The gentle, light-filled poems of Cristina M. R. Norcross are just the medicine we need for these disturbing and distressing times. Reading The Poetry Apothecary is like taking that first step into a healing room, where all are welcome, where wonder and woundedness are equally honored and given shape. I love that she has divided the book into sections, each of which offer their own prescriptions for whatever might ail us. These poems help us see more deeply into the texture of our lives, and show us how we might learn to love the smaller things we often speed past: "every cell singing its praises . . . every moment folding itself into Now." These poems create "a blueprint of possibility/imprinted on the surface" of each new page.-James Crews, author of Unlocking the Heart and Kindness Will Save the WorldWe have come to know Cristina M. R. Norcross's poetry as a kind of heartwork or communion. The Poetry Apothecary continues that vocation, using her gifts of language and compassion to invite disparate, divided, and isolated souls into connection. Pain, despair, illness, and grief are certainties in the experience of being human, but Norcross gently persists in showing us the small miracles that are just as much a part of the truth of our existence. This unforgettable apothecary of beauty, nature, tenderness, and creation opens our eyes and hearts to hope and healing. Norcross coaxes us to see how much the tiniest, most ordinary moments are epic, sensual, and profound-how much they look like love. -Lorette C. Luzajic, founding editor, The Ekphrastic Review and The MackinawThe Poetry Apothecary is a book for those who live in the too real world of illness and sorrow, the world where lives sometimes break. These poems by Norcross love even the shards, the "pain body," the "sharp knife cuts of memory." Tenderly, musically, the author shares her own stories of loss and healing. Offered like a prescription, the lyrics teach us how to "untie the ego," "knit ourselves together," and, most importantly, "how life becomes a poem." If poetry is medicine, you will find it here.-Kimberly Blaeser, author of Ancient Light and past Wisconsin Poet Laureate

Growing up is a vague term and different for everyone. My story is about having multiple father figures and an appetite for food. Traveling to accommodate family while schooling in Miami was hard for a little girl. From white bread to whole grain, I got to see the world through my aunt's eyes and she was married to a lawyer. My grandmother loved food and was great to be around. My mother, as I made my way back to Miami, Florida, was always waiting for us with open arms, as she shortly spoke on the phone with family and friends to welcome us back. I was excited to see my room again and my other grandmother and my dog. Food was different and Cuban, where as in Los Angeles we ate out a lot at Chinese restaurants, and my uncle occasionally would cook a salmon or grade A steak on the BBQ. Life was hard, fun, and fulfilling; capable of creating the imagination to do anything from horseback riding to being at Universal Studios, where the journey was what you made it. This trip was not horseback riding, but I remember my aunt's sweet hair, hugs, and kisses, forever. My mother's floor knees and my grandmother's cooking, genuine.
In 1934, a young Jos Revueltas traveled to Tamaulipas to support the cotton workers' strike in Estaci n Camar n, which became the basis of his landmark novel Human Mourning. In her own groundbreaking novel, Autobiography of Cotton, Cristina Rivera Garza recounts her grandparents' journey from mining towns to those same cotton fields as it intersects with Revueltas's life in a vivid and evocative history of cotton cultivation along the Mexico-US border. Through archival research and personal narrative, Rivera Garza chronicles the way cotton transformed the borderlands by reconstructing the cotton workers' strike and reveals how cycles of deprivation and ecocide persist across generations. Deeply personal and politically acute, Rivera Garza crafts a new kind of border novel that tells how a brittle land radically altered her grandparents' lives and the territories they helped develop. An intimate fictionalization, Autobiography of Cotton reveals a rich social history of agricultural colonization, labor activism, environmental degradation, and cross-border migration.
The documents emerging from the secret police archives of the former Soviet bloc have caused scandal after scandal, compromising revered cultural figures and abruptly ending political careers. Police Aesthetics offers a revealing and responsible approach to such materials. Taking advantage of the partial opening of the secret police archives in Russia and Romania, Vatulescu focuses on their most infamous holdings-the personal files-as well as on movies the police sponsored, scripted, or authored. Through the archives, she gains new insights into the writing of literature and raises new questions about the ethics of reading. She shows how police files and films influenced literature and cinema, from autobiographies to novels, from high-culture classics to avant-garde experiments and popular blockbusters. In so doing, she opens a fresh chapter in the heated debate about the relationship between culture and politics in twentieth-century police states.

