Tapa blanda - 414 Páginas

Instalándose en la sólida tradición intelectual de la crítica literaria puertorriqueña, Melanie Pérez Ortiz nos regala este libro de exploración profunda de la estética literaria contemporánea en Puerto Rico. En "La revolución de los apetencias", Pérez Ortiz parte de la muerte como punto de inflexión y reflexión de los muchos textos abordados en su ensayo y que salen a la luz en un Puerto Rico que no se piensa ya insular, sino global y partícipe de diálogos literarios en un mundo donde la necropolítica es cada vez más protagonista de la interacción entre los ciudadanos, la industria y el Estado. Este libro explora y reflexiona acerca de cómo los puertorriqueños contemporáneos lidiamos con la muerte (física, ritual, simbólico-literaria) en medio de nuestro actual estado permanente de emergencia, huracanes, juntas fiscales, migraciones forzosas y el debacle del proyecto modernizador colonial que nos ha hecho fijar la mirada en la pérdida.

-Mayra Santos Febres

Este libro que hemos estado esperando, que nos cuenta cómo la literatura de las últimas décadas se dedica a cuidar de sus muertos en un Puerto Rico lleno de cadáveres y crisis. Desplazando del mito de Edipo por el de Antígona, la literatura puertorriqueña, cual animal colectivo, parece querer decirnos algo sobre nuestros cuerpos, sobre la especie, parece encontrar sentidos y fines justo cuando la academia, la iglesia y los medios proclamaban apocalípticamente la llegada irreversible de los finales de la nación, de la historia, de la izquierda, etcétera. Es una literatura mamífera que ante tanta muerte ignora la ansiedad de la influencia para abrir un proceso creativo en comunión con los ancestros que están por ahí siempre dispuestos a conversar.


-Luis Othoniel Rosa

... or sacred poem as my focus of concentration) I enjoy reading this book at bedtime for inspiration
Format: Paperback
Since I began practicing Passage Meditation (meditating on a prayer or sacred poem as my focus of concentration) I enjoy reading this book at bedtime for inspiration. I find that when certain prayers or poems resonate with me, stanzas from them will come to me during the day. Some of them I memorize quicker than others. I appreciate this book for having so many from so many traditions compiled and translated so beautifully. At the back of the book you can look them up by category, such as prayers for courage, or fear, etc. I am surprised at how many I have memorized, and how much they affect my thoughts throughout the day.

Make your life a work of art
Format: Kindle
These passages drawn from all the world's great spiritual traditions coupled with enthusiastic sustained practice of Eknath Easwaran s 8point program can provide depth and meaning to one's life and a greater understanding of what the check it is we are all doing here on this beautiful yet long suffering planet. Don't be thrown off by the quiet delivery or the religious stuff -- it's always common sense experience based and never heavy handed. You'll get as much out of it as you put into it. The people that have used this form of meditation and are associated w the blue mountain center are some of the most extraordinary humble people you will ever meet. Good luck.

A Beautiful Resource
Format: Kindle
Eknath Easwaran was a wonderful teacher who taught passage meditation, memorizing and repeating to oneself sacred writings. These writings are drawn from many of the great religious traditions. In the last few years of my aging mother's life, she and I spent many hours reading these passages together, meditating on them, and discussing them. We had our favorites and when one of us was travelling, we would agree to meditate on one or two particular ones at the same time wherever we were. At her death, I recited many of these passages to her to bring her peace. She died more than a decade ago but these passages still evoke that beautiful time in my mind and I am grateful for this beautiful resource of passages. I find that everything in this book is a source of peace when I read and meditation on it.

Printed version would have been better
Format: Kindle
The reason I gave "God Makes the Rivers Flow" 4-stars, instead of 5-stars, is a reflection on my choice to get the Kindle Edition. I love my Kindle. But, this book would be better to flip though, not to read like a novel. I think a printed version would have been a better choice. I have a lot of respect for Eknath Easwaran. He did not just tolerate diversity, he genuinely valued diversity. His works are a great way to bring traditions and peoples together, not only by showing what they have in common (although that is valuable too), but by cerebrating the ways that they differ. His works demonstrate that each tradition has noticed something about God that others did not, and they all add value to humanity's global relationship with God. "God Makes the Rivers Flow" is a great example of that.
