  From Shade to Shine - New Poems

  This collection of poems begins in the growing darkness of November, stretches through Advent and the seasons leading to Easter and to Pentecost, and ends in the budding light of the Scottish Orkney Islands, where the canonical hours measure time over centuries and where God broods over an austere and beautiful landscape. The measurement of time passing and returning, year after year, in the rhythms of the seasons and of the liturgical year, create the pace and the song. But in the biblical voices of Magdalene, Mary, Abel, and Eve, and in the grim historical and political realities of war and suffering, one also hears lament and finds the poet's clear-eyed gaze straight into life's challenges. Memory is at work here, too, in personal reminiscences and in theological reflection. As one philosopher has said, "All truth is God's truth." 
  
  From Shade to Shine is published under Paraclete Press's Iron Pen imprint. In the book of Job, a suffering man pours out his anguish to his Maker. From the depths of his pain, he reveals a trust in God's goodness that is stronger than his despair, giving humanity some of the most beautiful and poetic verses of all time. Paraclete's Iron Pen imprint is inspired by this spirit of unvarnished honesty and tenacious hope.

  months of wondering what the hell happened, and if it was a dream or not. finally arriving upon an affirming decision, only to second-guess myself again. all those things they say about emotional young women: rape accuser, attention whore. why am i the one at fault? you did this to me? all i did was type it out. but you are the one who wrote me this. and you know what? let the blood boil. it was never ego going to my head. it was blood rushing to my head. just like it happened then. and all the nerves permanently stained by emotional memory; the ones that are supposed to be sacred to a woman. the ones that were mine, but you made yours. a tragic haunting: they speak to me in the night. and after years of waiting, wondering what can i do? they whispered to me, closely in my ear: write the book.

  Tertulia

  Vincent Toro’s new collection takes the Latin American idea of an artistic social gathering (the tertulia) and revises 
  it for the Latinx context in the United States. In verses dense with juxtaposition, these poems examine immigration, 
  economics, colonialism, and race via the sublime imagery of music, visual art, and history. Toro draws from his own 
  social justice work in various U.S. cities to create a kaleidoscopic vision of the connections between the personal 
  and the political, the local and the global, in a book that both celebrates and questions the complexities of the 
  human condition.

  Prosas Profanas

  Rubén Darío

  Prosas Profanas is one of Rubén Darío's most celebrated and transformative works, a dazzling collection that solidified his role as the leading voice of the Modernismo movement in Spanish-language literature. First published in 1896, this remarkable volume represents the height of Darío's aesthetic experimentation, combining musical precision, sensual imagery, and cosmopolitan sophistication in a way that forever changed the course of Hispanic poetry.
  
  In this collection, Darío embraces artistic freedom with bold confidence. Drawing inspiration from French symbolism, classical mythology, and the elegance of European culture, he creates a poetic universe filled with princes, nymphs, swans, marble palaces, and dreamlike landscapes. Each poem is carefully crafted, rich with rhythm and sonic beauty, reflecting his belief that poetry should delight the senses as much as it stirs the intellect.
  
  Yet beneath the ornamental surface lies a deeper artistic vision. Prosas Profanas is not merely an exercise in decorative language; it is a declaration of creative independence. Darío challenges conventional themes and traditional forms, reshaping metrics and revitalizing Spanish verse with fresh cadences and innovative structures. His poetry moves fluidly between the sensual and the spiritual, the pagan and the sacred, the worldly and the transcendent.
  
  The collection also reflects the cultural currents of the late nineteenth century. In an era marked by modernization and shifting identities, Darío's work offers both escape and subtle commentary. His cosmopolitan outlook bridges continents, blending Latin American sensibilities with European influences to create a truly international voice. Through his refined aesthetic, he affirms art as a realm of beauty, imagination, and renewal.
  
  One of the defining features of Prosas Profanas is its musicality. Darío's masterful control of rhythm, sound, and imagery elevates language to a near-symphonic level. His verses shimmer with color and movement, inviting readers into a world where art becomes an act of transformation. The poems celebrate desire, elegance, mythology, and the creative spirit itself, embodying the Modernista pursuit of harmony and refinement.
  
  Over time, Prosas Profanas has come to be recognized as a cornerstone of modern Hispanic literature. Its innovative style influenced generations of poets across Spain and Latin America, shaping the evolution of twentieth-century poetry. Darío's ability to unite technical mastery with imaginative freedom continues to captivate readers and scholars alike.
  
  A luminous testament to artistic audacity and poetic reinvention, Prosas Profanas remains a landmark achievement—an enduring celebration of beauty, rhythm, and the boundless possibilities of language.
