Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first Spanish/English bilingual anthology of contemporary Costa Rican poetry ever published. It contains a careful selection of poetry published since 1990, and includes Costa Rica's finest poets and most representative current trends. Although not well known outside Costa Rica, this is outstanding poetry due not only to its thematic and stylistic variety, but also to its integration of the main tendencies of contemporary Spanish-language poetry. Victor S. Drescher's painstaking work translating the cultural, linguistic and stylistic features of the originals has made it possible for the English reader to recreate the essential aspects of the world-view that these poems reflect and represent. This anthology makes a substantial contribution to the world of letters by enabling English readers to become familiar with a representative sample of Costa Rican poetry in particular, and with Latin American poetry in general.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book you hold in your hands is an interdisciplinary study on diaspora literacy in Afro-Central America. An exploration through various imaginings of times past, this study is concerned with how oxymoron, metonymy, and multilingualism deploy pluricentrical belonging. By exploring the interlocking of multiple roots that have developed on account of routes, rhizomatic historical imaginations are unearthed here so as to imagine an other Costa Rica. A Black Costa Rica.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 2017 CantoMundo Poetry Prize Paraíso, the first book in the new CantoMundo Poetry Series, which celebrates the work of Latino/a poets writing in English, is a pilgrimage against sorrow. Erupting from a mother’s death, the poems follow the speaker as he tries to survive his grief. Catholicism, family, good rum . . . these help, but the real medicine happens when the speaker pushes into the cloud forest alone. In a Costa Rica far away from touristy beaches, we encounter bus trips over the cold mountains of the dead, drug dealers with beautiful dogs, and witches with cell phones. Science fuses with religion, witchcraft is joined with technology, and eventually grief transforms into belief. Throughout, Paraíso defies categorization, mixing its beautiful sonnets with playful games and magic cures for the reader. In the process, moments of pure life mingle with the aftermath of a death.

Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Keith Ekiss, Sonia P. Ticas & Mauricio Espinoza. "Travelers to Costa Rica often depart the capital of San José as soon as they arrive, heading out for the cloud forest of Monteverde, the volcano at Arenal, or the waves at Playa Tamarindo, leaving behind the smell of diesel fumes and the city's concrete architecture. But if you visit the National Theater, a civic treasure modeled on the Paris Opera, you will find a bronze statue guarding the building, the bust of a woman with a fierce, penetrating gaze, and hair of Medusa--like serpents: the mother of Costa Rican verse and the country's most significant international literary presence, Nuestra Eunice, as she's been called, the poet Eunice Odio. Her poetry has thus remained almost wholly unknown to readers outside Latin America, obscured on the margins of the region's avant-garde and proletarian-poet traditions. A woman poet who lived a secluded life, Odio was born in a country with, at the time, an antipathy to artists and writers, who often relocated to Mexico City if they wanted to establish themselves as contributors to the vanguard. Odio herself was aware of her marginalized, self-exiled position. Octavio Paz once told her that she was "of that line of poets who invent their own mythology, like Blake, like St. John Perse, like Ezra Pound; and they are rubbed out, because no one understands them until years or even centuries after their death."--Keith Ekiss, from the Introduction

You will find yourself reading each poem over and over again, finding something new and different each time. The author's poems are truly timeless. Mary Sullivan Esseff gathered the photos to surround the poems and give them a new life. Each page speaks to the viewer in a way that no print-only work - no matter how inspiring - can. One reader commented that this book should be available in every doctor's office or any place where people have time on their hands while they are waiting. These poems and the accompanying graphics can bring a smile to your face or plant an inspirational seed in your heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This poetry collection originates from a tour taken to the Central American country of Costa Rica. Instead of doing the usual tourist thing and snapping pictures, I carried a spiral notebook and ball point pen and jotted down impressions in poetic form as I went. The poems that resulted encompass people, places and things, though not intended as a detailed travelogue. What you will get is another perspective on the philosophy and business of travel, the types of tourists that participate in it, and the people that lead it.
