Lotería

Resumen del Libro

The vision begins with a river. From this river, you can see a village, marine life, and ancestral rituals. It is here that you recognize origins, and a poison beginning to spread through paradise. Suddenly, a premonition: a wounded animal. The certainty of war cries. What you take with you is what you become, each movement a gamble, a lottery of life that transforms you until this moment, when uncertainty becomes an ally. Lotería: Nocturnal Sweepstakes is a collection of deeply evocative coming-of-age poems that take the reader on a voyage through the intimate experiences of displacement. Conjuring dreamlike visions of extravagant fruits and rivers animated by the power of divination, these poems follow the speaker from the lash of war’s arrival through an urgent escape and reinvention in a land that saves with maternal instinct but also smothers its children. In this bilingual collection, Colombian American poet Elizabeth Torres threads together the stories of family dynamics and the realities of migration with the archetypes of tarot and the traditional Lotería game, used for centuries as an object of divination and entertainment. Through these themes and images, the poems in Lotería narrate intimate moments in the lives and journeys of migrants, refugees, and all who have been forced into metamorphosis in order to reach the other side of the river.

Versos dispersos

Esta obra representa mi estreno como autor. Ya lo indica su nombre; este poemario es una recopilación de temas diversos: desde la libertad hasta el amor —o lo que a veces se interpreta como tal—, afrontados como buenamente se puede. A veces amargo, otras esperanzador, este compendio de reflexiones poéticas intenta aportar una mirada estética a lo que la vida ofrece y también arrebata.

Versos deshojados

Versos deshojados beben en ese manantial, en donde las palabras atrapan el misterio profundo de la realidad. Son la inspiración de una mirada, de un instante, puro sentimiento, aguda percepción de la fragilidad de la existencia huma-na: microhistorias que guardan sueños, ensueños, delirios. Sentimientos. Costumbres. Rebeldía. Destellos de luz que confieren a dichos poemas esa luminosidad sostenida en el intervalo, donándoles de un mágico lirismo. Y hace que las palabras dejen de ser una alusión a la realidad, un modo de interrogarla o definirla y, mágicamente, exalten esa realidad...

El gaucho Martín Fierro

The Martin Fierro, the classic argentine poem, has been the subject of studies and discussions ever since the issuing of its first part edition -el gaucho Martin Fierro- in 1873, and there have been many ensuing editions, including some still available, to prove it.
