Noche de colibries: Ekphrastic Poems by Xanath Caraza and published
by Pandora lobo estepario Productions press is a bilingual
chapbook, Spanish and English. Noche de colibries: Ekphrastic Poems
is synonymous with painting with words that which emerges from the
center of a woman, poet. Polychromatic rhythms are expertly mixed
throughout the pages of this book. Images accompany each poem which
celebrates each image. This book goes beyond description to create
a poem, a story, yet possessing rediscovery in each of them.
Caraza, as previously demonstrated, is a painter-poet where each
verse impregnates each page with color and is most certainly worth
reading not only with one's sight, but also with one's senses of
smell, touch, taste and sound. Noche de colibries: Ekphrastic Poems
por Xanath Caraza publicado por Pandora lobo estepario Productions
press es un plaquette bilingue, espanol e ingles. Noche de
colibries: Ekphrastic Poems es sinonimo de pintar con palabras que
emergen desde el centro de una mujer, poeta. Ritmos policromaticos
se mezclan expertamente entre las paginas de este libro. Imagenes
acompanan cada poema que las celebra, no las describe sino crea un
poema, una historia, redescubriendolas. Caraza, como lo ha
demostrado con anterioridad, es una pintora-poeta donde cada verso
impregna la pagina con color y merece ser leido no tan solo con la
vista, sino con el olfato, el tacto, el gusto y el oido."

X nath Caraza's first book-length collection Conjuro: Poems, with
introduction by Fred Arroyo, is published by Mammoth Publications,
a Native-owned literary press. In this tri-lingual text, Caraza
combines Spanish, English, and Nahuatl (language of the Aztecs) to
create a continuous spell of verse. Caraza's writing derives from
her awareness of Indigenous thought: words are tangible objects,
not abstractions; they are capable of influencing physical
reality's web of interactions. The poet's connection to her
Indigenous and Mexican heritage energizes her verse. This debut
collection establishes her as a major voice of 21st American
letters. Conjuro shows how multiple cultures co-exist for United
States immigrants and descendants. It is appropriate for young
adults, Latin American Studies, Indigenous American Studies, and
Midwest U.S. Studies. "To travel Conjuro's poetic, terrestrial
tapestry, to let its strong linguistic currents move you, is to
reside on the earth that X nath Caraza sings into existence. I
could listen to her cantos all the days of my life, and know in
this music the enchantments, traditions, and streets to travel back
toward home." Fred Arroyo
Xanath Caraza's first book-length collection Conjuro(Spellbound),
with introduction by Fred Arroyo, is published by Mammoth
Publications, a Native-owned literary press. In this tri-lingual
text, Caraza combines Spanish, English, and Nahuatl (language of
the Aztecs) to create a continuous spell of verse. Caraza's writing
derives from her awareness of Indigenous thought: words are
tangible objects, not abstractions, and capable of influencing
physical reality's web of interactions. The poet's connection to
her Indigenous and Mexican heritage energizes her meditations and
proclamations, which are set in Veracruz, Spain, Paris, Chicago,
and Kansas City, her present home. Caraza is a dynamic performance
poet as well as a skilled writer. This debut collection establishes
her as a major voice of 21st American letters. This book shows how
multiple cultures co-exist for United States immigrants. It is
appropriate for young adults, Latin American Studies, Indigenous
American Studies, and Midwest U.S. Studies. Xanath Caraza is a
traveler, educator, poet and short story writer. Originally from
Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico, she is a Kansas City resident. She has an
M.A. in Romance Languages. She lectures in Foreign Languages and
Literatures at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Her chapbook
Corazon Pintado: Ekphrastic Poems (2012) is from TL Press. She won
the 2003 Ediciones Nuevo Espacio international short story contest
in Spanish and was a 2008 finalist for the first international John
Barry Award. Caraza is an advisory circle member of the Con Tinta
literary organization and a former board member of the Latino
Writers Collective in Kansas City. Rigoberto Gonzalez writes of
Conjuro: "A decisively Amerindian song breathes through the pages
of Xanath Caraza's Conjuro, a charitable book of invocation,
incantation, lamentation and healing. Caraza's poems are the
antidote to our troubled times: they reach toward ancestral spirit
and woman-strength, they collect wisdom from the natural and
experiential landscapes, they reorient language away from duplicity
and back to the "oral traditions of the heart." A truly moving, and
spellbinding, debut."
