Un conjunto innovador de poemas, prosas po彋icas, microficciones l甏icas y fabulas que aproximan el cielo como reference para imaginarlo con sentimientos encontrados de horror, esperanza, y hablar detalladamente de madres, hijos, vida y muerte, las palabras de los maestros verdaderos y ap鏂rifos (incluidos santos, textos sagrados y chamanes), las "cosas de Dios", recreando simb鏊icamente personajes, configuraci鏮 de lugares, realidades en dos dimensiones contrastadas: la conocida y la imaginada, siempre de la mano de "la met塻ora viva de Ricoeur, chocante, revulsiva, sorprendente", seg la propia aurora. Este libro de lujo es un ejemplo m嫳 de lo que afirm?Olga Orozco: "Mar燰 Rosa Lojo sabe rastrear lo invisible y descifrar lo secreto". Forma parte de su vida y obra de continua indagaci鏮 ontol鏬ica. El reconocido traductor Brett Alan Sanders realizo la version en ingles de esta maravillosa creaci鏮 literaria: Historias del cielo. With Heaven Stories, the accomplished writer Mar燰 Rosa Lojo, recently awarded the Homer European Medal of Poetry and Art (Brussels, 2021), "driven by a passion for paradox," gifts us with an original and universally resonant lyric of fascinating thematic variety and genres. This book - an innovative mixture of poems, poetic prose, lyrical microfictions, and fables which, as they approach heaven, serve as referents for imagining it with felt sentiments of terror and hope - speaks of mothers, children, life and death, the words of true and apocryphal teachers (including saints, sacred texts, and shamans), and "God's affairs." It symbolically recreates personages, realities, and the configuration of places in two contrasted dimensions: the known and the imagined, always employing "The lively metaphor of Ricoeur, offensive, revulsive, surprising," according to the author herself This luxurious book is one more example of what Olga Orozco asserted: "Mar燰 Rosa Lojo knows how to track the invisible and to decipher the secret." It forms a part of her continual life's work of querying the nature of being. The respected translator Brett Alan Sanders produced the English-language version of this marvelous literary creation: Heaven Stories.
