Book Description
A San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of 2015 An NBC Latino Selection for Ten Great Latino Books Published in 2015 Arriving in Buenos Aires in 1913, with only a suitcase and her father’s cherished violin to her name, seventeen-year-old Leda is shocked to find that the husband she has travelled across an ocean to reach is dead. Unable to return home, alone, and on the brink of destitution, she finds herself seduced by the tango, the dance that underscores every aspect of life in her new city. Knowing that she can never play in public as a woman, Leda disguises herself as a young man to join a troupe of musicians. In the illicit, scandalous world of brothels and cabarets, the line between Leda and her disguise begins to blur, and forbidden longings that she has long kept suppressed are realized for the first time. Powerfully sensual, The Gods of Tango is an erotically charged story of music, passion, and the quest for an authentic life against the odds.

Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
Lucian Mattison's debut book of poetry, Peregrine Nation, won the 2014 Dogfish Head Poetry Prize. Set in Argentina and Chile, the collection centers around the exploration of identity in a multicultural family, and within shifting political and generational landscapes. [ Poetry / Travel / Awesome ] $15 5 x 7 100 Pages Perfect Bound Paperback Available in November 2017 More about Lucian over at his website here. Pre-order coming soon... "Lucian Mattison, who has lived in Brazil and Chile, takes on the role of a 'New World Vulture, ' observing the turbulent life around him. Knives, guns, riot police, and even earthquakes are common in the Santiago of his debut collection, but there is a sweetness and sensuality to be found there as well. If 'English is a way out / tongue in which we celebrate what we leave, ' Mattison's poems give us a way into the "culture of silence" he so skillfully describes and disturbs. Not since the publication of Carolyn Forche's The Country Between Us more than thirty years ago has a poet written more compellingly about events that most Americans would prefer to ignore." -Sue Ellen Thompson, editor, The Autumn House Anthology of American Poetry "In semi-documentary dramatic scenes, Lucian Mattison tells stories about a specific locale, a peregrine nation that I can think my way into, or sink into - an outlier's view of Argentina. His scenes remain in the mind because of each line of poetry, as Ezra Pound recommended, is written 'at least as well as prose.' Mattison's poetry masquerading as prose is generally straightforward but delivers sudden flips that transpose the reader to another level. He is a scrupulous poet who will engage readers with his bright, spontaneous, clear, never-strained, uncluttered, new voice." -Larry Woiwode, Poet Laureate of North Dakota and author of Even Tide

Voices of Time
Author: Eduardo Galeano
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1429900350
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
A striking mosaic of memories, observations, and legends that together reveal the author's own story and a grand, compassionate vision of life itself In this kaleidoscope of reflections, renowned South American author Eduardo Galeano ranges widely, from childhood to love, music, plants, fear, indignity, and indignation. In the signal style of his bestselling and much-admired Memory of Fire trilogy—brief fragments that build steadily into an organic whole—Galeano offers a rich, wry history of his life and times that is both calmly philosophical and fiercely political. Beginning with blue algae, the earliest of life forms, these 333 vignettes alight on the Galeano family's immigration to Uruguay in the early twentieth century, the fate of love letters intercepted by a military dictatorship, abuses by the rich and powerful, the latest military outrages, and the author's own encounters with all manner of living matter, including generals, bums, dissidents, soccer stars, ducks, and trees. Out of these meditations emerges neither anger nor bitterness, but a celebration of a blessed life in a harsh world. Poetic and passionate, scathing and lyrical, delivered with Galeano's inimitable mix of gentle comedy and fierce moral judgment, Voices of Time is a deeply personal statement from a great and beloved writer.
