Yo le he dicho ¡sí! al amor
by Liliana Rodriguez Bernal¿Es posible sobrevivir a la locura intensa del amor? «Yo le he dicho ¡sí! al amor esculpe y ordena pensamientos, sentimientos y emociones. Su lectura, hecha pausadamente, en voz alta y con los ojos del alma nos adentra, con su ritmo y cadencia, en la danza de la imaginación poética o en los sueños de los enamorados que nos transportan a un mágico lugar, sumergiéndonos en ese mar idílico de pasiones, unas veces tranquilas y otras tormentosas, donde brotan sentimientos cual lágrimas, de felicidad o de tristeza, por aquello del amor o del desamor, de la ilusión o la melancolía, de la soledad o la compañía, de la muerte o la vida...»Miguel Bejarano Corchuelo

Yo siempre regreso a los pezones y al punto 7 del Tractatus
by Agustín Fernández MalloAgustín Fernández Mallo deconstruye, a través de su inconfundible y plástica prosa poética, la ruptura de una pareja. «Recluido en un hotel de una isla mediterránea, el hombre recuerda los avatares de aquel amor. Se despliega, así, un abanico de fotografías verbales, que se engarzan en las páginas como cuentas en el hilo de la memoria.»Eduardo Moga Un gin con limón. Una habitación de hotel. Una isla mediterránea. Un tipo al que su chica ha abandonado creyendo que una casa no agota todos los mapas. Y un monigote atornillado a la puerta del lavabo que no deja de hablar y que, en su largo monólogo existencial, aúna literatura, la belleza del caos que se extiende ante la ausencia infinita, con ciencia, la fría rigurosidad carnívora del número exacto, del azar entendido como obra de arte que se decapita a sí misma a cada instante. Agustín Fernández Mallo deconstruye, a través de su inconfundible y plástica prosa poética, la ruptura de una pareja, arrojando puñados de polaroids verbales ante el lector, asomándose al abismo del terrorífico, por simple, por vacío, mundo real. Un universo cuyos límites están definidos por el lenguaje, como dejó claro el filósofo Ludwig Wittgenstein, cuyo Tractatus homenajea, desde el título, este deliciosamente crudo texto: las palabras son armas que, al dispararse, dibujan la frontera entre lo que existe y lo que no existe porque simplemente no puede nombrarse. Brillante reflexión (físico) metalingüística sobre lo paradójico de la existencia.

You Can Be the Last Leaf: Selected Poems
by Maya Abu Al-HayyatTranslated from the Arabic and introduced by Fady Joudah, You Can Be the Last Leaf draws on two decades of work to present the transcendent and timely US debut of Palestinian poet Maya Abu Al-Hayyat. Art. Garlic. Taxis. Sleepy soldiers at checkpoints. The smell of trash on a winter street, before “our wild rosebush, neglected / by the gate, / blooms.” Lovers who don’t return, the possibility that you yourself might not return. Making beds. Cleaning up vomit. Reading recipes. In You Can Be the Last Leaf, these are the ordinary and profound—sometimes tragic, sometimes dreamy, sometimes almost frivolous—moments of life under Israeli occupation. Here, private and public domains are inseparable. Desire, loss, and violence permeate the walls of the home, the borders of the mind. And yet that mind is full of its own fierce and funny voice, its own preoccupations and strangenesses. “It matters to me,” writes Abu Al-Hayyat, “what you’re thinking now / as you coerce your kids to sleep / in the middle of shelling”: whether it’s coming up with “plans / to solve the world’s problems,” plans that “eliminate longing from stories, remove exhaustion from groans,” or dreaming “of a war / that’s got no war in it,” or proclaiming that “I don’t believe in survival.” In You Can Be the Last Leaf, Abu Al-Hayyat has created a richly textured portrait of Palestinian interiority—at once wry and romantic, worried and tenacious, and always singing itself.

So when you hear of a civilian pilot training program at Tuskegee Institute, you leap at the chance. Soon you are learning engineering and mechanics, how to communicate in code, how to read a map. At last the day you've longed for is here: you are flying! From training days in Alabama to combat on the front lines in Europe, this is the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, the groundbreaking African-American pilots of World War II.

You Can Make Anything Sad
by Adam Robinson<P>Poetry.

You Can Still Go to Hell, and Other Truths About Being a Helping Professional
by David MoreauFrom the back cover: Reading this collection while drinking bad coffee in a cheap motel room, I was struck by Moreau's honesty and humor These poems are irreverent, funny and provocative, raising important questions. Like, Why is no one recording staff's bowel movements? My coffee began tasting better, and I decided that everyone in the world should buy this book. Peter Leidy. Singer/Activist, author of Greetings from Human Service Land Read these poems. They pull no poetic punches, recording the skirmishes between human empathy and the institutions set up to organize it. David Moreau. with his eagle eye and his ear for the music of speech, details the clash between system and soul, fellow feeling and bureaucratic b.s. His clients may be limited in some ways, but in Moreau's fast-paced colloquial narratives, their humanity is heartbreakingly clear. And that clarity, mixed with edgy humor and affection, is cause for gratitude and hope. Betsy Sholl. Poet Laureate of Maine This is a wonderful (please buy it) collection. David Moreau doesn't waste a single word on setting or scenery, but I can tell you, I can draw a picture. This is a place for which a Holiday Inn architect phoned in the design, with each room having no egress to fresh air. This is no-exit land, but each resident has a personality and character and style. There are real people here and God bless them all. Bravo, Dave!

You Haven't Asked About My Wedding or What I Wore: Poems of Courtship on the American Frontier
by Jana Harris“Nowhere / on these parchment leaves do I find / myself, my likeness, my name, / not a whisper—Cynthia—not one / breath of me.” For thirty years poet Jana Harris researched the diaries and letters of North American pioneer women. While the names and experiences of the authors varied, Harris found one story often connected them: their most powerful memories were of courtships and weddings. They dreamed of having a fine wedding while they spent their lives hauling water, scrubbing floors, and hoping for admirers. Many married men they hardly knew. Based on primary research of nineteenth-century frontier women, Harris uses her compelling poetry to resurrect a forgotten history. She captures the hope, anxiety, anger, and despair of these women through a variety of characters and poetic strategies, while archival photographs give faces to the names and details to the settings. Harris’s meticulous research and stirring words give these pioneer women a renewed voice that proves the timelessness of the hopes and fears of love and marriage.
You Kiss by th' Book: New Poems from Shakespeare's Line
by Gary SotoIn his engaging new collection, National Book Award finalist Gary Soto creates poems that each begin with a line from Shakespeare and then continue in Soto's fresh and accessible verse. Drawing on moments from the sonnets, Hamlet, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet, and others, Soto illuminates aspects of the source material while taking his poems in directions of their own, strategically employing the color of "thee" and "thine," kings, thieves, and lovers. The results are inspired, by turns meditative, playful, and moving, and consistently fascinating for the conversation they create between the Bard's time and language and our own here and now.