Ganador del Premio Pulitzer 2024 de Memoria o Autobiograf a PRESELECCIONADA PARA EL NATIONAL BOOK AWARDS EN LA CATEGORIA DE NO FICCI N Incluido en los libros de ficci n notables del New York Times de 2023 Este libro es para celebrar el paso de Liliana Rivera Garza por la tierra y para decirle que, claro que s , lo vamos a tirar. Al patriarcado lo vamos a tirar. «El 16 de julio de 1990, Liliana Rivera Garza, mi hermana, fue v ctima de un feminicidio. Era una muchacha de 20 a os, estudiante de arquitectura. Ten a a os tratando de terminar su relaci n con un novio de la preparatoria que insist a en no dejarla ir. Unas cuantas semanas antes de la tragedia, Liliana por fin tom una decisi n definitiva: en lo m s crudo del invierno hab a descubierto que en ella, como bien lo hab a dicho Albert Camus, hab a un invencible verano. Lo dejar a atr s. Empezar a una nueva vida. Har a una maestr a y despu s un doctorado; viajar a a Londres. La decisi n de l fue que ella no tendr a una vida sin l. Hace apenas un a o decid abrir las cajas donde depositamos las pertenencias de mi hermana. Su voz atraves el tiempo y, como la de tantas mujeres desaparecidas y ultrajadas en M xico, demand justicia. El invencible verano de Liliana es una excavaci n en la vida de una mujer brillante y audaz que careci , como nosotros mismos, como todos los dem s, del lenguaje necesario para identificar, denunciar y combatir la violencia sexista y el terrorismo de pareja que caracteriza a tantas relaciones patriarcales . - Cristina Rivera Garza " Enorme Ojal millones lo lean " -- Francisco Goldman, autor de Monkey Boy, finalista del Premio Pulitzer de Ficci n 2022ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Winner of the 2024 Pulitzer Prize in Memoir or Autobiography LONGLISTED FOR THE 2023 NONFICTION NATIONAL BOOK AWARDS Listed as one of The New York Times' Notable Fiction Books of 2023 A haunting, unforgettable memoir about a beloved younger sister and the painful memory of her murder, from "one of Mexico's greatest living writers" (Jonathan Lethem). Can you enjoy yourself while you are in pain? The question, which is not new, arises over and over again during that eternity that is mourning. In the early hours of July 16, 1990, Liliana Rivera Garza was murdered by her abusive ex-boyfriend. A life full of promise and hope, cut tragically short, Liliana's story instead became subsumed into Mexico's dark and relentless history of domestic violence. With Liliana's case file abandoned by a corrupt criminal justice system, her family, including her older sister Cristina, was forced to process their grief and guilt in private, without any hope for justice. In luminous, poetic prose, Rivera Garza tells a singular yet universally resonant story: that of a spirited, wondrously hopeful young woman who tried to survive in a world of increasingly normalized gendered violence. It traces the story of her childhood, her early romance with a handsome-but possessive and short-tempered-man, through the exhilarating weeks leading up to that fateful July morning, a summer when Liliana loved, thought, and traveled more widely and freely than she ever had before. Using her remarkable talents as a scholar, novelist, and poet, Cristina Rivera Garza returns to Mexico after decades of living in the United States to collect and curate evidence --handwritten letters, police reports, school notebooks, architectural blueprints-- in order to render and understand a life beyond the crime itself. Tracing the full arc of their childhood and adolescence in central Mexico, through the painful and confusing years after Liliana's death, Rivera Garza confronts the trauma of losing her sister, and examines from multiple angles how this tragedy continues to shape who she is--and what she fights for--today.

