Al fin de decid salir del pas. Mis padres estuvieron de acuerdo, y sal para New York City el 4 de Julio de 1965. El primer trabajo decente que encontr fue en Bulova Watch Co.

Cuando nosotros nicaragenses nos invitaban a cualquier evento familiar, siempre, a como cualquier grupo tnico lo hace, se formaba un grupo para contar aventuras cuando vivamos en nuestra tierra.

Siempre haba una razn para rechazar mis anhelos. Algunos gerentes de libreras, no saban, y me aconsejaban que lo hiciera en el extranjero, como Colombia, Mjico, Espaa, Repblica Dominicana. Escriba cartas, llamaba por telfono a ciertos lugares que encontraba en las pginas amarillas. Nada encontraba. En Julio de 2010, mi esposa y yo, cambiamos de domicilio, y nos venimos a Virginia. Bueno, leyendo los peridicos dominicales, encontr lo que siempre buscaba. Palibrio, una publicadora en espaol, ofrecan lo que yo anhelaba. Bueno, y en eso estamos ahora.

A reference guide to the vast array of art song literature and composers from Latin America, this book introduces the music of Latin America from a singer's perspective and provides a basis for research into the songs of this richly musical area of the world. The book is divided by country into 22 chapters, with each chapter containing an introductory essay on the music of the region, a catalog of art songs for that country, and a list of publishers. Some chapters include information on additional sources. Singers and teachers may use descriptive annotations (language, poet) or pedagogical annotations (range, tessitura) to determine which pieces are appropriate for their voices or programming needs, or those of their students. The guide will be a valuable resource for vocalists and researchers, however familiar they may be with this glorious repertoire.

The first Latin American to receive a Nobel Prize for Literature, the Chilean writer Gabriela Mistral (1889-1957) is often characterized as a healing, maternal voice who spoke on behalf of women, indigenous peoples, the disenfranchised, children, and the rural poor. She is that political poet and more: a poet of philosophical meditation, self-consciousness, and daring. This is a book full of surprises and paradoxes. The complexity and structural boldness of these prose-poems, especially the female-erotic prose pieces of her first book, make them an important moment in the history of literary modernism in a tradition that runs from Baudelaire, the North American moderns, and the South American postmodernistas. It's a book that will be eye-opening and informative to the general reader as well as to students of gender studies, cultural studies, literary history, and poetry. This Spanish-English bilingual volume gathers the most famous and representative prose writings of Gabriela Mistral, which have not been as readily available to English-only readers as her poetry. The pieces are grouped into four sections. "Fables, Elegies, and Things of the Earth" includes fifteen of Mistral's most accessible prose-poems. "Prose and Prose-Poems from Desolación / Desolation [1922]" presents all the prose from Mistral's first important book. "Lyrical Biographies" are Mistral's poetic meditations on Saint Francis and Sor Juana de la Cruz. "Literary Essays, Journalism, 'Messages'" collects pieces that reveal Mistral's opinions on a wide range of subjects, including the practice of teaching; the writers Alfonso Reyes, Alfonsina Storni, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Pablo Neruda; Mistral's own writing practices; and her social beliefs. Editor/translator Stephen Tapscott rounds out the volume with a chronology of Mistral's life and a brief introduction to her career and prose.

Los siguientes fragmentos de esos poemas, muestran, como la vida diaria es nuestra principal fuente de inspiración. "El suave murmullo de tu voz me llama, Me invita al romance, cálido deleite, Tus manos ansiosas recorren mi cuerpo, Tus besos me incitan al gozo secreto." "En ese dulce manantial me embriago, Sabes cómo llevarme al desvarío, en ocasiones, dulce y apacible lago, o en tormentoso y desbordante río." "Acaricias mi piel de tal manera, Que mis fibras sensibles estremeces, Quiero tener y repetir sin una espera, hábil caricia con que me enloqueces."

En Poemas de escombros y cenizas, Consuelo Hernández, su autora, nos provee de una palabra urgida y urgente, incontenible. Se abalanza esta voz por el espacio injusto que descubre en todo lugar, y hecha grito recorre en busca de hacerse oír, en donde ya sabemos nadie oye. No le parece tarea perdida sino necesaria. Y va pues, a atravesarse en los carriles de lo que vislumbra es nuestra historia – un sartal de catástrofes que no nos deja en pie- a parar estos versos en alto, a hacer visible la alerta, con la ilusión de que alguien se detendrá. Sin duda, un libro con estas características es un libro necesario y urgente. Elvira Hernández Poeta chilena In Poems of Debris and Ashes, Consuelo Hernández, the author, provides us with critical, urgent, and irrepressible words. This voice balances on the injustice found everywhere and becomes a shout that, in search of being heard, travels to a place where we know no one hears it. Its effort is not wasted, but necessary. And so it goes, down the road of what seems to be our history—a string of catastrophes that knock us down— to put these verses on high, making the warning visible, with the hope that someone will pause. Without a doubt, a book with these characteristics is a much needed and urgent book. Elvira Hernández Chilean poet

Meets the needs of today's teachers and students Gathered to meet the upsurge of interest in Latin America, this collection features major critical articles dealing with the authors and texts customarily taught in colleges and universities in the United States. The articles are in English and Spanish, with a predominance of the former. Surveys a dynamic and exciting area of research Four Latin American writers have won the Nobel Prize for Literature: Guatemalan Miquel Angel Asturias, Chilean Gabriela Mistral, Colombian Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Chilean Pablo Neruda. Also internationally recognized are the Argentine Jorge Luis Borges, the Mexican Carlos Fuentes, and the Chilean Isabel Allende, to name only a few. Moreover, the sociopolitical circumstances of the past four decades of Latin American history, and the growing importance of the region have resulted in the creation of Latin American studies programs in numerous American universities. All of this literary activity hasinspired innumerable dissertations, theses, books, and journal articles. Explores contemporary Latin Americanissues and concerns In the face of such an enormous proliferation of commentary, students of Latin America and its literature need a body of basic texts that will provide them an orientation in the various research areas and new schools of thought that have emerged in the field. Particularly important are the essays and articles that have appeared in periodicals and other sources that Anglo American readers often find difficult to obtain.
