Berta García Faet nos presenta Corazonada (Ed. La Bella Varsovia), su nuevo poemario, libro que recoge versos que empezó a pergeñar hace más de una década y en el que se pueden apreciar muchos de los rasgos que la han convertido en una de las voces más importantes de nuestra joven poesía, como la mirada infantil, el trabajo con la idea de lo cursi y el riesgo formal. También aprovechamos la ocasión para charlar con ella de El arte de encender las palabras (Ed. Barlin), ensayo poco convencional en el que desvela sus deslumbramientos poéticos.Luego, Ignacio Elguero nos recomienda dos títulos que se complementan a la perfección:  Pablo Picasso. Escritos 1935-1959 (Ed. Akal), volumen que ofrece el conjunto de los textos del pintor, entre ellos un gran número de inéditos, y Recuerdos de montañas lejanas (Ed. Random House), libro que reproduce los cuadernos en los que el Premio Nobel de Literatura Orhan Pamuk dibuja y anota sus pensamientos.En su ventanita Javier Lostalé nos lee un poema de Carlos Bousoño a propósito del centenario de su nacimiento, que ha venido acompañado de la publicación de un libro esencial para conocer su figura y su obra, En otro grado de luz. Lecturas de Carlos Bousoño (Ed. Renacimiento), de Alejandro Duque Musco. Luego, Sergio C. Fanjul repasa el legado literario y la azarosa peripecia vital de Lucia Berlin con motivo de la publicación en nuestro país de Una nueva vida (Ed. Alfaguara), libro que recoge relatos inéditos y fragmentos de diarios de esta escritora estadounidense, reivindicada póstumamente. Terminamos en compañía de Mariano Peyrou, que esta vez nos habla de Deseo de realidad (Ed Tusquets), volumen que reúne seis poemarios de Miguel Casado, dueño de una sobriedad de raíz ética que apuesta por un lenguaje sereno y directo alejado de las trampas típicas de la poesía.Escuchar audio

Ma bastano tre confini per lasciarsi alle spalle le proprie origini? Basta fuggire per dimenticare?

Recovery Work Isn't Only For Emergencies.Lucia Berlin said,“Fear, poverty, alcoholism, and loneliness are terminal illnesses. Emergencies, in fact.”During my drinking and using days, I always had some type of crisis going on. I acted like they were big emergencies, hijacked everyone around me, and got them to buy in to my self-created drama.   Truth be told, when I was in my cups, I fled from your emergencies. My biggest emergency was, I kept burning down my own life. Thankfully, when all that was left of that life was a smoldering pile of embers, I found the rooms of recovery.   Once here, I thought I was going to learn how to control my drinking and using without letting life get to emergency crisis mode. Instead, I found happy people, walking through life with grace and dignity, not needing to drink or use drugs to manage anything.   So, I stuck around, did what they did, and got similar results. I not only learned tools to mitigate my future emergencies, but to also bring peace, love, and strength to other people's emergencies.   Today, I know that foxhole prayer, meditation, and service will occasionally help during an emergency. But, when we stick together, and do the work consistently, everything we ever need is available to us, anytime we need it.We close with the 11th step st francis prayer meditation to help bring us more peace and love to our hearts and minds.I'm Kirk Waterman, thank you for joining us.

Takmer 50-tisíc eur mal bývalý minister financií Peter Kažimír odovzdať v obálke vtedajšiemu šéfovi finančnej správy. Malo ísť o úplatok v zložitej korupčnej schéme, ktorú polícia vyšetruje ako kauzu Mýtnik. Obvinený bol už vlani, no neskôr jeho stíhanie generálna prokuratúra zrušila. Dnes čelí obvineniu opäť. Čo to znamená? Môže Maroš Žilinka opäť vytiahnuť paragraf 363 a ako to vyzerá s inými obvinenými politikmi? Jana Maťková sa pýtala v podcaste Dobré ráno Petra Kováča redaktora domácej redakcie denníka SME. Zdroje zvukov: TA3, RTVS, SME, Denník N, Aktuality.sk Odporúčanie: Ak máte radi poviedky, knihu Manuál pre upratovačku od Lucia Berlin si zamilujete. Veľmi plasticky vykresľuje život obyčajných ľudí, nazerá im do hĺbky a tajov duše, príbehy sú dramatické aj vtipné, miestami drsné - no proste ako sám život.

