The Best of Latin American Short Stories
Selection and translation by Anthony Ramírez, edited by Bernard Hamel
Extreme care was taken both in the selection of the stories (which represent a diverse cross-section of Latin American authors) and the quality of the translation. Mr. Anthony Ramirez, a librarian at the Oxnard Public Library System, who selected and translated the stories, was chosen for this project by virtue of his proficiency in both languages, his dedication to Hispanic culture and his skill in short-story telling.

Another America/Otra America (poetry)
Barbara Kingsolver

Extravagaria
Pablo Neruda
One of Pablo Neruda's own favorites among his books, Extravagaria marks an important stage in the progress of his poetry. It was written at the point in his life when he had returned to Chile after many wanderings and moved to Isla Negra on the Pacific coast. These writings celebrate this coming to rest, this rediscovery of the sea and the land, for in Extravagaria Neruda evolved a lyric poetry that is decidedly more personal than his earlier work. Written in what he called his "autumnal" period, the sixty-eight poems range from the wistful to the exultant, combining psalm and speculation, meditation and humorous aside.

Twenty Love Poems: And A Song Of Despair
Pablo Neruda
First published in 1924, Veinte poemas de amor y una cancion desesperada remains among Pablo Neruda's most popular work. Daringly metaphorical and sensuous, this collection juxtaposes youthful passion with the desolation of grief. Drawn from the poet's most intimate and personal associations, the poems combine eroticism and the natural world with the influence of expressionism and the genius of a master poet. This edition features the newly corrected original Spanish text, with masterly English translations by award-winning poet W. S. Merwin on facing pages.

The Book of Questions
Pablo Neruda
While Neruda craved the clarity rendered by an examined life, he refused to be corralled by the rational mind. These brief poems are composed entirely of 316 unanswerable questions, and integrate the wonder of a child with the experiences of an adult. This new edition has a new, attractive format and an updated introduction by translator William O'Daly.

Stones of the Sky
Pablo Neruda
This suite is Neruda's last love song to the Earth. As the title suggests, the "man of decay" (Neruda is dying of cancer) addresses not ordinary stones, but cosmic ones: stones that reconcile immobile permanence and the clarity of spiritual flight. When the poet meets his crystallized self, the encounter "takes on an eerie brilliance" (The Village Voice). Bilingual with introduction.

Nostalgia for Death/Hieroglyphs of Desire
Octavio Paz / Xavier Villaurrutia
A unique combination of poetry and critical study, which the Los Angles Times called "One of the most important collections in recent memory." Nostalgia for Death is the sole book of Xavier Villaurrutia, who was one of the few openly homosexual Latin American writers and one of Mexico's most important authors of the early twentieth century, and is translated by Eliot Weinberger with the Spanish text en face. Hieroglyphs of Desire is a book-length study of Villaurrutia by Nobel Laureate Octavio Paz. "The poetry of Villaurrutia," Paz writes, "seems to have been written not only in some other country, but in a place beyond geography and history."
