With playful irony, wit, and lyrical dynamism, Florencia Castellano takes on the figure of the \"cowboy,\" the gaucho that has permeated Argentine history and helped define patriarchy for centuries. In its re–imagining, the book questions the ritual of cultural inheritance, suggests that automatic responses can be broken down in language. Here, the literal and the absurd touch, the self and the other dance, \"despite not knowing each other.\" If no haven is safe from the language of patriarchy, then its reverse could be true: no language, however emblazoned, is beyond the reach of the poet. \u003cem\u003eMonitored Properties\u003c\/em\u003e is a testament to living, relational histories and the way they expose and resist official, state–sanctioned versions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UGLYD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32501142880355,"sku":"9781937027797","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/8655\/1139\/products\/image_9af044ba-5ed2-49ff-9d4c-0543810c265f.png?v=1595508660"},{"product_id":"24467","title":"Salsa","description":"\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Jorge Argueta\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-size-large a-text-bold\"\u003eIllustrator: Duncan Tonatiuh \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher: Groundwood Books (2017)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this delightful cooking poem, Jorge Argueta brings us a fun and easy recipe for a yummy salsa.

They chop and then grind these ingredients in the molcajete, along with red chili peppers for the “hotness” that is so delicious, finally adding a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of salt.

Life in the capital—taking in jazz at a café after dark, navigating the underground landscapes of the Metro to and from work—is interwoven with the more interior realms of loss in poems that mourn a parent, retrace the steps of a late mentor, or express the collective grief borne of terrorism. The work, in essence, inhabits a seldom explored bicultural space; for Aragón the author is also Aragón the translator, shaping with his own hand Spanish versions of all these poems, thereby embodying the years he shuttled between his native California and his adopted Spain.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" aria-expanded=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" aria-expanded=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" aria-expanded=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\"These eloquent poems of mourning and memory move deftly, as in a beautiful grave sarabande, between Spain and San Francisco, past and present, enriched by what Francisco Aragón justly calls the 'bilingual mirror' of his 'corazón.'

Like Paul Celan and Taduesz Rozewicz, words are not the way back to what’s been lost, but rather they comprise the very ‘rubble and remains’ of their losses. They carry as well the echoes of the ‘guiding voices’ that ‘have died.’ Fakhreddine’s dilemma, like Celan’s and Rozewicz’s, is to know what feelings and perceptions to trust. As a result, out of his lost Lebanon, out of his disillusionment in politics, he finds a spirit in poetry ‘that flows from deep and rises effortlessly \/ to flicker like the passing sky.' If this sounds evanescent, it’s not because the constant pressure of his lost homeland and of words seek to countermand any hope of finding a way out of history’s dark and confusing labyrinth. Written twenty years ago, \u003cem\u003eLighthouse for the Drowning\u003c\/em\u003e is a clear and concise description of the present.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e–Michael Collier\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“\u003c\/span\u003eLighthouse for the Drowning\u003c\/em\u003e brings to the attention of an Anglophone readership a complete poetry collection (published for the first time in Arabic in 1996) by the prominent Lebanese poet and critic, Jawdat Fakhreddine. In the detailed Introduction to the translated collection (the first translator being the poet’s own daughter), the collection is deftly situated within a context that lies between the tradition of pre-modern Arabic poetry and the quest for modernity, the combination of these two sources of inspiration being a pertinent aspect of the poet’s own muse. The language and sound of the original verse is described as being ‘simple and intimate,’ but a reading of the collection, whether in its original Arabic or in this accomplished translation, makes it abundantly clear that those qualities are an intrinsic part of the poet’s aspiration to forge his own path within the variegated contexts of modern Arabic poetic creativity. The challenges inherent in the process of translation, translating poetry in general and this particular collection in particular, are also discussed—the preparation of an original ‘literal’ version by the native-speaker of Arabic, the process of ‘carrying across’ the ideas and images of that version into another cultural context, and the difficult task of reconciling the two. The resulting English version of the collection is a clear token of such a successful collaborative process.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e–Roger Allen\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IPS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32572081569891,"sku":"9781942683391","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/8655\/1139\/products\/image_a69c6a0e-c722-4637-8630-37bba9f944a1.png?v=1594569849"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/8655\/1139\/collections\/image_628c3f4d-021d-427d-a1a2-4e4726916a49.png?v=1714679739","url":"https:\/\/woodlandpatternbookcenter.com\/collections\/bilingual-texts.oembed?page=8","provider":"Woodland Pattern","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
