Según Marie-Lise Gazarian-Gautier, editora y prologuista de esta nueva antología biling³e, «la poesía intensa y a la vez sensitiva que se recoge en este libro es un mosaico extraordinario compuesto de doce poetas talentosos nacidos en lugares distintos del mundo hispano que, por motivos variados, escogieron establecerse en uno de los cinco condados de la æGran ManzanaÆ, apodo familiar que se le da a la ciudad de Nueva York. Sus países de origen son los más representativos de la gente que puebla la región neoyorquina, lo que explica el motivo de nuestra selección. A los nueve poetas que enriquecían el primer volumen, se han unido otros tres: un chileno, una cubana y un dominicano. Las doce voces, en orden alfabético, son las siguientes: Francisco -lvarez-Koki (Galicia, España), Raúl Barrientos (Chile), Yolanda Blanco (Nicaragua), Petronio Rafael Cevallos (Ecuador), Miguel Falquéz-Certain (Colombia), Isabel Fraire (México), Isaac Goldemberg (Perú), Alexis Gómez-Rosa (República Dominicana), Maya Islas (Cuba), Pedro L¢pez-Adorno (Puerto Rico), Jaime Montesinos (Ecuador) y Mercedes Roff’ (Argentina)».

NEW BILINGUAL ANTHOLOGY
Due to the excellent reception of Entre rascacielos: Nueve poetas hispanos en Nueva York (338 pp.), the Editorial Section of the Ecuadorian House of Culture, Chapter of Chimborazo (Ecuador); and the Ecuadorian House of Culture, International Chapter of New York, together announce the publication of an important new poetry anthology, this time in a bilingual format (Spanish / English), Entre rascacielos / Amid Skyscrapers: Doce poetas hispanos en Nueva York / Twelve Hispanic Poets in New York (400 pp). The launching of this work will take place, first, in Ecuador, during the month of August, and then in New York City and other cities around the United States, starting next September. The itinerary of presentations in Ecuador is as follows: Quito, August 8; Riobamba, August 9; Guayaquil, August 10; and The Galapagos Islands, August 14. All the presentations will be carried out at the auditorium of the Ecuadorian House of Culture in the indicated cities and locations, at 19:00 (EST).
According to Marie-Lise Gazarian-Gautier, editor of this new bilingual anthology, «The intense and at the same time sensitive poetry gathered in this book is an extraordinary mosaic made up of twelve talented poets born in different places from the Hispanic world who, for varied reasons, chose to establish themselves in one of the five boroughs of the ‘Big Apple’, the familiar name given to New York City. Their countries of origin are most representative of the people who live in the New York area, which explains the reason for our selection. To the nine poets who enriched the first volume, three have been added: a Chilean, a Cuban and a Dominican. The twelve voices, in alphabetical order, are the following: Francisco -lvarez-Koki (Galicia, Spain), Raol Barrientos (Chile), Yolanda Blanco (Nicaragua), Petronio Rafael Cevallos (Ecuador), Miguel Falquez-Certain (Colombia), Isabel Fraire (Mexico), Isaac Goldemberg (Peru), Alexis G¢mez-Rosa (Dominican Republic), Maya Islas (Cuba), Pedro L¢pez-Adorno (Puerto Rico), Jaime Montesinos (Ecuador) and Mercedes Roff’ (Argentina).»
