Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head

Resumen del Ebook

'Warsan Shire is an extraordinarily gifted poet whose profoundly moving poems so powerfully give voice to the unspoken' Bernardine Evaristo Poems of migration, womanhood, trauma and resilience from the award-winning Somali British poet Warsan Shire, celebrated collaborator on Beyonce's Lemonade and Black Is King. With her first full-length poetry collection, Warsan Shire introduces us to a girl who, in the absence of a nurturing guide, makes her own stumbling way toward womanhood. Drawing from her own life and the lives of loved ones, as well as pop culture and news headlines, Shire finds vivid, unique details in the experiences of refugees and immigrants, mothers and daughters, Black women and teenage girls. These are noisy lives, full of music and weeping and surahs. These are fragrant lives, full of blood and perfume and jasmine. These are polychrome lives, full of moonlight and turmeric and kohl. The long-awaited collection from one of our most exciting contemporary poets is a blessing, an incantatory celebration of survival. Each reader will come away changed. 'Warsan Shire electrifies... The beautifully crafted poems in this collection are fiercely tender gifts' Roxane Gay

Amor Sin Tiempo

Todo comienza y todo acaba. Entre los puntos alfa y omega de nuestra vida podemos precisar dos etapas: una creciente y otra decreciente. Son las dos mitades que caracterizan todo proceso biológico. La ida crece hasta llegar al límite del proceso evolutivo. Luego comienza la involución. Como las fases de la luna: creciente, luna llena, decreciente, luna nueva. Así la vida.

Soy Bracero

Between 1942 and 1964, men from different parts of Mexico left their lands and families seeking an opportunity for prosperity in the Unites States as Braceros. Their job was to work the agricultural fields of the United States while American citizens manufactured weapons or joined the fighting lines of WWII. Braceros were instrumental in placing the U.S. as an agricultural power. While Braceros were in the U.S. they encountered poor working and living conditions, not to mention despotism, cruelty, and racism from foremen, ranchers, authorities, and residents of the United States alike.

Purgatorio

A new translation of Dante's Purgatorio that celebrates the human elements of the second part of The Divine Comedy. This is a bilingual edition with an illuminating introduction from the translator. Purgatorio, the middle section of Dante’s great poem about losing, and subsequently finding, one’s way in the middle of one’s life is, unsurprisingly, the beating heart of The Divine Comedy, as this powerful and lucid new translation by the poet D. M. Black makes wonderfully clear. After days spent plumbing the depths of hell, the pilgrim staggers back to the clear light of day in a state of ...
