Molina, and Javier Marimón. The translations, almost all of them new, convey the intensity and beauty of the accompanying Spanish originals. With their work deeply rooted in Cuban culture, many of these poets—both on and off the island—have been at the center of the political and social changes of this tempestuous period. The poems offered here constitute an essential source for understanding the literature and culture of Cuba, its diaspora, and the Caribbean at large, and provide an unparalleled perspective on what it means to be Cuban.

Download or read book Latin American Writers on Gay and Lesbian Themes written by David William Foster and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1994-11-07 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gay and lesbian themes in Latin American literature have been largely ignored. This reference fills this gap by providing more than a hundred alphabetically arranged entries for Latin American authors who have treated gay or lesbian material in their works. Each entry explores the significance of gay and lesbian themes in a particular author's writings and closes with a bibliography of primary and secondary sources. The figures included have a professed gay identity, or have written on gay or lesbian themes in either a positive or negative way, or have authored works in which a gay sensibility can be identified. The volume pays particular attention to the difficulty of ascribing North American critical perspectives to Latin American authors, and studies these authors within the larger context of Latin American culture. The book includes entries for men and women, and for authors from Latin American countries as well as Latino writers from the United States. The entries are written by roughly 60 expert contributors from Latin America, the U.S., and Europe.
