La Casa Vacia

Casa vacía ~ Empty House is an anthology of poetry and short fiction authored by four students of the MFA Program in Spanish Creative Writing at the University of Iowa. The authors are Christian de León, Juan Díaz Ortiz, Leticia Fernández-Fontecha, and Yamila Transtenvot. Casa vacía ~ Empty House is more than an anthology - it is also a bilingual, Spanish to English literary translation, with translations done by Kathleen Archer, Juan Díaz Ortiz, Mallory Truckenmiller Saylor, and Paul E. Davies. Written and translated during the Covid-19 pandemic, the collaboration inherent in producing these literary works affirms the authors' and translators' determination to confront a prevailing sense of global anxiety and estrangement. The works presented in this volume were created at the intense intersection of two creative forces: the heterogeneous, marginocentric culture of Iowa City (the home of the MFA Program), and the unique and life-engendering worlds of each author and translator. The book is a window into the most contemporary poetry and prose being written in a range of Spanish-speaking cultures.

Las historias e invenciones de Félix Muriel, de Rafael Dieste, se publicaron en Buenos Aires en 1943 y, ya entonces, pudo causar cierta sorpresa el hecho de que su autor, exiliado republicano, no se refiriera en ellas a la reciente guerra de España ni a sus consecuencias. Sin embargo, de modo subrepticio, la política estructura el texto y contribuye a construir la problemática unidad del libro -un libro que muchos llamaron "obra maestra" y que José Ramón Marra-López ha situado "al margen de toda posible clasificación". No para clasificarlo, sino para entender esa "marginalidad" y los motivos de su encanto está escrito este estudio, el primero dedicado en extenso específicamente al volumen y el primero que contempla con detenimiento el manuscrito autógrafo.

Over the last three decades, migration from Mexico to the United States has moved beyond the borderlands to diverse communities across the country, with the most striking transformations in American suburbs and small towns. This study explores the challenges encountered by Mexican families as they endeavor to find their place in the U.S. by focusing on Kennett Square, a small farming village in Pennsylvania known as the "Mushroom Capital of the World." In a highly readable account based on extensive fieldwork among Mexican migrants and their American neighbors, Debra Lattanzi Shutika explores the issues of belonging and displacement that are central concerns for residents in communities that have become new destinations for Mexican settlement. Beyond the Borderlands also completes the circle of migration by following migrant families as they return to their hometown in Mexico, providing an illuminating perspective of the tenuous lives of Mexicans residing in, but not fully part of, two worlds.
