Introducing the Monthly Letra
Death
came to my bedside
and didn’t want to take me;
my trials were not over yet
and when she left I cried.
La
muerte a mi cama vino
Y no me quiso lleva
No estaba cumplio mi sino
Y al irse me eche a llora.
-Solea
+
Cerco
tiene la luna,
mi amor ha muerto.
There's
a halo round the moon
My love has died.
It
is wonderous and strange how the anonymous, and never published
poet can put into just three or four lines all the highest emotional
moments of human life - Ferderico Garcia Lorca
from
Gypsy Cante, selections and translations by William Kirkland
published by and available at City Lights Books.

"Out of the Shadow / Sangre Torerea"
Kathryn
Klassen’s “Out of the Shadow/Sangre Torera” U. S.
premiere was at the 7th International Latino Film Festival. Toreras,
women with passion and perseverance work to gain recognition and
respect in bullfighting in this overview past and present. The film
takes a provocative look into the lives of some of these intriguing,
beautiful, and dynamic women who confront death during each performance.
The superb film was extremely well received by the audience at the
Yerba Buena Center for Arts.
