Yes, I Cry. is a deeply intimate poetry collection about grief in all its forms: heartbreak, loss, sorrow, longing, emotional exhaustion, and the quiet pain that lingers long after the world expects healing to have already begun. Tender, raw, and unflinchingly honest, these poems explore what it means to carry ache in the body, memory in the chest, and survival in trembling hands. They are for the ones mourning people, versions of themselves, broken hopes, and the softness they never got to keep.

Of the two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer, The Odyssey serves to some extent as a sequel to The Iliad. The poem describes the journey home of Odysseus, the king of Ithaca, after the fall of Troy. In the Greek sources, the Trojan War lasted 10 years, and Odysseus spent 10 more years on the return journey due to the hostility of Poseidon, the god of earth and sea. Odysseus' fantastical adventures include a period of captivity on Calypso’s island, a visit to the lethargic lotus eaters, an encounter with a one-eyed Cyclops, and more.

Ultravidas, es el espacio donde el tiempo se bifurca y emergen las nostalgias, las reminiscencias, los placeres y el amor. Trae el verso, el orgasmo, el arte, la cofradía, lo inmensurable del ayer y lo incierto del mañana. Viniendo de cualquier parte, de Cuba y de Miami, del surrealismo de la memoria, de ti y de mí, nos involucra en su afición por la feminidad y los encantos de la carne sin vestir, mas se deconstruye en desamores tremendamente lacónicos.

Odysseus has been away from Ithaca, the Greek city-state under his rule, for ten years while fighting in the Trojan War. After the fall of Troy, Odysseus begins the long journey home to his wife and son; however, his journey is plagued by misfortune as the gods feud over his fate, leaving the Ithacans to believe that he has died.

Emily Dickinson was one of the most reclusive of all poets. She spent much of her life in seclusion in her father’s house in Amherst, and only a handful of her 1800 poems were published in her lifetime. Credit for the posthumous publication of her work must be given to her editor and friend Thomas W. Higginson, who reported that, in spite of the voluminous correspondence which passed between himself and Dickinson, he only met her twice in person.
