es un poemario centrado en la mujer, en ese amor de mujer que el autor guarda como camafeo en las soledades de los caminos, y constituye el incentivo principal de su viaje, en esa búsqueda ancestral que no tiene bien definida, pero que compensa ir por la vida intentando encontrarla.Los años 50

By Judith Grisel. 2019
From a renowned behavioral neuroscientist and recovered drug addict, an authoritative and accessible guide to understanding drug addiction: clearly explained…
brain science and vivid personal stories reveal how addiction happens, show why specific drugs--from opioids to alcohol to coke and more--are so hard to kick, and illuminate the path to recovery for addicts, loved ones, caregivers, and crafters of public policy.Addiction is epidemic and catastrophic. With more than one in every five people over the age of fourteen addicted, drug abuse has been called the most formidable health problem worldwide. If we are not victims ourselves, we all know someone struggling with the merciless compulsion to alter their experience by changing how their brain functions. Drawing on years of research--as well as personal experience as a recovered addict--researcher and professor Judy Grisel has reached a fundamental conclusion: for the addict, there will never be enough drugs. The brain's capacity to learn and adapt is seemingly infinite, allowing it to counteract any regular disruption, including that caused by drugs. What begins as a normal state punctuated by periods of being high transforms over time into a state of desperate craving that is only temporarily subdued by a fix, explaining why addicts are unable to live either with or without their drug. One by one, Grisel shows how different drugs act on the brain, the kind of experiential effects they generate, and the specific reasons why each is so hard to kick. Grisel's insights lead to a better understanding of the brain's critical contributions to addictive behavior, and will help inform a more rational, coherent, and compassionate response to the epidemic in our homes and communities.The Addiction Solution: Treating Our Dependence on Opioids and Other Drugs
By Lloyd Sederer. 2018
A groundbreaking examination of addiction from a psychiatrist and public health doctor, offering practical, proven solutions for individuals, families, and…
communities dealing with substance use and abuse.Written with warmth, accessibility, and vast authority, The Addiction Solution is a practical guide through the world of drug use and abuse and addiction treatment. Here, Lloyd I. Sederer, MD, brings together scientific and clinical knowledge, policy suggestions, and case studies to describe our current drug crisis and establish a clear path forward to recovery and health. In a time when so many people are affected by the addiction epidemic, when 142 people die of overdoses every day in the United States, principally from opioids, Sederer’s decades of wisdom and clinical experience are needed more than ever before. With a timely focus on opioids, Sederer takes us through the proven essentials of addiction treatment and explains why so many of our current policies, like the lingering remnants of the War on Drugs, fail to help drug users, their families, and their wider communities. He identifies a key insight, often overlooked in popular and professional writing about addiction and its treatment: namely, that people who use drugs do so to meet specific needs, and that drugs may be the best solution those people currently have. Writing with generosity and empathy about the many Americans who use illicit and prescribed substances, Sederer lays out specific, evidence-based, researched solutions to the prevention and problems of drug use, including exercise, medications, therapy, recovery programs, and community services. In this challenging time, The Addiction Solution provides practical help, comfort, and hope.Suave es vivir solo (Flash Poesía #Volumen)
By Fernando Pessoa. 2019
La colección «Poesía Portátil» reúne en Suave es vivir solo una muestra de los versos más rompedores de Fernando Pessoa,…
creador de una obra dominada por el vanguardismo y las identidades múltiples. Fernando Pessoa es considerado, junto con Luis de Camões, el poeta más importante en lengua portuguesa y uno de los más reconocidos de la literatura universal. Álvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis y Alberto Caeiro son algunos de sus heterónimos, verdaderas personalidades poéticas con estilo propio, personajes completos, con biografías propias y estilos literarios dispares. Se convirtieron así en máscaras del propio escritor, en las que se despersonalizó para dar forma, a través de sus múltiples voces, a la amplitud y complejidad de sus pensamientos, conocimientos, y percepciones de la vida y el mundo. -------«El poeta es un fingidor.Finge tan completamenteque hasta finge que es dolorel dolor que en verdad siente.»-------Dark Sparkler

