“I speak from my difference,” wrote Pedro Lemebel, an openly queer writer and artist living through Chile’s AIDS epidemic and the collapse of the Pinochet dictatorship. In brilliantly innovative essays—known as crónicas—that combine memoir, reportage, fiction, history, and poetry, he brought visibility and dignity to sexual minorities, the poor, and the powerless. This volume brings together the best of his work, introducing listeners of English to the subversive genius of a literary activist and queer icon whose acrobatic explorations of the Santiago demimonde reverberate around the world.

Poet and musician Melania Luisa Marte opens Plaintains and Our Becoming by pointing out that Afro-Latina is not a word recognized by the dictionary. But the dictionary is far from a record of the truth. What does it mean, then, to tend to your own words and your own record—to build upon the legacies of your ancestors?

For ni år siden plejede Vivienne Jones sit knuste hjerte, som enhver anden ung heks ville gøre det: med vodka, hjerte-smerte-musik, boblebad … og med at kaste en forbandelse over sin forhadte ekskæreste. Og ja, alle ved, at man ikke skal blande alkohol og magi, men Vivi gjorde det altså mest for sin sjælefreds skyld. Og da det eneste lys, hun havde ved hånden, var et helt almindeligt duftlys, forventede hun egentlig ikke, at hun ville nedbringe mere end en dårlig hårdag eller to …

Though universally acclaimed for his dazzling fictions, Jorge Luis Borges always considered himself first and foremost a poet. This new bilingual selection brings together some two hundred poems, including scores of poems never previously translated. Edited by Alexander Coleman, it draws from a lifetime's work--from Borges's first published volume of verse, Fervor de Buenos Aires (1923), to his final work, Los conjurados, published just a year before his death in 1986.

This landmark collection brings together for the first time in any language all of the sonnets of one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. More intimate and personally revealing than his fiction, and more classical in form than the inventive metafictions that are his hallmark, the sonnets reflect Borges in full maturity, paying homage to many of his literary and philosophical paragons—Cervantes, Milton, Whitman, Emerson, Joyce, Spinoza—while at the same time engaging the mysteries immanent in the quotidian.

Revered for his magnificent works of fiction, Jorge Luis Borges thought of himself primarily as a poet. Poems of the Night is a moving collection of the great literary visionary's poetic meditations on nighttime, darkness, and the crepuscular world of visions and dreams, themes that speak implicitly to the blindness that overtook Borges late in life—and yet the poems here are drawn from the full span of Borges's career.

América Latina vivió intensamente la Guerra Fría en la política, pero también en la cultura. La Revolución cubana jugó un papel central en aquel conflicto, en buena medida, por haber sido un movimiento político que en el lapso de una década recorrió casi todas las facetas de la izquierda regional. La polis literaria nos muestra ese camino y pone voz a todos los intelectuales de aquella época.
