Mariposa’s Song

Unlucky Lucky Tales

Unlucky Lucky Tales

by Daniel Grandbois

Illustrated by Fidel Sclavo

Foreword by Ed Ochester

Price: $26.95

ISBN: 9780896727700

Pub Date: October 2012

Like Zen koans, these stories playfully short-circuit the brain to bypass normal thought and open the mind to undiscovered worlds of perception. As the human organism responds inexplicably to music, to particular combinations of notes of varying pitches and durations and the intervals of silence between them, so too it responds in profound yet ultimately incomprehensible ways to the absurd, twisted language of Grandbois’s poetic prose.

Daughter of Silence

Daughter of Silence

by Manuela Fingueret

Translated by Darrell Lockhart

Price: $19.95

ISBN: 9780896727311

Pub Date: May 2012

Silence is a tradition among the women of Rita’s family, so it is no wonder that she must interpret for herself what her mother has left unsaid about the horrors of the Terezin concentration camp. But Rita faces a silence of her own: a Peronist militant in 1980s Argentina, she has been incarcerated and abused in Buenos Aires’s infamous Escuela de Mecánica de la Armada detention center. In an imagined dialogue between mother and daughter, Rita recreates Tinkele’s unarticulated story, interweaving it with memories of her own childhood. Breaking with the tradition of women as silent observers, Rita speaks not only for the nameless victims who have disappeared under Argentina’s military dictatorship but those of the Holocaust. Fingueret’s trenchant novel of survival transforms silence into a cry for justice that cannot be stifled.
The Origin of Species and Other Poems

The Origin of Species and Other Poems

by Ernesto Cardenal

Translated by John Lyons

Foreword by Anne Waldman

Price: $21.95

ISBN: 9780896726895

Pub Date: April 2011

Ernesto Cardenal, widely acknowledged as Latin America's greatest living poet, continues to craft works of striking beauty, as demonstrated in this collection’s title poem, an exquisite meditation on Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. Among the twenty new poems included here are many appearing for the first time in English, some for the first time anywhere. Cardenal has also added new cantigas, or cantos, to supplement his book-length masterpiece, Cosmic Canticle. “There is order even in the foam of a torrent,” affirms Cardenal. Evolution, natural selection, existence, and purpose figure into this complex symphony. In his characteristic blend of poetry, politics, and prayer, he grapples with elemental questions of life, delivering a thought-provoking, joyous vision of an earthly paradise in which humanity must find its role and calling.
