Elegy for Joseph Cornell
Elegy for Joseph Cornell is at once a monologue; a collection of metafictional microfictions; a series of prose poems; an artist's quest; the hero's journey; a filmography, biography, bibliography, and inventory; a travel scrapbook; and a guidebook for creativity. Argentinian writer María Negroni transcends form and genre as she explores, with both luminous and illuminating results, the life of Joseph Cornell, a solitary urban artist whose work also defied conventional classification.

Flame Trees in May
In her most experimental work to date, Karla Marrufo Huchim explores universal themes with appreciable specificity: loneliness, family angst, memory loss—from a perspective belonging singularly to a native of the Yucatán Peninsula. Mayo’s unnamed narrator is an older woman, isolated in her domestic life, who is both suffering from memory loss and intent on recounting the lives of three generations of her family. The Yucatán culture and community that Marrufo Huchim describes through her narrator’s fine but faltering mind will be foreign but not fetishized for American readers.
Winter Season
A journey into the darkest season where familial remembrance and longing become entangled in the memory of nature itself. A lyric on what truly binds us grounded in a distinctly Argentinian landscape, Winter Season is the first full-length English translation of poet and novelist Carolina Esses. "Has the birch abandoned its hope for snow? / Or is it imagining a more subtle form / of winter in the air?" This is a profoundly intimate book- of dissolving borders, grief, and ultimately solace and belonging, perfect for quiet reading on a melancholy winter afternoon.First published as Temporada de invierno by Bajo la luna in 2009, and shortlisted for the Olga Orozco Prize. We present the translation by Allison A. deFreese in a bilingual edition with photography by Argentinian artist Virginia Gauna Torres.
Soaring to New Heights
"How was it possible for thatthe little boy from a peasant family of migrant farmworkers - campesinos who had come from a small farming community in Ticuítaco. Michoacan, Mexico - would grow up to become an astronauts on the Space Shuttle Discovery? What are the steps to follow to become part of the world's most elite scientists and space pilots, despite all the odds being against this happening? How can someone achieve such a seemingly impossible dream? In this book I'm going to share my answers to those questions. I was certainly blessed by God. Also, I had pursued a clear plan for my future since I was a child, and this became the driving force behind my decisions. If you have a dream and want to achieve a major life goal, you may follow the strategy I used"--Page 4 of cover.
I Am Not That Body
In her succinct, richly imagistic poetry, Verónica González Arredondo explores the arid desert ecosystems in which she spent her childhood, as well as themes related to: immigration, social justice, femicide, perilous border crossings, and the vanishings of countless girls and women in northern Mexico who were making the journey across harsh terrain toward the United States border. She writes about extinction and survival, disappearing landscapes, displaced peoples, and the inhospitable climate-physically and politically-that remain in their wake. I Am Not That Body, is the first time her work has been translated into English.
