Voces De La Tierra
Resumen del Libro
Between wisdom & passion, this anthology reflects a deep concern for humanity & nature. Identified with the underdog, Berger-Kiss moves admirably from one language to the other, confronts them, plays with them, often provokes them like a warrior who spurs his wild steed before the final battle. VOICESVOCES is a strong fistful of poems expressed with feeling & artistry in two different languages by the same author, written with equal passion & conviction in Spanish as in English. This publication has also a symbolic value, it highlights the throbbing issue of our continents reality: the linguistic cohabitation, the alternation of two languages which represent the North & the South: the opulence & the need, wrote Gregorio Martinez, Peruvian authorcritic. A Hungarian educated in Medellin, Colombia, with a Ph.D. (Clinical Psychology, U. Missouri), Berger-Kiss, with over 30 publications in his specialty, is the author of the novel Children of the Dawn, published in Bogota. His stories have appeared in Latin America & Europe as well as the United States, where he won a national prize for The Sharpener, now being made into a motion picture. Spanish-English versions being side-by-side facilitates learning of either language.
