Consequences
Consequences is a compilation of ideas and re-interpretations from several sources of inspiration that lead me to reflect on some aspects of human behavior towards the community which in the end, can result in the deployment of a chaotic society, a society in which certain values and principles are disappearing rather than being re-invented and thus getting closer to a optimum state of life.
Looking for the Horse Latitudes
Poetry. Translated from the Spanish by the author. Latino/Latina Studies. LOOKING FOR THE HORSE LATITUDES is a stunning poetry collection from esteemed poet and translator Miguel Gonzalez-Gerth. Describing this bilingual volume as a laboratory in which a very interesting experiment has been carried out, Gonzalez-Gerth writes in both Spanish and English and moves deftly between the two languages, creating a voice both cosmopolitan and intensely Latin American. These poems offer the reader a world of oceanic beauty, an enchanting seascape of mermaids and shipwrecks, sirens and seabirds. Playful and profound in turns, Looking for the Horse Latitudes is a welcome contribution to this outstanding poet's body of work, and an important addition to any poetry collection.
Words of Fire
Words of Fire is a sophisticated and unique rendition of society and the human experience through rhythmic poetry. Some poems are short, though most are long. Some content is light, though most is heavy. It touches on the subjects of politics, culture, gangs, history, identity, the prison industry, God, racial dynamics in America, the economy, family, and much more. Although much of the content describes the problems of American society, Words of Fire also offers possible solutions and lessons we can learn from mistakes that have been made.
Between Day and Night
Miguel González-Gerth, an esteemed translator, poet, editor, and professor emeritus at the University of Texas at Austin, has been publishing his original English and Spanish poetry since 1946. Born in Mexico City in 1926, González-Gerth moved to the United States in 1940 and made it his permanent home. He received his B.A. from the University of Texas in 1950 and a PhD from Princeton in 1973, and taught at UT for over thirty years. Editor David Colón has compiled a selection of González-Gerth's poems that demonstrate the range of interests, themes, and styles that span more than a century of a life dedicated to Hispanic literature studies. Many of the poems appear with side-by-side translation, demonstrating not only the creativity born of a unique cultural perspective, but the profound understanding and commitment to the process of translation. Between Day and Night provides a record of González-Gerth's achievement as a poet and translator, a writer who stays true to the languages and poetic styles of Latin America and Anglo-America, and “work[s] with essentially two minds.”
Underground
"Underground" es una obra de teatro que se desarrolla en un escenario, no por cotidiano menos fascinante: una red de metro; y en concreto, la red de metro de Madrid. Con el sonido de fondo de una jauría que acecha en los túneles, y la impresión, hábilmente esbozada, de que “arriba” se ha convertido en un territorio hostil para quienes residen “abajo”, los personajes de esta obra, seres incompletos, marginados, absurdos, grotescos… van transitando de estación en estación, como en una danza disparatada, asesinando y siendo asesinados sin más sentido que el de la pura crueldad.Resulta inevitable, al reparar en el nombre de uno de los personajes: Orfeo, no ver "Underground" como una moderna trasposición del descenso a los infiernos, a ese espacio oscuro, iluminado solo a ráfagas, por el que vagabundean los que no tienen sitio en el mundo de la luz. Túneles, pasillos, galerías… sirven para levantar una metáfora sobrecogedora, manejada con el mayor pulso dramático por un autor que, entre otros premios (teatrales y cinematográficos) ha obtenido el premio Borne, el premio Lope de Vega y el Calderón de la Barca.
Terminal
Un espacio tan aséptico y neutral como la terminal de un aeropuerto es el escenario de esta obra de teatro. En ella se encuentran cuatro personajes (José, Madeleine, El barman y El hombre del perro) quienes, de pronto, sienten que sus vidas se entrelazan del mismo modo que los hacen las rutas aéreas según rezan los altavoces de la terminal con vuelos que despegan, aterrizan, pasan de largo e incluso vuelos que se acaban de estrellar. Como se ha estrellado el avión que tenían previsto tomar José y Madeleine: él, para resolver o enturbiar aún más sus problemas matrimoniales; ella, para adoptar un niño en un lejano país. Inscrito en un espacio onírico, superrealista, en el que las ...

Natural Selection
Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Miguel Gonzalez-Gerth. Does language have the power to express our perceptions, our emotions, our beliefs--our selves? Enrique Fierro addresses these seminal questions in the poems collected in NATURAL SELECTION. Using subtle wit Fierro constructs poetry that opens a world through infinite associations and connotations. Intense moments of heightened perception and fleeting instants of inner consciousness strive to regain the harmony of creation and the ancient interdependence of music and poetry lost in modernism. Presented here in a bilingual edition, NATURAL SELECTION is the first collection of this amazing poet's work available in English.
