Edición 3 de Octubre 2012 by El Vocero de Puerto Rico

El cuerpo del delito

LIBROS

José Ángel Rosado Como un detective que anota pistas y ata cabos sueltos, en este libro el autor invita a conocer de cerca el fascinante mundo de la literatura policial. Desde Edgar Allan Poe hasta escritores puertorriqueños que cultivan el género, aquí se propone el origen del relato detectivesco como una manifestación de las técnicas barrocas, la prensa, la fotografía y el cine. El autor es catedrático del Departamento de Estudios Hispánicos de la Universidad de Puerto Rico en Cayey.

EL VOCERO / ESCENARIO / MIÉRCOLES, 3 DE OCTUBRE DE 2012

Gaviotas en vuelo Iris M. Landrón Bou Este es el más reciente poemario de la poeta puertorriqueña creadora de los ‘Cucubanos’ que publica El Vocero. La obra congrega unos 61 poemas breves escritos durante las pasadas tres décadas en Puerto Rico y Venezuela. La mar, siempre presente en su vida y obra, es tema recurrente en esta obra, así como son el amor, la unión con la naturaleza y el sentimiento patrio. En sus versos le habla al árbol, al perro, al gato, al alcatraz, a la gaviota que “perfora el corazón del cielo”... El libro está disponible impreso y digital en Amazon.com.