By Joe Navarro, Toni Sciarra Poynter. 2014
What makes a narcissist go from self-involved to terrifying? In this national bestseller, Joe Navarro, a leading FBI profiler, unlocks…
the secrets to the personality disorders that put us all at risk. “I should have known.”“How could we have missed the warning signs?””I always thought there was something off about him.”When we wake up to new tragedies in the news every day—shootings, rampages, acts of domestic terrorism—we often blame ourselves for missing the mania lurking inside unsuspecting individuals. But how could we have known that the charismatic leader had the characteristics of a tyrant? And how can ordinary people identify threats from those who are poised to devastate their lives on a daily basis—the crazy coworkers, out-of-control family members, or relentless neighbors?In Dangerous Personalities, former FBI profiler Joe Navarro has the answers. He shows us how to identify the four most common "dangerous personalities" and how to analyze the potential threat level: the Narcissist, the Predator, the Paranoid, and the Unstable Personality. Along the way, he provides essential tips and tricks to protect ourselves both immediately and in the long-term, as well as how to heal the trauma of being exposed to the destructive egos in our world.Spill (Phoenix Poets)
By Bruce Smith. 2018
“There are two schools: one that sings the sheen and hues, the necessary pigments and frankincense while the world dries…
and the other voice like water that seeks to saturate, erode, and boil . . . It ruins everything you have ever saved.” Spill is a book in contradictions, embodying helplessness in the face of our dual citizenship in the realms of trauma and gratitude, artistic aspiration and political reality. The centerpiece of this collection is a lyrical essay that recalls the poet’s time working at the Federal Penitentiary at Lewisburg in the 1960s. Mentored by the insouciant inmate S, the speaker receives a schooling in race, class, and culture, as well as the beginning of an apprenticeship in poetry. As he and S consult the I Ching, the Book of Changes, the speaker becomes cognizant of other frequencies, other identities; poetry, divination, and a synchronous, alternative reading of life come into focus. On either side of this prose poem are related poems of excess and witness, of the ransacked places and of new territories that emerge from the monstrous. Throughout, these poems inhabit rather than resolve their contradictions, their utterances held in tension “between the hemispheres of songbirds and the hemispheres of men.”My Bishop and Other Poems (Phoenix Poets)
By Michael Collier. 2018
Think of a time when you’ve feigned courage to make a friend, feigned forgiveness to keep one, or feigned indifference…
to simply stay out of it. What does it mean for our intimacies to fail us when we need them most? The poems of this collection explore such everyday dualities—how the human need for attachment is as much a source of pain as of vitality and how our longing for transcendence often leads to sinister complicities. The title poem tells the conflicted and devastating story of the poet’s friendship with the now-disgraced Bishop of Phoenix, Arizona, interweaving fragments of his parents’ funerals, which the Bishop concelebrated, with memories of his childhood spiritual leanings and how they were disrupted by a pedophilic priest the Bishop failed to protect him from. This meditation on spiritual life, physical death, and betrayal is joined by an array of poised, short lyrics and expansive prose poems exploring how the terror and unpredictability of our era intrudes on our most intimate moments. Whether Michael Collier is writing about an airline disaster, Huey Newton’s trial, Thomas Jefferson’s bees, a piano in the woods, or his own fraught friendship with the disgraced Catholic Bishop, his syntactic verve, scrupulously observed detail, and flawless ear bring the felt—and sometimes frightening—dimensions of the mundane to life. Throughout, this collection pursues a quiet but ferocious need to get to the bottom of things.A máquina de viver

By Mois Benarroch. 2019
Un libro scritto in rete, nei minimi messaggi di internet, come un campione del grande poeta ebreo, Mois Benarroch, che…
mostra che è possibile fare un'altra poesia. In questo caso, è quello che scorre attraverso i social network, con piccoli spazi in cui è possibile scrivere, caratteri limitati, vincolati da nuove forme tecnologiche. Ma la libertà creativa scorre, da Israele al resto del mondo, con versi brevi e potenti che risvegliano la vita di tutti i giorni con nuove sorprese. Mois, neoepicúreo del verso, si diverte a fumare vicino alla spiaggia di lettere di lingue, gettandole in nuvole che si fondono con il cielo mediterraneo e volano.
