    Nancy Morejon, David Frye et al.ARTICLECallaloo2005

    Río Martín Pérez Nancy Morejón (bio) Translated by David Frye (bio) Just when I'm about to lose a language I see the river of Martín Pérez, diminutive trickle: I'd love to lie postrate before it and greet the steady winds that blow in from the ocean; but first come hard times and more hard times, and there are bikes and vans and buses embroidered with the mud that forms a republican lace and a city bus with colorful ribbons like the smokestacks o…

  • Dreams are Political

    Nancy Morejon, Pamela CarmellARTICLECallaloo2005

    Dreams are Political Nancy Morejón (bio) Translated by Pamela Carmell (bio) Far, far away, in the middle of the blue sea that churns as if there were a little well-oiled machine below it, way off in the distance, rises up an ordinary city. I am on the other side, on top of some wooden beams that were once a dock. I'm standing next to my parents. Behind my parents, many black people study this ordinary city. Their faces rest on their chin. The dar…

    Nancy Morejon, David Frye et al.ARTICLECallaloo2005

There the ivy ends. La Quinta de los Molinos has invented a present for me: the gift of contemplating it. Here the path does not end. It begins again. This is the route of my memory. II I wandered, imprisoned an…

  • The Golden Chair

    Nancy MorejonARTICLECallaloo2005

    The Golden Chair Nancy Morejón (bio) I am a faceless little woman sitting on the tip of a rock towards the bottom half of a landscape where a river meets two seas. I cannot cease to contemplate them: one river for two seas, two seas for one river; until the cry of the pelican flying high above the clouds awakes them. I cannot speak. I have no hands. A whip has slowly lashed them from me, since time beyond recall. I scarcely recognize the new word…

    And I Say Yes Nancy Morejón (bio) Translated by Pamela Carmell (bio) They tell me I live in a cloud and I say yes but it's not that simple. Also living there are a duck, a peacock, a tortoise, a rooster, a sunflower and as many words as there are tears, and in the middle of the swirling winds the soul of the people like a king of the atmosphere, swaying in the currents in the sky.
