Mientras cae la ruina y otros poemas
Mientras cae la ruina y otros poemas
C. S. Lewis

La presente obra constituye la primera antología poética en lengua castellana de la que, sin duda, fue la faceta literaria menos conocida del escritor británico C.S. Lewis.
Se puede afirmar que Lewis se sintió poeta desde sus primeros impulsos literarios hasta el final de su vida. De hecho, sus primeros textos publicados bajo el seudónimo de Clive Hamilton fueron un pequeño tomo de versos titulado Spirits in Bondage (1919) y el largo poema narrativo Dymer (1926). De la misma manera, sus escritos autobiográficos o de carácter privado muestran que su vocación literaria fue, primera y esencialmente, una vocación poética y que ésta se mantuvo firme …

He visto salir el sol en invierno / I have seen the sun come out in winter. Antología / Anthology
Claudio Durán

Esta antología es una selección de los textos más representativos desde la perspectiva de su autor, reconocido poeta, académico e investigador. Y es además bilingüe, ya que Chile y Canadá son ámbitos geográficos diametralmente opuestos pero que conforman su doble espacio vital, experiencial e idiomático.

Destaca el papel primordial que la memoria tiene en esta obra, que despliega lo bucólico, el paraíso perdido, el illo témpore, pero también los paisajes urbanos pretéritos y actuales.

Prince of paranoia
Prince of paranoia
J.D. Lovegood

I am drowning here, you are just describing the water.

Like a mirror, a door to the world in a subjective way. With the belief that objectivity does not exist. Looking through the matrix, hooked to the machines. From outside he controls them, he enters the game but is not part of it. You enter to save the world from the virus, but sometimes you realize that you are the benign virus «in a polluted world».

Lamentations from Sikaman
Lamentations from Sikaman
James Amoateng
This wonderful anthology of poems, Lamentations from Sikaman, covers everything from day-to-day activities to the environment to relationships. The author asks, "Isn’t it strange that a path is smooth, but is still full of pits? But no, that is reality. It tells me about the complexities of life. Put simply, all that glitters is not gold." More precisely, one of the poems tells the tale of a man who leaves his wife for a younger woman. But the young lady screws up his life so badly and he wants to return to his wife. Lamentations, indeed.

A Life in Orbit
A Life in Orbit
Ken W. Simpson

In my first book of poetry and prose, The Learning Process, I explored many themes. For my second book, A Life in Orbit, I determined to try something novel and new: a biography in verse. It was a daunting project because I had to revisit my past and translate my thoughts and memories into a discipline of words, lines and verses. I was handicapped to an extent by the restraints imposed by the narrative style. I had to write truthfully, and without embellishment in four-line stanzas, within the time span and framework of eleven periods of my life. These periods …
