"This sequence of 30 fierce, lovely poems is set in the 1940s and '50s at the edge of Greater Appalachia, in west-central Missouri, a world at once exotic and familiar. The poems provide a border state setting for folkways that arrived--two centuries before, in the 1700s--from that much older Border Country, the northern counties of England, the Scottish lowlands, and what would become Northern Ireland."--from the introduction by Philip Garrison

Als Salvador Allende die Parlamentswahlen am 4. September 1970 mit 36,2% der Stimmen gewann, wurde er damit zum Präsidenten der Republik Chile gewählt. Es begannen die intensivsten tausend Tage in der Geschichte des Landes, die zu einem leuchtenden Beispiel für den demokratischen Übergang zum Sozialismus wurden, und gleichzeitig eine gefürchtete marxistische Enklave, welche die Privilegien von Privatwirtschaft und Großkapital bedrohte. Diese atemberaubende Graphic Novel erzählt über diesen Prozess aus der Perspektive eines amerikanischen Journalisten, der vor Ort über die politische Entwicklung recherchiert und in den Sog des kulturellen Aufbruchs gerät, zwischen Verschwörungen und aufregenden Nächten mit einer unglaublichen Frau. Die Jahre von Allende ist ein fesselndes Buch über die Hoffnungen und Ängste der damaligen Protagonisten, die mit Leidenschaft und Schmerz erlebten, wie ein im 20. Jahrhundert einzigartiges soziales Experiment errichtet und zerstört wurde.
In his tenth volume of poetry, Irish American poet Carlos Reyes returns once again to Ireland. The poems in this collection capture the stark rural life that now has mostly passed, pushed aside and forgotten with the arrival of the "Celtic Tiger." Sitka spruce has supplanted the peat bog, and the slane rusts in the barn. The iconic haycocks that dotted the countryside are now replaced with huge black bags of sileage. This book paints a lyrical picture of a world gone. As Yeats' said, a way of life "all changed, utterly changed." Carlos Reyes first came to Ireland in the early 1970s, when he purchased a three-hundred-year-old cottage in County Clare. Acadia National Park and Joshua Tree National Park among others have hosted him as poet-in-residence. When not traveling, Reyes makes his home in Portland, Oregon.
