Poemas escritos entre 1983 y 1986. El poeta mira, imagina, evoca la profecía apocalíptica cumplida durante los dos grandes terremotos de 1985. La desastrosa mañana de aquel septiembre de 1985 "la tierra que destruimos se hizo presente". Un fatídico terremoto demostró "hasta qué punto nos aborrece la tierra: / nos ve como insectos / torturadores que la roen por dentro". Su devastadora venganza puso en evidencia que "es el nombre profundo de la muerte". Los sobrevivientes "¿vamos a hacer / otra ciudad, otro país, otra vida? / De otra manera seguirá el derrumbe".

Poemas escritos entre 1979 y 1983, se trata de la bitácora de un sobreviviente de la tempestad que fue el siglo XX. "Todo es efímero y jamás se repite", afirma José Emilio Pacheco para recordarnos la brevedad de nuestro tránsito por la tierra. Asumimos que "el mar se habrá cambiado en desierto / cuando ya no [estemos] aquí para mirarlo y amarlo", pero olvidamos que esa condición fugaz es la que le da un matiz extraordinario a la existencia: "todo es valioso porque todo es irrepetible". Los trabajos del mar reúne poemas escritos entre 1979 y 1983.

“You are told to believe in one paradise / and then there is the paradise you come to know,” begins Rick Barot. What follows is an account of the rich and thorny valley between those poles. Moving the Bones dwells in liminal spaces—of love and memory, the pandemic’s singular domesticity, a serene cemetery of ancestral plots, dawn. In precise and tender verse, Barot captures the particularities of being in the middle of one’s life, reflecting on the joys and sorrows of the past and confronting the inevitabilities that lie ahead.

Inertia is a property of matter and of marriages. Lori is a nurturing type who avoids conflict, priding herself on her adaptability.

In this second volume of Dante Alighieri's ageless classic, the *Comedie* (*Commedia*), Vergil and Dante emerge from their upward climb out the lower depths of Hell, at the center of the earth, to find themselves at the shores of the Mountain of Purgatory, exactly opposite Jerusalem in the Hemisphere of Water, where it is the only land below the Equator. Here they encounter other newcome souls and those who are awaiting entry into the punishments.

El libro que faltaba de Almudena Grandes. Las historias y las escenas cotidianas que resumen el mundo de una escritora irrepetible. Escalera interior es el murmullo de los patios de luces que recogen olores de guisos, ruidos de cacharros y cucharones, risas, confidencias susurradas a media voz, buenos días y buenas noches que se intercambian en el rellano; es el murmullo que recoge nuestra rutina, la de la gente de a pie, en esas realidades pequeñas que son las que esconden las grandes historias.

Don Quixote has become so entranced by reading romances of chivalry that he determines to become a knight errant and pursue bold adventures, accompanied by his squire, the cunning Sancho Panza. As they roam the world together, the aging Quixote's fancy leads them wildly astray. At the same time the relationship between the two men grows in fascinating subtlety. Often considered to be the first modern novel, Don Quixote is a wonderful burlesque of the popular literature its disordered protagonist is obsessed with.

Here are eight fundamental works by one of the few greatest English poets: three lyric pieces, Songs of Innocence, The Book of Thel, Songs of Experience; the prose satire An Island in the Moon, the mystical prose poem The Marriage of Heaven & Hell, and three visionary poems: The French Revolution, Visions of the Daughters of Albion, America, a Prophecy. William Blake (1757-1827) is one of the great relevant figures of his time, who like Beethoven in music bridges the classical and romantic, remaining himself uncategorizable.

The words we exclude from poems, that little "might" or the "luminous" quality of the sun; they become an army of guards, strengthening each other and showing their fangs, like spiteful nails that puncture tires; those words when we decide to kill them forever, like the bruised wings, we exchanged the same desire.
