BY ONE WHO PASS’D FOR CHAMBERMAID: Poetry, by Ebenezer Cook
BY ONE WHO PASS’D FOR CHAMBERMAID By one who pass’d for Chamber-Maid. Tho’ by her loose and sluttish Dress, She rather seem’d a Bedlam-Bess. Curious to know from whence she came, I prest her to declare her Name. She Blushing, seem’d to hide her Eyes, And thus in Civil Terms replies: In better Times, e’er to this Land, I was …

NOT ALL ENDS: Poetry, by Fina GarcÃa Marruz
NOT ALL ENDS Not everything ends. It all starts as a whimper. It all begins, and with reddened eyes. Ah, father. Pain generates. I love sleeping on a leaf. Enchantment blue is love. Red carnation as exploding in the shadows, pale, ardent love is. It all begins. At times, breaking the mass of clouds, the penalty had so hoped. Will …

GUANTANAMERA Yo soy un hombre sincero, de donde crece la palma, y antes de morirme quiero echar mis versos del alma. Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera, mi verso es de un verde claro, y de un carmin encendido. Mi verso es un ciervo herido, que busca en el monte amparo. Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera, cultivo una rosa blanca, en Julio como en Enero, …

BLOOD: Poetry, by Carmen Boullosa
BLOOD If it is the moon that governs the tides, what strange star controls the blood of our two different bodies? It is a star that your eyes can not see, not even mine, it lives hidden by the moon and the sun. His subject cruel plays with the signs of its particles, without fear to get in danger of …

JUEGAS TODOS LOS DIAS CON LA LUZ DEL UNIVERSO Juegas todos los dÃas con la luz del universo. Sutil visitadora, llegas en la flor y en el agua.

SMELL OF RAIN: Poetry, by Rodolfo Alonso
SMELL OF RAIN The air door suddenly memories from oblivion, with horizon flavor, wet grass and absence. Diffuse color and sharp, almost like masterless, mask or inhabitant, limpid workforce, highly ethereal. Spirits, spirit, traces of memory that runs in his blank saturated: fires, bodies, the, tracks, words.

FICTIONS A collection of stories, words coming from a time long gone, but the two sides in which the book is divided (The Garden of Forking Paths, and artifices). By reading, you will discover that we live postponing everything that can be put off, imagining new pages where “think” is to forget differences, to generalize and abstract, between the scent …
