A collection of poems by M. Miranda Maloney "The Lost Letters of Mileva (Albert Einstein's wife) are really those of many women, mothers, artists and intellects, who have been forgotten to history. They are also Maloney's letters to Mileva, insisting, as if to a kindred soul: "There was a story here." And that story is complex, teeming with the joys of love and connection to place, but also its difficulties." -Rosa Alcalá

Book of Poems by ELGA REÁTEGUI Translated by Alvaro Torres-Calderón

"Space is an abstract perception of the world around us. It evokes a sense of freedom and spaciousness, and it is defined by the human ability to move, by the spatial location of the body to objects. However, space is also a place where the shadow of reality dwells--the abstract perception of lived experiences.Space is filled with the unseen, like air and all that travels with it. To people living in the borderland desert, space is a place; it is home. Cracked Spaces draws from spaces of memory and its vastness to reconstruct a compact and straightforward narrative of poetry, rooted in geography, social justice, displacement, migration, and love, that informs a life of living in physical and construct borders. Within this space, the poetic voice moves, locating the cracks from which these poems emerge."--Amazon.com.

In An Exercise in the Darkness / Ejercicio en la oscuridad, Xánath Caraza has given us poems that vibrate on the page. The writer's ink, imbued with a throbbing life force, is barely contained by the white spaces that surround it. Nature envelopes her, speaks to and through her. Color, light, and sound play against each other. The world shifts between dark and light, between internal and external landscapes: gray skies over shimmering lakes; a blue dragon on the face of the moon; birds devouring her fears.Each of the 66 poems in this volume is dual in nature: first we encounter a poem in prose, followed by a very brief poem of no more than six short lines. In the prose poem, certain words and phrases are highlighted in bold; these become the text of the short poem that follows. The short poem - sometimes only one word - speaks to the subtext of the prose; it may crystallize, complement, or confront it.En Ejercicio en la oscuridad / An Exercise in the Darkness, Xánath Caraza nos ha dado poemas que vibran en la página. La tinta de la escritora, empapada con una palpitante fuerza vital, es apenas contenida por los espacios en blanco que la rodean. La naturaleza la envuelve, le habla a ésta y habla a través de ella. El color, la luz y el sonido se enfrentan uno al otro. El mundo se desplaza entre la oscuridad y la luz, entre los paisajes internos y externos: cielos grises sobre lagos resplandecientes; un dragón azul en la faz de la luna; aves devorando sus miedos.Cada uno de los 66 poemas en este volumen es dual en naturaleza: primero nos encontramos con un poema en prosa, seguido por un muy breve poema de no más de seis líneas cortas. En el poema en prosa algunas palabras y frases están resaltadas en negritas; éstas se convierten en el texto del poema corto que sigue. El poema corto-a veces sólo una palabra-habla al subtexto de la prosa; lo puede cristalizar, complementar o confrontar.
