On the morning of February 6, 1999, Buenos Aires police officers shot and killed seventeen-year-old Víctor Manuel Vital, better known as Frente, while he was unarmed, hiding under a table, and trying to surrender. Widely known and respected throughout Buenos Aires's shantytowns for his success as a thief, commitment to a code of honor, and generosity to his community, Frente became a Robin Hood--style legend who, in death, was believed to have the power to make bullets swerve and save gang members from shrapnel. In Dance for Me When I Die—first published in Argentina in 2004 and appearing here in English for the first time—Cristian Alarcón tells the story and legacy of Frente's life and death in the context of the everyday experiences of love and survival, murder and addiction, and crime and courage of those living in the slums. Drawing on interviews with Frente's friends, family, and ex-girlfriends, as well as with local thieves and drug dealers, and having immersed himself in Frente's neighborhood for eighteen months, Alarcón captures the world of the urban poor in all of its complexity and humanity.

Описание: Borderless Butterflies: Earth Haikus and Other Poems / Mariposas sin fronteras: Haikus terrenales y otros poemas by Francisco X. Alarcon is a bi-lingual book of poems in Spanish and English for the earth and the people, crafted by a poet at the peak of his power. It speaks to the porousness of our boundaries, and the futility of all attempts to separate people and regions so intimately intertwined. Alarcon is a man who, like the monarch butterfly he eulogizes, lives in and migrates between many worlds. From Los Angeles to Guadalajara, from the Mission barrio in San Francisco to Stanford and UC Davis, he has lived fully immersed in the diverse cultural landscape of California and Mexico. Prevalent in Alarcon's works, as Francisco Aragon states in his insightful blurb, is "an indigenous spirituality that makes no distinction between animal (including humans), vegetable, and mineral." Without a doubt Francisco is inspired by his Mesoamerican heritage and poets like Nezahualcoyotl. He is inspired also by the Sufi mystic poet Rumi, the mystic poets of the Golden Age in Spain as well as by Federico Garcia Lorca and more contemporary poets - revolutionary poet Roque Dalton of El Salvador and groundbreaking Chicana poet/essayist Gloria Anzaldua. But the haiku, senryū, and tanka forms of the Japanese poetic tradition give shape to many of his "winged poems," the meta-poetic butterflies of this collection that come to Francisco so effortlessly.

Writing this Book has been a Blessing
I am thankful for the opportunity to share about how real our Lord Jesus is- in our daily lives. Till now, Jesus has shielded my life from dying seven times.
In one of those occasions, I had the opportunity to visit Heaven, and God gave me the option to stay or to come back, all I can say is that my life has been "out of this world" very exciting, not a boring moment.
Jesus is definitely my best friend; I can count on Him daily. He gave me a church Without Walls. I pray outdoors with the homeless, with people with addictions, young people in need of direction, and health restoration etc., I serve Jesus 24/7 and enjoy every minute.
I pray that the message in this book will expand inside your Heart to discover Jesus' unconditional and abundant love for you
"Prayer for a brand new Life with Jesus"
Dear Lord Jesus,
I come before you, just as I am,
I repent of my sins, forgive me.
I invite you into my heart
And receive you as my Lord, God and Savior.
Cleanse me with your Divine blood,
And baptize me with your Holy Spirit.
I thank you Lord Jesus, for my Salvation. Amen.

Описание: LONGLISTED for the 2017 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION An urgent, essential collection of stories about immigration, broken dreams, Los Angeles gang members, Latin American families, and other tales of high stakes journeys, from the award-winning author of War by Candlelight and At Night We Walk in Circles.
Migration. Betrayal. Family secrets. Doomed love. Uncertain futures. In Daniel Alarc n's hands, these are transformed into deeply human stories with high stakes. In "The Thousands," people are on the move and forging new paths; hope and heartbreak abound. A man deals with the fallout of his blind relatives' mysterious deaths and his father's mental breakdown and incarceration in "The Bridge." A gang member discovers a way to forgiveness and redemption through the haze of violence and trauma in "The Ballad of Rocky Rontal." And in the tour de force novella, "The Auroras", a man severs himself from his old life and seeks to make a new one in a new city, only to find himself seduced and controlled by a powerful woman. Richly drawn, full of unforgettable characters, The King is Always Above the People reveals experiences both unsettling and unknown, and yet eerily familiar in this new world.

Описание: Within the constraints of alien control or influence, it is argued, cultural and organisational barriers have consistently allowed a wide range of initiative to African leaders and communities in a creative and flexible adjustment to new and unfamiliar demands. Exploration of this African initiative in various contexts suggests a complex, fascinating pattern of cultural and structural interaction.
