Self-portrait in the zone of silence / by Aridjis, Homero,author.; McWhirter, George,translator.; translation of:Aridjis, Homero.Autorretrato en la zona de silencio.English.;
"Self-Portrait in the Zone of Silence, by the renowned Mexican writer Homero Aridjis, is a brilliant collection of poems written in and for the new century. Aridjis seeks spiritual transformation through encounters with mythical animals, family ghosts, migrant workers, Mexico's oppressed, female saints, other writers (such as Jorge Luis Borges and Philip Lamantia), and naked angels in the metro. We find tributes to Goya and Heraclitus, denunciations of drug traffickers and political figureheads, and unforgettable imaginary landscapes. As Aridjis himself writes: "a poem is like a door / we've never passed through ... " And now past eighty, Aridjis reflects on the past and ponders the future. "Surrounded by light and the warbling of birds," he writes, "I live in a state of poetry, because for me, being and making poetry are the same.""--

Five ways to disappear / by Greenaway, R. M.,author.;
"A dangerous undercover assignment nearly puts Dion in his grave. North Vancouver RCMP constables Leith and Dion have several mysteries to solve in the optimistic spring sunshine, starting with who has skewered the annoying Lawrence Follick to his own lawn, up in the heights of Lost Pony Road. Could it be the irate next-door neighbours, who openly disagree with Follick's landscaping aesthetics? Or a random attack? The murders don't end with Follick, though, promising a grim reckoning if the killer isn't roped in soon. Meanwhile, Dion becomes ensnarled in a mystery of his own -- he's involved with a magician who has made herself disappear. Putting aside his worry, he takes on an undercover role in order to finally nab the Lost Pony Road killer. Can he lure the perpetrator into another attack, and live to tell about it?"--Provided by publisher.
