Description
The descendants of the Gaels are scattered far and wide across the world - a diaspora that is at once cherished and overlooked.

3110) Day Unto Day: Poems
Author
Description
This hauntingly spare and subtle poetry collection consists of six sequences: during one month each year, for six years, Martha Collins wrote a short poem each day. With perfectly distilled lines, she captures the aching, liminal beauty of one day becoming another-the slow burn of time passing, the ambiguity of an "old / new leaf" turning over, even as she collages a wide range of material that includes often disturbing news of the world.

Katie Vatour's extraordinary debut collection is an eclectic examination of the space where humans and animals meet, where migratory patterns encounter commercial flights, and birds appear as fishermen, security guards, and street performers. There are riffs on the chameleon and lyrebird, odes to buffalo and shark. With poems that are at once intuitive yet idiosyncratic, visceral yet cerebral, and that flourish an unconventional sense of effortless...

Encuentro en las escritoras y escritores mexicanos nacidos a partir de 1975 un ánimo liberado, es decir: "desgeneracionalizado", así como una no pertenencia a grupos y tendencias: se trata, por así decirlo, de islas bañadas por el mismo mar y con corrientes comunicantes. Algunos de ellos se refugian en el realismo, aunque su realidad está trastocada por la violencia a la que hemos sido condenados (Antonio Ortuño y Oswaldo Zavala; en otro sentido,...
