Relato SIN RASTRO

Hay que conocer el lugar para admirar, más que para comprender, los milagros de la naturaleza. En aquella zona geográfica la costa se hunde con una ligera pendiente en el mar. Aquí, las formaciones rocosas son una prolongación suave del desierto que las precede, dando lugar a [...]

Life Defining Moments

Life has a way to take us through many routes and places along our personal journey. At times dramatic events are the ones to move us forward or bury us alive; love and death come to mind.
To me love is the force that make all things possible, without love there is no life. But [...]

Bill Bixby’s “The Magician”: A modern-day Count of Monte Cristo

Time has been kind to The Magician (NBC, 1973-1974), the offbeat action drama starring Bill Bixby as Anthony Blake, a modern-day Count of Monte Cristo who, after clearly his name after years of imprisonment on a false espionage charge, uses his vast wealth and resources to help other victims of injustice. Unlike most television crime [...]

DÍME, SILENCIO

Díme, silencio,
tu nombre secreto.
Paró el viento
en la rama dormida.
Desnuda de olas

…Díme, silencio,
si escucho tu huella,
¡silencio, díme!

On Judging Short Story Contests

Over the past few years, I’ve judged many writing contests–some large with thousands of entries and smaller ones, with less entries. I’ve judged short stories and novels–published and unpublished.

Fue algo más que el acicate de aquella imperiosa necesidad lo que le condujo a los bosques del norte. Apenas había deambulado lo suficiente para toparse con la cruel realidad de que el hambre también había que seguir combatiéndolo dentro y fuera de su frontera. Al menos [...]

A MAR

Porque siento,
temblor apresado
de olas, sediento.
Porque extraño,
penumbra nocturna
que anuncia desvelos.
Porque amo,
mece la luna
silencios de mar.

New book by Will Durst skewers partisan politics from every angle

We mostly think of Will Durst as a stand-up comic, radio personality (his talk show with Willie Brown is back as a podcast via willandwillie.com) and political satirist nonpareil. But he’s had his share of odd jobs – 103, to be exact. Why so many? “I have always, still have and probably forever will have [...]

New on DVD: “Great Writers: William Faulkner”

Well, the folks at Kultur Entertainment have put together a series of documentaries that proves that adage wrong.