"Una hermosa novela: hilarante en un momento, acechante despu s". --Chris Bohjalian, autor de The Flight Attendant y The Lioness ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the acclaimed author of Dreaming in Cuban, a follow-up novel that tracks four generations of the del Pino family against the tumultuous backdrops of Cuba, the U.S., Germany, and Russia in the new millennium "A beautiful novel: hilarious one moment, haunting the next." --Chris Bohjalian, author of The Flight Attendant and The Lioness Celia del Pino, the matriarch of a far-flung Cuban family, has watched her descendants spread out across the globe, struggling to make sense of their transnational identities and strained relationships with one another. In Berlin, the charismatic yet troubled Ivanito performs on stage as his drag queen persona, while being haunted by the ghost of his mother. Pilar Puente, adrift in Los Angeles, is a struggling sculptor and the single mother of a young son. In Moscow, Ivanito's cousin Irina has become the wealthy owner of a lingerie company, but she remains deeply lonely in the wake of her parents' deaths and her estrangement from her Cuban heritage. Meanwhile, in Havana, Celia prepares to reunite with her lost lover, Gustavo, and wonders whether age and the decades spent apart have altered their bond. Cut off from their Cuban roots, yet still feeling the island's ineluctable pull, Ivanito and his extended family try to reimagine where--and with whom--they belong. Over the course of a momentous year, each will grapple with their histories as they are pulled to Berlin for a final, explosive reunion. Set twenty years after the events in Dreaming in Cuban, Cristina Garc a's new novel is an epic tale of family, devotion, and the timeless search for home.
An invigorating memoir about a young woman pushed to her limits at a Zen monastery in Hawai'i, where she learns that the key to unlocking the ultimate breakthrough is igniting her fighting spirit. At twenty-five, activist Cristina Moon faced an impossible task: preparing for the possibility of arrest and torture inside military-ruled Myanmar. Her response? Learning Buddhist meditation. So began what would become a decades-long spiritual path--eventually leading her to a Zen temple and martial arts dojo in Hawaiʻi with a timeless method of warrior Zen training. Offering a bracing account of three years of mind-body-spirit training at Daihonzan Chozen-ji, a Rinzai Zen temple and martial arts dojo, Moon powerfully captures the rigors and realizations that finally shaped her into a Zen priest whose highest directive is to give fearlessness. Told with immersive detail and an unique Asian American female perspective, Three Years on the Great Mountain chronicles Moon's straight-up-the-mountain training regimen at Chozen-ji, conducted every day and often through the nights. Through the spiritual forging of daily Zen meditation, manual labor, swordsmanship, and Japanese tea ceremony, she discovers a newfound conviction that self mastery and spiritual growth can take fierce form. Embraced by local Hawaiʻi and Japanese culture, and a community of discipline, respect, and discovery, she discovers a profound sense of home.

He was snoozing next to Topper and Brigette, and though they didn't move their heads, all of them twitched their ears in my direction as I approached. I ran a hand over every rump in greeting and then stood quietly next to Pauper, not needing to use words, but just to feel the safety of his presence. My sweet show-horse-turned-warhorse had me feeling a little less scared after his terrible, wonderful display. I leaned into his silky mane-covered neck and breathed in his warm, therapeutic scent. He was my constant companion, my protector, my best friend. I knew, there in that moment, how I wanted to ride into battle. It would be me and him, nothing between us, just like in the beginning.

Un libro che rappresenta una chiave di volta per diversi livelli interpretativi sia della vita che ci circonda sia delle persone che riempiono le nostre vite. Un'occasione per intraprendere un percorso di conoscenza interiore per giungere ad una comprensione maggiore su chi siamo, con chi ci relazioniamo, come affrontiamo la vita e come possiamo utilizzare tale conoscenza per migliorarci e migliorare i nostri rapporti con gli altri. Come sostenne il filoso Henri Bergson le immagini che vediamo vengono analizzate dal nostro cervello cercandone un' attinenza nei nostri ricordi per fare scaturire in noi un movimento di sentimenti e coscienza. La forza di questo libro la presenza di testi chiari e precisi affiancati dalla rappresentazione grafica degli stessi per supportarli e toccare le coscienze interiori. Un saggio rivolto alle donne che vogliono conoscere le proprie dee interiori per comprendersi e comprendere meglio, e agli uomini che vogliono indagare sulla propria parte femminile inconscia e imparare a decifrare il difficile mondo femminile.
