Río Es Ancho
This bilingual anthology of contemporary Mexican poetry reflects a broad continuum of styles and offers generous selections from the writings of 20 poets. "I can't recommend it highly enough."--Luis Alberto Urrea, author of "The Devil's Highway."
Connecting Lines
"Since the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, the United States and Mexico have been inextricably linked. The blending of the American and Mexican cultures has enriched both nations. Through a partnership to promote wider access to literary voices of Mexican artists in the U.S. and American writers in Mexico, the National Endowment for the Arts, the United States Embassy in Mexico, and the National Autonomous University of Mexico have joined together to support a program of anthology publications and public outreach activities. The two-volume set-Lineas conectadas: nueva poesia de los Estados Unidos and Connecting Lines: New Poetry from Mexico-is the first installment in the series. With definitive translations by leading writers and scholars, these dual volumes offer a glimpse into the beauty of the Mexican and the American experience through the microscopic lens of poetry. Whether read for personal pleasure or classroom study, Lineas conectadas and Connecting Lines are a must-read for anyone curious of our ever-increasing multicultural identity."--Publisher's website.
The Poetry of Men's Lives
Alive with the wisdom, artistry, and emotion of more than 250 poets from nearly one hundred countries, this anthology celebrates the multifaceted experience of contemporary manhood. The lives into which these poems invite us reveal the influences of culture, heredity, personal experience, values, beliefs, wishes, desires, loves, and betrayals. Men are notoriously reluctant to open up and discuss these things; and yet when they do--as in these poems--they tell us about their families, lovers, relationships, political and religious beliefs, sexuality, and childhoods. There is much to learn here about who men are and how they see their worlds. Collects close to three hundred poems, in English o...
Dude Lit
How did men become the stars of the Mexican intellectual scene? Dude Lit examines the tricks of the trade and reveals that sometimes literary genius rests on privileges that men extend one another and that women permit. The makings of the “best” writers have to do with superficial aspects, like conformist wardrobes and unsmiling expressions, and more complex techniques, such as friendship networks, prizewinners who become judges, dropouts who become teachers, and the key tactic of being allowed to shift roles from rule maker (the civilizado) to rule breaker (the bárbaro). Certain writing habits also predict success, with the “high and hard” category reserved for men’s writing and ...
Humanities
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon became the editor in 2000. The subject categories for Volume 58 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Humanities Art History (including ethnohistory) Literature (including translations from the Spanish and Portuguese) Philosophy: Latin American Thought Music
Historia mínima de la literatura mexicana en el siglo XX
El corpus textual que llamamos literatura mexicana es enormemente rico y puede hacer perderse a cualquiera; este libro aspira a ser una guía, compañero de viaje al que se puede recurrir cuando un rumbo incierto se vuelve ya pérdida del camino, no busca ser el único recorrido, expectativa absurda, pero tampoco a ser uno más entre el infinito abanico de opciones.
Poesía como exilio. En los límites de la comunicación
Poesía como exilio. En los límites de la comunicación constituye una exploración de determinadas escrituras poéticas contemporáneas como discursos en exilio, estructurados sobre una distancia con respecto a las formas hegemónicas de comunicación. La cuestión, sin embargo, no se agota en unas implicaciones formales y supone una revisión radical del sentido del compromiso poético. Una poesía en exilio replantea su vínculo con la sociedad de la que es producto, estableciendo una relación crítica con respecto a las interpretaciones más habituales sobre la realidad histórico-social. La regularidad de cierto exilio comunicacional interroga acerca de otro mundo posible y otras formas de convivencia humana, aun si ello exige desplazarse hasta los límites de lo indecible.
Dickinson en nuestra lengua:
Al tiempo que Emily Dickinson se hacía sitio “entre los mejores poetas de la lengua”, su obra empezaba a trascender los linderos de la anglofonía. Desde entonces, apenas un libro y un puñado de publicaciones aisladas se habían dado a la tarea de investigar el desarrollo, las condiciones y las vicisitudes de la recepción internacional de la famosa reclusa de Amherst, así como el camino transitado en pos de su adopción y reconocimiento en culturas lejanas a la suya y por medio de un proceso —la traducción— que altera y reconstituye la materia misma de su obra creativa. Con todo, el primer libro dedicado a tratar, con amplitud, sensibilidad y perspicacia, su importación y tradu...
Elias Nandino
Though Latin America has a strong tradition of poetry, many of its best poets remain untranslated in the United States. Elias Nandino (1900-1993) was a Mexican poet who made his living as a surgeon and physician. He published twenty volumes of poetry in his lifetime, work often focused on solitude, eroticism, and love. In recognition of his dedication to teaching and assisting young writers, the National Young Poets Prize in Mexico is named in his honor. This is the first book-length English translation of Nandino's poetry.
