Gifts: An Almanac of Gratitude / Ofrendas: un almanaque de gratitud: An Almanac of Gratitude


Overview

In this posthumously published collection of narrative poems, Marjorie Agosín’s intention was to share the culmination of a lifetime of gifts—to be given, received, shared, appreciated, and contemplated—that bring beauty, delight, and wonder to our lives.  Marjorie’s many beautiful poems explore words: their organic nature, how they can be strung together, and how they can be used to create a plethora of meanings for different contexts. When you read Gifts, you will see the magic of words in action as her poems evoke different feelings and lead to different interpretations with each subsequent reading. _____ En esta colección de poemas narrativos publicada póstumamente, Marjorie Agosín pretendía compartir la culminación de toda una vida de regalos para dar, recibir, compartir, apreciar y contemplar; regalos que Marjorie esperaba que aportaran belleza, alegría y asombro a nuestras vidas.  Los numerosos y bellos poemas de Marjorie exploran las palabras: su naturaleza orgánica, cómo se pueden enhebrar y cómo se pueden utilizar para crear una gran variedad de significados en diferentes contextos. Al leer Ofrendas, se ve la magia de las palabras en plena acción puesto que los poemas de Marjorie evocan diferentes sentimientos y dan lugar a diferentes interpretaciones con cada lectura.
