Cielo nocturno con heridas de fuego
Author: Cielo nocturno con heridas de fuego
Author: Ocean VuongPublisher: Vaso Roto Ediciones
ISBN: 8412214684
Category : Poetry
Languages : es
Pages : 187
Book Description
Erudito, delicado, desgarrador, Vuong enraíza su poesía en el mito grecolatino y la combina con la musicalidad de su Vietnam natal para abordar, con un coraje lleno de belleza, el exilio, la guerra y la homofobia. Escribe con la humildad y el orgullo de quien se sabe el primer alfabetizado en una familia en la que la poesía siempre fue oral y demuestra su amor por la lengua y el país que le sirvieron de refugio. Pero no por ello deja de manifestar extrañeza. Vuong escribe como inmigrante, refugiado y homosexual en una América marcada por el prejuicio y los traumas de una guerra sin la cuál no hubiera nacido, pero que le marcó con el estigma del exiliado.

Time Is a Mother
Author: Ocean VuongPublisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0593300246
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
The New York Times-bestselling collection of poems from the award-winning writer Ocean Vuong "Take your time with these poems, and return to them often.” —The Washington Post How else do we return to ourselves but to fold The page so it points to the good part In this deeply intimate second poetry collection, Ocean Vuong searches for life among the aftershocks of his mother’s death, embodying the paradox of sitting within grief while being determined to survive beyond it. Shifting through memory, and in concert with the themes of his novel On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous, Vuong contends with personal loss, the meaning of family, and the cost of being the product of an American war in America. At once vivid, brave, and propulsive, Vuong’s poems circle fragmented lives to find both restoration as well as the epicenter of the break. The author of the critically acclaimed poetry collection Night Sky With Exit Wounds, winner of the 2016 Whiting Award, the 2017 T. S. Eliot Prize, and a 2019 MacArthur fellow, Vuong writes directly to our humanity without losing sight of the current moment. These poems represent a more innovative and daring experimentation with language and form, illuminating how the themes we perennially live in and question are truly inexhaustible. Bold and prescient, and a testament to tenderness in the face of violence, Time Is a Mother is a return and a forging forth all at once.
Transvestism, Masculinity, and Latin American Literature
Author: B. Sifuentes-JáureguiPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 0230107281
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
This book is about transvestism and the performance of gender in Latin American literature and culture. Ben. Sifuentes-Jáuregui explores the figure of the transvestite and his/her relation to the body through a series of canonical Latin American texts. By analyzing works by Alejo Carpentier, José Donoso, Severo Sarduy and Manuel Puig (author of Kiss of the Spiderwoma n), alongside critical works in gender studies and queer theory, Sifuentes-Jáuregui shows how transvestism operates not only to destabilize, but often to affirm sexual, gender, national and political identities.
The Twilight of the Avant-garde
Author: Jonathan MayhewPublisher: Liverpool University Press
ISBN: 1846311837
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
Twilight of the Avant-Garde addresses the central problem of contemporary Spanish poetry: the attempt to preserve the scope and ambition of modernist poetry at the end of the twentieth century. Offering a critical analysis of Luis Garcìa Montero’s “poetry of experience,” and the work of José Angel Valente and Antonio Gamoneda, among others, Mayhew challenges received notions about the value of poetic language in relation to the society and culture at large. Ultimately championing the survival of more challenging and ambitious modes of poetic writing in the postmodern age, this volume argues that the cultural ambition of modernist poetics remains alive and well in our age of cynicism.
Brücke

Author: Igshaan Adams
Author: Hendrik FolkertsPublisher: Art Institute of Chicago
ISBN: 9780300263855
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
A timely exploration of the allusive, sculptural fiber work of an important contemporary South African artist The book presents an early career survey of the work of Cape Town-based artist Igshaan Adams (b. 1982), showcasing his multimedia practice since 2009. In addition to exploring recurring motifs in his work--Arabic calligraphy, the rose, the (self-)portrait, Sufi symbols, and pathways literal and metaphorical--the publication highlights some of Adams's material concerns, including his sculptural applications of weaving, his embrace of recycled materials related to black South African domesticity and interiority, and his use of the gallery wall and floor in installations. Hendrik Folkerts surveys the artist's recent work, addressing its engagement with presence, absence, and the trace.. Adams himself offers a visual essay enabling readers to see details they would be imperceptible in a gallery setting. In shorter essays and poetic texts, the other authors focus on the South African historical and political context, specific artworks, and particular creative strategies, materialities, and narratives.
