Puerta del Sol
Este trabajo nos muestra una poes?a que viaja por dos mundos: California y Espa?a. Lo que transforma al libro en un trabajo bicultural. Los dos espacios f?sicos anteriormente nombrados, han sido parte importante en la vida del autor, porque uno es su pa?s natal y el otro su pa?s de residencia. Los temas que describe en este libro pertenecen a estos espacios geogr?ficos. El poeta nos hablar? de cosas generales, como el horror del terrorismo, pero tambi?n profundiza en cuestiones m?s personales por ejemplo el sentimiento de p?rdida. Adem?s de poeta, hace el trabajo de traductor, donde por primera vez incursiona en el tema biling?e y hace sus propias versiones espa?olas de los poemas aqu? retratados.

A moving album of poetic memories.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
If you like Cavafy, and I do, you will enjoy Aragon's poetry. These are poetic snapshots with depth. The specificity of the details (time, place, even the weather) gives the poems the authenticity of individual personal experience, but the emotional observations (love and loss, yearning and revulsion) speak to the universal human condition.
Stunning Little Mirrors Revealing Life's Complexities
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Francisco Aragon's verse has graced the pages of several chapbooks and innumerable literary journals not to mention anthologies published by W.W. Norton, Heyday Books and Soft Skull Press. Aragon is also the founding editor and publisher of Momotombo Press which promotes emerging Latino writers and is housed at the Institute for Latino Studies at the University of Notre Dame where Aragon is a Visiting Fellow. His talents at translation have been utilized for a half dozen books including those by the great Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca. Aragon's honors include an Academy of American Poets Prize and an AWP Intro Journals Project Award. With Puerta del Sol, Aragon offers us his first full-length book of poetry. And it is about time. Whether confronting terrorism on Spanish soil, memories of his late mother, or lamenting love lost, Aragon allows his images to travel from one continent to another, between English and Spanish, from hard, present tense reality to amorphous, malleable memory. Aragon's poems are stunning little mirrors that reveal the shimmering complexity of our lives and dreams. This is an eloquent collection that deserves attention.
