White Pine Press Starry Night
Book SynopsisAcclaimed Chilean poet Majorie Agosin creates a sensual portrait of Vincent van Gogh and his world. Much like this great impressionist painter used a palette of vivid colours to convey his perceptions of the sun-filled world of the South of France, Agosin uses a lexicon of vivid words that seem to mimic the swirls of colour found in so many of van Gogh's great works.

White Pine Press The Landscape of Castile
Book SynopsisThis is the first complete English translation of Campos de Castilla, the book central to Machado's work, which was written between 1907 and 1917. Machado made his living as a teacher, and in 1907 he accepted a post in the isolated town of Soria in Castile. He stayed for five years, marrying and then watching as his young wife slowly died of tuberculosis. Though he moved often during the rest of his life, Castile remained his spiritual center, and the poems, many the result of long walks in the countryside, reflect the landscape there: spare and luminous. Published in a bilingual edition, this classic of Spanish literature also contains poems that address Spain's post-colonial reality and tributes to the writers, thinkers, and poets of his country.
