Book Description
A Blind Salmon engages in Julia Wong Kcomt's characteristically unflinching plumbing of the human body and traces fanged emotions with sticky precision, exploring mothering, multilinguality, and madness. Tusán writer Julia Wong Kcomt’s sixth collection of poetry, A Blind Salmon is her first full-length collection available in English. Written while she was living in Buenos Aires, the collection crosses borders between Berlin, Buenos Aires, Chepén, Tijuana, and Vienna. It takes up sameness and difference, shot through with desert sand. In these poems, Wong Kcomt renders homage to writers such as the Peruvian poet and visual artist Jorge Eduardo Eielson, who died in Milan as she was writing them. She fingers the filmy line between poetry and narrative prose to build a lyrical menagerie all her own.

Book Description
Memorias from the Beltway is our first FlowerSong Press joint publication and the fourth Red Salmon Press full-length book dedicated to poetry illuminating the words and verses of nascent and established Chicanx/ Latinx/Native American writers. Through our respective presses, we seek to rupture the hierarchical ways traditional modes of publishing insist upon only celebrating the works of the most widely-recognized or prolific authors and marginalizing the leading voices of Chicanx/ Latinx/Native American/POC communities that are constantly innovating and creating. As Red Salmon Press, we are proud that Mauricio Novoa's provocative collection centers on the Central American experience. After over two decades, we are fulfilling a mandate to fully embrace that panoply of Chicanx/Latinx/Native American literary perspectives, which are integral to (re)defining who and what we are. In this work, we are held at attention to listen and contend with themes of working class survivalism and ingenuity, spiritual tenacity, hip hop articulations, and el exilio via the poems of Mauricio, and his generation, to disrupt our own understandings of plural Latinidad. Poems such as "Happy Meals" to "Memorias from the Beltway" encapsulate nuances about salvadoreño masculinity through imagery of everyday forms of violence and resistance marking a thread between state-sponsored, insurgent, street sites for these expressions. Other pieces demonstrate a quiet invocation of memory, place, and intergenerationality that transports us to the perennial beats of the East Coast and prayers of abuelas. Last, the layers of familial strife, bonds, and strength depicted are a subtle ode to Mauricio's immigrant parents that is neither nostalgic nor cloying. Twenty-five years after the publication the East of the Freeway by raúlrsalinas, Memorias from the Beltway is a much needed repuesta to the recollections, which raúl explores in another time of vast global, sociopolitical transformation and popular, grassroots uprisings. The intimate manner in which both Mauricio and raúl communicate the soulfulness of our rebellion through sparse and intentional words is certainly one point of commonality. Their love of la vida cotidiana is another moment of intersection. Undoubtedly, it is in these small acts of calling our existence that we persevere. Memorias from the Beltway implores us to dwell in these remembrances, mourn our losses, and honor the words we carve out as "lifelines." -Lilia Rosas, Ph.D. Executive Director, Red Salmon Arts Osten, Tejaztlán, Otoño 2020

Book Description
Birnam Wood embodies the self in the world of myth with its attendant themes of tragedy and fate. If the water of exile is longing, the cup brims over in these sun-shattered works of diaspora. Cardona is an essential twentieth-century Spanish poet. His poems journey toward an ever-receding home.-Marsha de la O.

Book Description
Mi Vida...en uniforme in English means My Life ...in uniform and is a sequel to my first book titled Mi Calle, Mi Barrio ,Mi Pueblo which again translated to English means My Street, My Neighborhood, My Town. Each one of those books narrates a distinct phase of my life with all the anecdotes , persons , and situations that formed me as a person. Mi Vida starts where Mi Calle ends and walks the reader while having a conversation, as good friends do, through my life as a college student and then as a United States Army Officer for twenty one years which included a war , Viet Nam, and a series of very challenging and most of them rewarding tours of duty around the world. Those years were not easy but they gave me a profound insight into life and those instances ,some very happy and some very sad , are the ones that I wish to share with the reader. Take this walk with me and please feel free to join in the conversation. Un abrazo, Luis.

Book Description
In Muslims in Spain, 1492-1814: Living and Negotiating in the Land of the Infidel, Eloy Martín-Corrales surveys Hispano-Muslim relations from the late fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries, a period of chronic hostilities. Nonetheless there were thousands of Muslims in Spain at that time: ambassadors, exiles, merchants, converts, and travelers. Their negotiating strategies, and the necessary support they found on both shores of the Mediterranean prove that relations between Spaniards and Muslims were based on reasons of state and on a pragmatism that generated intense political and economic ties.These increased enormously after the peace treaties that Spain signed with Muslim countries between 1767 and 1791.

Book Description
Ms. Aurora Bourne would do anything to protect her students from harm … even if that means going up against the most powerful corporation on the planet. While getting her fourth grade classroom ready for Fall, Aurora begins to feel sick, and it’s more than back-to-school blues. Outside her windows next to the playground, strawberry fields have just been fumigated and pesticides are drifting into the classrooms, causing serious health issues for children and adults. When the teenage sister of a migrant student goes missing from the strawberry fields, it becomes clear that pesticide poisoning isn’t the only thing threatening the children’s safety, and Aurora begins to understand why farmworkers call strawberries Fruta del Diablo — the Fruit of the Devil. Aurora starts asking questions and gets caught in a web of gangs, drugs, trafficking, and high-level corporate crime. When a Catholic priest comes to her aid, she falls in love with him, complicating her life further. She has no idea he’s actually an ancient nature god out of Pacific Coast indigenous legends.

Book Description
Durante un siglo, Villa Vistamar ha reinado como el mejor internado católico para jovencitas en los Estados Unidos; sus sacrosantos edificios han sido un hogar para inumerables numerosas jovencitas ¿peculiarmente, hijas de familias millonarias, y políticamente vulnerables¿ originarias de países extranjeros. Juntas de nuevo, durante una reunión de su generación, dos viejas amigas y compañeras del internado, aún intrigadas por los misterios del histórico convento donde vivieron su juventud, se empeñan en descubrir tanto los secretos de la vieja hacienda del suroeste, como la relación tan extraña entre las Hermanas de Santo Tomás y su benefactor.Convencidas de que descubrirían la clave del misterio en los viejos y macabros baúles que las monjas guardan en el sótano del convento, incursionan furtivamente, al amparo de la oscuridad nocturna, a las catacumbas de la antigua abadía, quedando literalmente atrapadas en un callejón sin salida; envueltas en una historia de intriga eclesiástica de la cual no existe escapatoria otra que descubrir la verdad.Varios encuentros terroríficos con los Guardianes de la Iglesia, que protegen los secretos que las mujeres han resuelto descifrar; así como la muerte de una anciana monja, anteriormente Madre Superiora de la Congregación, las llevan al descubrimiento de un escondrijo que guarda un millonario tesoro de un valor incalculable y que protege un tesoro aún mayor: un secreto que la Iglesia ha ocultado del mundo durante las últimas nueve décadas de la historia de Europa Oriental, bajo el código eclesiástico de Salve Regina.
