Book Reviews
Review by Anne Collins This collection of bilingual poems reflects the author’s intimate knowledge of both languages resulting in a seamless and sensitive rendering in either version. Nothing is lost in translation, and the English, or Spanish reader will get the same delicate, poignant and personal view of the poet's soul. Read an excerpt from this book opens in new window About Marie Delgado Travis Marie Delgado Travis is proud of her Nuyorican roots. Holding Masters Degrees in Literature and Law, she is the author of three chapbooks of bilingual poetry, ANOCHECER / NIGHTFALL, OFRENDA / OFFERING and PASION / PASSION, as well as a book of poetry in English, ORIGAMI. All are available worldwide through online booksellers. Marie has won awards in both poetry and prose: most recently, SECOND PLACE for her poem "The Window" in the international Tom Howard Poetry Contest. Two of Marie's pieces, “Me and Don Paco” (a personal essay) and “Abolengo” (a poem) are included in the newly released mass market anthology, CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE LATINO SOUL. She and her husband divide their time between homes in Houston, TX and Isla Verde, PR. Visit Marie's website at: http://hometown.aol.com/marilutravis/index.html  |
