Little Joy
The best of contemporary Argentine author Cecilia Pavón's short stories. Poet, writer and translator Cecilia Pavón emerged in the late 1990s as one of the most prolific and central figures of the young Argentine literary scene--the so-called "Generation of the 90s": artists and writers whose aesthetics and politics were an earnest response to the disastrous impact of American-exported neoliberal policies and the resulting economic crisis of 2001. Their publications were fragile--xeroxed, painted on cardboard--but their cultural impact, indelible. A cofounder of Buenos Aires's independent art space and publishing press Belleza y Felicidad--where a whole generation of soon-to-be-famous Argen...
Belleza Y Felicidad
Poetry. Fiction. Art. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Stuart Krimko. As the Argentine economy went into freefall at the end of the last millennium, two young women--Fernanda Laguna and Cecilia Pavón--met and became friends. Fernanda, a painter and poet who also publishes fiction under the nom de plume Dalia Rosetti, and Cecilia, a poet and translator, soon forged the radically creative partnership now known as Belleza y Felicidad. As Belleza emerged into a movement and inspired a community, Fernanda and Cecilia broadcast its ethos--a complete program of resistance, as César Aira once described it--through a prodigious output of poetry and fiction. Now a generous selec...
Nine Ways to Cry
NINE WAYS TO CRY collects Cecilia Pavón's complete poetry published from 1999 to 2012. Nine Ways to Cry collects Cecilia Pavón's complete poetry published from 1999 to 2012 in one bilingual volume for the first time, including A Hotel With My Name, Licorice Candies, and other beloved classics. Prefaced by a loving foreword from contemporary US poet Dorothea Lasky, this collection serves as the definitive introduction to the poetry of a living legend. "I love the way that Pavón probes the ordinary until it's no longer banal."--Chris Krause "Poetry that is singular, pressurized, and like no one else's writing today."--Dorothea Laskey Poetry. Latinx Studies.
Licorice Candies
Poetry. Fiction. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Jacob Steinberg. Bilingual Edition. This is the second book in a series of the complete works of Cecilia Pavón that Scrambler will publish over the next several years. LICORICE CANDIES collects short stories and poems written during the author's most experimental and frenzied phase. The backdrop shifts from barren plazas in Buenos Aires to basement parties in Berlin. "I wished that, by continually moving horizontally, in a straight line, my body would touch Germany... that you could reach Berlin from Buenos Aires in a second without any planes; that all the coolest cities in the world were each a continuation of the next: Lima, Buenos Aires, Berlin." The medium through which these desires manifest is the Internet. The Internet--a ubiquitous force that becomes the notebook for the author's poetry: typo-ridden love letters; the grammarless confessions of a polyglot; a geography that bends to the author's will, making everything closer, more intimate.
A Hotel with My Name
Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Jacob Steinberg. Bilingual Edition. A HOTEL WITH MY NAME contains the collected poetry of Cecilia Pavón originally published in Spanish in Argentina and translated expertly by Jacob Steinberg. This book is the first book in a 3 part series of the work of Cecilia Pavón that will be published by Scrambler Books and translated by Jacob Steinberg by the end of 2016.

She takes a short leave from her job at one of New York's leading auction houses and follows her best friend Gretchen on an impromptu trip to Paris. While there, she confronts her late mother's hidden life, attempts to rein in Gretchen's encounters with an aloof and withholding sometime-boyfriend, and faces the traumatic loss of both her parents when she was a teenager.

Women in Concrete Poetry 1959-1979
A massive, groundbreaking, international anthology of concrete poetry by women, from Mira Schendel to Susan Howe This expansive volume is the first collection of concrete poetry by women, with artists and poets from the US, Latin America, Europe and Japan, whose work departs from more programmatic approaches to the genre. Their word-image compositions are unified by an experimental impetus and a radical questioning of the transparency of the word and its traditional arrangement on the page. Owing, perhaps, to the fact that concrete poetry's attempt to revolutionize poetry foregrounded the male-dominated channels in which it circulated, some of the women in this volume--Ilse Garnier or Giulia...
Little Man, Little Man
Now available for the first time in nearly 40 years. Baldwin's only children's book follows the day-to-day life of four-year-old TJ and his friends in their Harlem neighborhood as they encounter the social realities of being black in America in the 1970s. Full color.
Ambient Technology
"Ambient Technology excavates the silver lining of a dream which has been lost. Ashley Obscura's second collection of poetry takes us to a place where time slows down long enough for light to retain form. A meditation on the emergency of intimacy and connection, this collection deconstructs narratives of love and belonging to land amongst new modes of being and belonging in the world."--
