Volver en el tiempo a la agridulce memoria es uno de los forzados destinos del hombre. En esta entrega, regreso a recolectar recuerdos y a reforzar las voces que murmuran versos desde las claroscuras esquinas del alma. Island Boy es un libro de reconocimiento de mi identidad, y, claro, de la universal identidad del lector como ser humano, como ente social

True to the rich traditions of the great Hispanic and Latino works of narrative, The Wordsmith deals in worlds of magical realism, of practical philosophy and historical anecdotes. Edgar Smith offers us these works in English, translated by himself from his native language: Spanish, and as one reads, both the poetry and spice of the writer's roots immediately rise up to the reader, delicate and mighty, as if a scent. Evocative and thought-provoking, The Wordsmith is a collection of stories both unconventional and irresistible, both gripping and poetic.

RANDOMLY, A POEM is Edgar Smith's first collection of poems in English. It is a small compilation of poems written randomly in a span of ten years. Most of these poems were originally written in English while others were translated from Spanish for an English audience at several bilingual poetry events. There is depth in beauty and there is beauty in everyday life. I hope you will find both in these verses.

Verso y Lagrima es una seleccion de la poesia romantica de Edgar Smith. Aqui encontrara poemas de amor, desamor, melancolia, nostalgia... El poeta cuenta con un amplio repertorio, y escribe con la certeza del conocedor del lenguaje y la pasion de quien ha experimentado y observado la vida. Es un libro para leer y retornar a el, acompanados tal vez de un buen vino, de un cafe y un bolero.

arrimao narra las historias de Roberto y Ricardo, dos hombres dominicanos, distintos, con distintas motivaciones, con diferentes ideologias, pero con el mismo sueno: hacer dinero en USA.Como todo inmigrante, estas dos personas se dan cuenta de lo arduo que es el trayecto hacia el llamado Sueno americano. Edgar Smith, con un lenguaje claro, preciso y crudo, nos guia por este recorrido, a veces demasiado cercano a la realidad de millones de personas.

Much in the gripping style of thought-provoking, philosophical, and brainy horror by genre masters, such as Poe, Borges, or King, Edgar Smith (Arrimao, Gnuj & Alt, The Wordsmith) delivers a collection of short stories conceived to shock, but, more importantly, to stir the waters in the readers' mind lake. This is contemporary literature from a mind nurtured by classic stories and fueled by a profound, far-reaching imagination, intent on delivering the sort of escapism a good old story was originally expected to provide and yet offering the sort of intellectual stimulation the serious reader always expects from exceptional narrative.

Few books have managed to depict, dissect and encompass, in vivid, crude detail, the numerous vicissitudes and hurdles inherent to the immigration experience (everything that goes into the pursuit of the particularly elusive American dream) -this one does. Whatever your opinion on the subject, nothing you can imagine comes close to the truth -nothing you've read or heard before can prepare you for the real-life, harrowing situations these people go through. The semi-autobiographic characters in the story broadly mirror the lives and feelings of the millions of immigrants that come to the United States of America looking to improve their lives, only to realize that what they thought a dream might as well be just a painful myth. This novel will move you -push you, rather- in the right direction toward the discovery of all the reasons behind this choice -and all the reasons why it may, ultimately, not be as good an idea as many of us think.
