about my books
MIEDOS (FEARS) - 1st Edition
This is my first book of poetry. It was published in my native Buenos Aires in 1976, a controversial time for Argentina. The book contains poetry inspired by different sources and recurrent themes, such as the times we lived, the nature and purpose of our existence, the search for Love, and the recognition of the existence of a higher consciousness. The book prologue was written by writer renowned writer Cesar Tiempo and illustrated by the celebrated painter Santiago Cogorno. Just three books remain from this first edition. I am currently working in the translation of this book into the English language towards the publication of a bilingual English-Spanish language 2nd edition.
MIEDOS (FEARS) - 2nd Edition
In 1979, I arrived in New York acting as a press correspondent. The exposure to the unparalleled mosaic of cultures, races, ethnicities, and the enormous energy that characterizes this Metropolis, was an enormous source of inspiration for my work as a journalist and my poetry. This was in fact the main force leading to the re-edition of this book in New York in 1982 and the book Poemas del Cielo y de la Tierra (Poems of Heaven and Earth) included in this book.
POEMAS DEL CIELO Y DE LA TIERRA
This book is a selection of poetry written since my arrival to New York City. At times, the poems included in this book, act as silent witnesses of a metropolis of tremendous contrasts, placing at its center the human being and its various circumstances. In 1982 when this book was published, I produced, wrote, and hosted in New York, a daily TV Spanish language public service program, which became very popular. At this time, I also wrote a weekly counseling column in the Spanish language newspaper of major circulation in the city. The book sold very well with the exception of a few I still conserve. I am completing the translation work of this book into the English language and will seek publication towards an English-Spanish bilingual publication.
COMING BOOK POEMS OF LOVE
This will be my first English-Spanish bilingual book, and the first time my poetry will be published in the English language. The book is currently in the production phase and it will be available as an e-book and in print at bookstores locally and abroad this coming December. The concept of the book started a long time ago, inspired by a poem written by Walt Whitman: “Out of the Rolling Ocean the Crowd” The book was born during the coronavirus pandemic. Its main theme and sources of inspiration are the longing for Love in these challenging times, the vibrant beauty of the California Central Coast, the overwhelming energy that characterizes New York City, and the tranquil amazing beauty of the Catskill Mountains.
