Things learned on Capitol Hill: 1) good ideas and easy options are not the same thing… 2) difficulty is not failure; it serves to illuminate the landscape, so we can better find the right way forward… 3) some problems are bigger than our awareness; we should keep this in mind… 4) where our awareness fails, we have room to grow… 5) […] View

Poesía en Villanova: Antología del Festival de Poesía 2010
Carlos Trujillo, Joseph Robertson, compiladores
1ª edición: 25 marzo 2010
ISBN: 978-0877230861

En Villanova, cada noche de lunes, la palabra sencilla y poderosa emprende su vuelo sin encender motores y no para de revolotear, de elevarse y planear como gaviota luminosa sobre la noche siempre cálida de la hermandad poética reunida en la mesa del Taller Literario Pinzon 9. La idea de un día dedicado a la poesía se transformó en dos días de poesía, y en un par de semanas había comenzado a tomar forma un festival que ocuparía todo un fin de semana. Así nació este festival y la presente antología de colaboradores. [Más información...]

Palabras / Words
by Carlos Trujillo
Joseph Robertson, translator
1ª edición: 25 marzo 2010
ISBN: 978-0877230878

But none of these alone makes the poet, or the poem. In this bilingual edition of Carlos Trujillo’s Palabras, his first collection to be published in English, the award-winning Chilean poet offers the reader a hands-on experience of the creative work of the poet, and by his elegant, melodic approach, suggests a more intimate understanding of what poetry is and how it comes to draw breath.
