Five years after the publication of the internationally acclaimed volume of poems, MY NIGHT WITH FREDERICO GARCIA LORCA (in its third printing), Jaime Manrique, called by the Washington Post Book World, "The most accomplished gay Latino writer of his generation," delivers his second volume of poems in a ilingual edition. TARZAN, MY BODY, CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS is three books in one, including work that spans a quarter of a century. TARZAN offers a handful of recent poems written by Manrique in English; MY BODY was originally published in Spanish in 1999 in Bogota, receiving high praise and becoming one of the most popular books of poems to be published in Colombia in recent years. CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS ON HIS DEATHBED is an epic poem written in 1979, until now unpublished. Originally written to be published on the 500th anniversary of Columbus arrival to the New World, the poem will appear now closer to the Quincentenary of Columbus' death in 2006. It has an introduction by Reinaldo Arenas. The two volumes, offered in bilingual format, has been masterfully translated into English by two of the greatest translators of our time, Edith Grossman and Margaret Sayers Peden.

Exhibition catalogue featuring forty years of painting by contemporary American Painter and print maker Bill Sullivan. The catalogue was published in conjunction with a major retrospective exhibition, THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF BILL SULLIVAN , which opened at the Albany Institute of History and Art on June 22, 2006. Sullivan's stunning landscapes range from iconic views of New York State, including Hudson River, Catskill Mountains, Niagara Falls and New York City, to the mountains, volcanoes and waterfalls of Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela. In his work, Sullivan captures the "soul of the place" by combining his keen sense of observation with memory and imagination. The Colombian writer Jaime Manrique has written the essay to accompany the exhibition. The autobiography of Bill Sullivan includes 50 full color plates, including many of the paintings in the exhibition. Preface is by John Ashberry with additional comments by Reinaldo Arenas.

( Exuberant and colorful, Latin Moon in Manhattan paints ...)
Exuberant and colorful, Latin Moon in Manhattan paints a vivid portrait of New York City as the land of El Dorado for today’s Latino immigrants. From Little Colombia in Queens to the street life of Times Square, this brilliant novel is crowded with an extraordinary cast of characters: Hot Sauce, a midget hooker; Simon Bolivar, a parrot who croons Julio Iglesias songs; the Urrutias, a family rich from cocaine smuggling; Santiago Martinez, a loner and would-be poet whose ancient cat, Mr. O’Donnell, is slowly dying of an enlarged heart. Exploding with a profusion of plots and subplots involving drug smuggling, romance, and the literary politics of Queens, Latin Moon in Manhattan is a rich and utterly charming work.

( From critically acclaimed author Jaime Manrique, comes ...)
From critically acclaimed author Jaime Manrique, comes a breathtaking, sweeping novel based on the life of one of the most controversial women in the history of the Americas. Before there was an Eva Peron, Collette, or Mata Hari, there was Manuela Saenz. Arguably one of the most fascinatingly sexy women in all history, she single–handedly helped to secure independence for much of South America from Spain. Based on actual events, Our Lives Are The Rivers tells the life story of a woman who was willing to risk it all for her country –and her lover–and in whose legacy lies the history of an entire continent. The novel begins in 1822, when Simón Bolívar, known as The Liberator, marches into Quito, victoriously leading an army that had overthrown its Spanish rulers, winning independence for a giant swath of land in what is now South America. As he makes his way through the cheering crowds on the streets, his eye catches sight of Manuel Sáenz, a beautiful young woman of means who wore on her chest the gold medal of Knight of the Sun–the first honor given by the new republic to any woman in the New World. The attraction between them was so strong, they became lovers that same night, and remained together for the following 8 years, the last of Bolívar's life. Told from the point of view of Manuela Saenz, as well as that of her two loyal slaves, Our Lives Are The Rivers is a novel of intoxicating love, passion, and adventure, with dynamic continent struggling for its own identity as its backdrop.
