Homesick for Death
Author: Xavier Villaurrutia
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Gay & Lesbian Studies. Translated from the Spanish by D.M. Stroud and a preface and afterword by Elias Nandino. Xavier Villaurrutia (1903-1950) was the most distinguished member of Mexico's most celebrated literary group, the Contemporaneos. A closet queen who escaped his closet, instead of bursting forth with the energy of a Whitman, he flits about the corridors of his dreams like a sinister black moth. The very suppression of energy here is what creates its intensity, as in the unforgettable Decimas. This is the first complete bilingual edition of Villaurrutia's poems and will fill an important gap in the study of both gay and Mexican literature. "These beautiful translations convey perfectly the mixture of fear, hope, guilt, sensuality and elegance that are so typical of Villaurrutia"--Manuel Duran.

Reading and Writing the Ambiente
Author: Susana Chávez-Silverman
Publisher: Univ of Wisconsin Press
ISBN: 9780299167844
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
In this dynamic collection of essays, many leading literary scholars trace gay and lesbian themes in Latin American, Hispanic, and U.S. Latino literary and cultural texts. Reading and Writing the Ambiente is consciously ambitious and far-ranging, historically as well as geographically. It includes discussions of texts from as early as the seventeenth century to writings of the late twentieth century. Reading and Writing the Ambiente also underscores the ways in which lesbian and gay self-representation in Hispanic texts differs from representations in Anglo-American texts. The contributors demonstrate that--unlike the emphasis on the individual in Anglo- American sexual identity--Latino, Spanish, and Latin American sexual identity is produced in the surrounding culture and community, in the ambiente. As one of the first collections of its kind, Reading and Writing the Ambiente is expressive of the next wave of gay Hispanic and Latin scholarship.

Book Description
This study concentrates on close analysis and evaluation of his poetry. It moves from the specific to the more abstract, from commentary on lexicon and syntax through metrics and figurative language to a consideration of the poet's major themes: love, death, and oppressive solitude. The final section is an evaluation of the poetry itself and of Villaurrutia's place in Mexican literature and in a larger Western tradition.
