Welcome to infinity: the timelessness of verse...
Shades of Blue: The Journey of Awakening is a collection of eighty soulful poems by West Coast dreamer Gino Vallejo. Including fresh and former works, the volume bears witness to life's continua-no emotional hue forgotten. Adding to the experience, long-time collaborator Stephanie LeVasseur provides a dazzling range of illustrations to compliment prominent pieces. Altogether larger-than-life, the tour depicts transcendence.
From a celestial introduction, "The Heavenly Gate," Vallejo's voyage proceeds through time and space, navigating all manner of subject-matter. Selections such as 'Purple Rome' and 'Cleopatra: The Song of the Nile' meditate upon history's cyclical nature, fixing on awesome fact. Others, like "Awaiting Venus," walk us through mystical annals of lore, while 'Diamond Star' and kindred pieces celebrate love's deliverance. Where 'The Ecstasy of Gold' and "Vanity" denounce man's flaws, "Fruit of My Life" revels in fatherhood. "Searching Far and Wide" speculates on the key to happiness, "End of Days" assesses modern tyranny, "A Warrior's Legacy" serves to humanize the soldier's plight, and "Through a Winter's Cold" emphasizes the need for God in our hearts. Along the way, we study loss, America's reputation abroad, terrorism, heartbreak, art and what it means to live.
The variance is unified by pathos, wit and earnestness. The intimate is universal, universal intimate...assuring those who value Blake will find new wealth within.
Welcome to creation and coincident apocalypse: the psyche of a poet with a gift for shedding light.

Автор: Vallejo, Cesar Название: Spain, take this chalice from me (and other poems) ISBN: 0143105302 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780143105305 Издательство: Random House (USA) Рейтинг: Цена: 11030.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Cesar Vallejo is one of the best-known Latin American poets of the twentieth century. Challenging, intense, and difficult to translate, Vallejo`s work has often been overshadowed by his fervent endorsement of communism. Including Spanish and English versions of more than eighty poems that span Vallejo`s career, this title collects his poems.
Too frequently, the media and politicians cast Mexican immigrants as a threat to American society. Given America's increasing ethnic diversity and the large size of the Mexican-origin population, an investigation of how Mexican immigrants and their descendants achieve upward mobility and enter the middle class is long overdue. Barrios to Burbs offers a new understanding of the Mexican American experience.
Vallejo explores the challenges that accompany rapid social mobility and examines a new indicator of incorporation, a familial obligation to "give back" in social and financial support. She investigates the salience of middle-class Mexican Americans' ethnic identification and details how relationships with poorer coethnics and affluent whites evolve as immigrants and their descendants move into traditionally white middle-class occupations. Disputing the argument that Mexican communities lack high quality resources and social capital that can help Mexican Americans incorporate into the middle class, Vallejo also examines civic participation in ethnic professional associations embedded in ethnic communities.