Antje Rávik Strubel ist Schriftstellerin und Essayistin, deutsche Buchpreisträgerin 2021, Übersetzerin aus dem Englischen und Schwedischen, kritische Intellektuelle - und Skifahrerin (dass das Schreiben davon nicht zu trennen ist, hat sie mit ihrer 2016 bei Piper erschienenen “Gebrauchsanweisung fürs Skifahren” bewiesen). Kein Wunder also, dass sie die Einladung des Literaturhauses Innsbruck zu einer Lesung aus ihrem aktuellen Roman “Blaue Frau” (S. Fischer, 2021) in die Alpenstadt gerne angenommen hat. Die von Gabriele Wild moderierte Lesung fand am 26. April statt, tags darauf haben Veronika Schuchter und Irene Zanol die Autorin zum Gespräch getroffen. Wir haben über die Entstehung des Romans “Blaue Frau” gesprochen, über Rezeptionsschablonen, die politische Situation Europas, Identitätsentwürfe, Genderdiskurse, sexuelle Gewalt - und vieles mehr. Natürlich auch über's Skifahren. Oder Skilaufen? Nun, alle (definitorischen) Fragen konnten wir nicht klären, aber Antje Rávik Strubel gab uns Antwort auf viele Fragen und zahlreiche spannende Denkimpulse. Diese Folge entstand in Kooperation mit dem Literaturhaus am Inn. Wenn ihr mehr darüber erfahren wollt, hört in unsere Juni-Folge zum 25jährigen Bestehen des Literaturhauses hinein.

The window has curated book piles with a casual mess, yet flowers in delicate vases and lamps add an elegant laissez faire. You walk in. It's warm. It smells of leather, denim and black tea leaves. Vintage furniture provides comfort to the space. Tall, dark wood shelves are lined with used, new, favorites and donations. Some books are even tucked into thrifted cabinets with golden knobs. There's color, there's language. It feels like home. It feels like you want to sit here and get to know this place.  I don't know why I haven't done this BEFORE.

¡No es un audiolibro! Tras el desastre del anterior programa dedicado a Berlin, hemos decidido regrabar el episodio y ampliar contenidos. Aquí os dejamos un especial dedicado a Manual para mujeres de la limpieza. Manual para mujeres de la limpieza, de la escritora estadounidense Lucia Berlin, es una antología de relatos de una calidad notable que llegó a nosotros hace pocos años, mucho después de la muerte de su autora, de igual manera que se encuentra un mensaje en una botella. Ella es quizás uno de los ejemplos más notables de la cuentística norteamericana, una pionera del estilo, olvidada por muchos durante años y ahora venerada con razón. Sus relatos rompen con el espejismo del sueño americano para mostrarnos una serie de personajes femeninnos, aunque quizás sea solo una, inmersas en pequeñas tragedias cotidianas. La muerte, la soledad y el desarraigo son algunos de los grandes temas que atraviesan está compilación de relatos, considerada por el suplemento literario Babelia el mejor libro del año en 2016. Para hablar sobre esta antología, tenemos hoy dos invitadas de lujo. Vuelve a pasarse por el programa Eugenia Vázquez Nacarino (Barcelona, 1974), puente que ha permitido acercar al mundo hispanohablante a Lucia Berlin. Traductora de su obra, pero también de otros importantes autores como Henry James, Cynthia Ozick, Charles Baxter, Tim Parks, Shani Boianjiu, Alice Munro o Sylvia Plath, es una gran conocedora de la narrativa contemporánea y del complejísimo arte de la traducción. Prueba de ello es que en 2019 obtuvo el prestigioso Premio de Traducción Esther Benítez por su trabajo en Una noche en el paraíso, también de Lucia Berlin. Y también nos acompaña María Fasce, editora de la obra de Berlin en castellano y su "descubridora", por decirlo de alguna manera. ¡La revolución ha comenzado!

How do birds know where things are? “The keys are where you last saw them”, we often say, meaning that, as mammals, we have to recall both an internalised map of location and the lost keys' visual identity (their shape and colour) in order to find them again. And for a long time it was thought that birds did something similar, matching object cues to spatial memory. New research is taking us on a different journey. In “Taking An Insect-Inspired Approach to Bird Navigation”, by David J. Pritchard and Susan D. Healy (2018), the picture that emerges is of an avian world much closer to that of insects, driven by action and motion parallax, where hummingbirds “see” in a way that only reveals itself when movement starts, where spatial memory is prioritised over object identification. Move a feeder six feet to the right, and the bird misses it. Why?Maybe we're a bit like that, too. Expecting our minds to be broadened by travel, we find ourselves flummoxed by the reality. Rather than confront it, we look for ways to confirm the original hypothesis, the expectation. Three pin-sharp tales of disorientation demonstrate just this problem with human navigation. In the first, “The Long Crossing”, by the Sicilian writer Leonardo Sciascia (from The Wine-Dark Sea, Granta, 2001; translated by Avril Bardoni), a group of penniless Italian immigrants looks forward to arriving in the United States. In the second and third, “BF and Me” and “Teenage Punk”, from A Manual For Cleaning Women (Picador, 2015) by Lucia Berlin, the journeys are developmental: an old lady cuts a drunk handyman some slack, a dawn safari shifts in the memory. Experience changes us. Even so, it takes a lot to stop us believing in a stable identity.
