"The closest thing we have in contemporary Spanish poetry to the expanded poetry of which Novalis spoke about." -Alberto Santamaría, Revista Turia"A voice of clarity, of rigour - the poetry of Juan Andrés García Román is a gesture in the direction of an oft forgotten project - poetry as a gift, as an acceptance of limitation, a gesture into the language we use to describe existence and experience. His tone is ethereal, graceful and somehow, beyond a justification, indelibly Spanish." -SJ Fowler, 3: AM

"Masterful is a discourse, a satire, a pamphlet, a diatribe. It is the language of an apocalyptic and suicidal king abdicating his seat, his language, the Spanish language, because he can't tolerate the mediocrity acquiesced to by the average writer and reader. - Diego Sánchez Aguilar[He is] neither avant-garde nor marginalized, neither quirky nor any other lazy or easy label. Rubén Martín Giráldez is simply a highly original writer, and his Masterful (entertaining, sadistic, and verbose) demands interpretive insolence. A lure that all audacious readers should get hooked on. -Gonzalo Torné

Located at the north of the Yucatán peninsula, Holbox island, Mayan for "black hole," is a vortex of biodiversity. However, Holbox faces environmental collapse due to the difficulties in management of its massive production of solid waste. This unique atmosphere and current ecological challenges have amplified the mission of our first eco-residency: to cultivate ecological awareness into our creative expressions. The green flash is an optical phenomenon that occurs on the horizon, around sunrise or sunset, when the weather conditions are favorable. It is also the title of this anthology as it represents our collective yearning to create, in life and art, the most propitious conditions so that this planet continues to be a home for life in its multiple and vibrant forms.

"This book of poems by Lila Zemborain offers a meditative space built around the number four, a tricky measurement of the brain that connects us symbolically with foundations, logic, reason, the material ground, and consequently the human and mortal in contraposition to the divine. The squares of which this book is composed resemble surfaces where thought is flattened and refrained. However one can find invisible hinges that allow us to look inside our intellect and peek as far as sight can get, even though the borders of matter whisper in our ears that we cannot transcend; that we begin and end in a limited numbers of cells. We can look but how often do we see." Esther Giménez con G

"The experience of One Day in the Secret Forest of Words is, without any doubt or blandishment, an experience of rapport with the observable and of openness to its profound import." Carlos Andrés Landázuri Súarez, Universidad de las Artes, Ecuador. "Vicente Valero is a writer of great metaphysical profundity, but a realist withal, not abstract. He has the privilege of observing both death and love." Octavio Paz Nobel Prize for Literature, 1990.

"The only possible points of comparison for Javier Moreno’s Alma, a book made of sentences, dealing with the materiality of the living, and obsessed with sorting, would be those texts that are most luminous and uncanny. Alma, unlike anything else I have read, brings together certain amazing qualities of Craig Dworkin’s Legion (which consists entirely of statements from a psychiatric diagnostic instrument), of the more radical of David Markson’s novels, and of the quietly fevered voices from the writing of Roberto Bolaño. Is it a soul? A novel? Interesting questions – but in any case, Alma is a configuration of words that demands to be sorted through, one that is compellingly unhinged, open and shut.” Nick Montfort, Professor of Media Studies at MIT.

“A first phrase is always a first phrase: it begins. And in these poetic theorems, each theorem is always a first phrase. And the beginning, any beginning, always has additional force: it's always at the inception of a process where the greatest quantity of a substance is concentrated.”  —Gonçalo Tavares, author of Jerusalem“Landing between prose and poetry, science and art, philosophy and spirituality, The Hidden Third charismatically disseminates a new renaissance transmission, one highly pertinent for contemporary times. Leaving the reader breathless, re-imagined, re-generated. Mind duly sanctified.” “  —Gary P. Hampson, co-creator of The University for the Future“We could ask Basarab Nicolescu about the last constituents of matter or language, since language is according to him a truly quantum phenomena. Nicolescu also takes a step further by introducing the logic of the third secretly included in the classical Aristotelian logic,  which  plays the role of a living symbol that unites contradictions, by embracing and fusing them.” —Michel Camus, writer and member of the International Center for Interdisciplinary Research
