Décima Luna es un libro sobre la maternidad, lo terrible y lo maravilloso de esta experiencia; un poemario que en palabras del poeta Marcos Silber: «arranca iluminado, continúa vigoroso y acaba como un renacimiento. Obra de entrega para que cada lector la viva como propia. Agua para el sediento, abrigo para el aterido, luz para el extraviado»

Anchored in many ways by the long poem «Cantata,» which chronicles her pregnancy and the birth of her son, the book turns and turns its kaleidoscopic lens, settling now on origins and creation myths, now on Greek or Welsh gods, now on a painting by Vermeer or on an...

David Biespiel�s long poetic lines crackle with rhythmic energy and a jazzy, bittersweet richness of language. Rolling out across the page like darkly luminous highways, his innovative, nine-line «American sonnets» promise adventure, offering a variant on the sonnet form that is both lyric and dramatic and bringing his masterful formal inventiveness to free verse. «I�ve come to imagine the nine-line sonnet to be like one of those classic Thunderbirds,» says Biespiel,...

Was, wenn du morgens in einem fremden Bett neben deinem Freund erwachst und er ist tot. Und was, wenn du keine Ahnung hast, was geschehen ist. Laura erwacht neben ihrem Freund, der erschlagen im Bett liegt. Verzweifelt versucht sie, sich an die vergangene Nacht zu erinnern.Doch weder Haralds Ex-Verlobte noch die Kripo nimmt ihr den Gedächtnisverlust ab.Der Verdacht gegen sie als Täterin erhärtet sich immer mehr.Verzweifelt ermittelt sie auf eigene Faust und kommt dem Mörder immer näher.

El pan en estas historias endulza un corazón roto, mitiga una ausencia, distingue una voz en la soledad y hace meditar, como si se tratara de algo religioso. En el fondo, el pan y la escritura son tentaciones irresistibles que nutren.

Weinrich's influential essay, now in its sixth printing in Germany, is presented here for the first time in English, with an...

Philosophers of Consciousness is both an expository study of the thought of the six figures it focuses on and an original exploration of the themes they address. In addition, as Eugene Webb states, «it does not hesitate to probe the more problematic areas of the thought of each thinker and to suggest what to some of their advocates will probably seem rather bold and controversial interpreations of their ideas.»The book reveals some deep differences that set the six off against one another in...

No todo es amor.Las cosas pasan por el tremor de la carne. Otro teje sus sueños en noches de insomnes. Yo tomo el cáliz amargo, ofrenda extraviada en infinitos nombres. Abro mi piel y no te hallo, sólo rumores de sangre, ecos ausentes.
