Mexican Dinosaur is a poetic offering from C.L. "Rooster" Martinez and Write About Now Publishing.

Throughout history and the present, inspiring and encouraging words from black people are like music to our souls when we become tired or distressed. The contribution and sacrifice of black people of the past and present are relevant, as we continue to fight inequality, racism and police brutality. Music or words in melodic form has always lifted black people when slave master's whip comes out, or when white mobs slaughter and murder innocent black people without remorse.

A mitad de la noche la vida parece encontrar su desenlace, pero es justo en la mayor oscuridad cuando comienza a manifestarse la luz que precede al amanecer: ese momento en que las tinieblas quedan atrás y emerge el día con la incertidumbre propia de un nuevo comienzo. "El tiempo abre las alas" y "se aleja el día hacia ninguna parte... empezaste a morir y a darte cuenta de que el misterio no va a extenuarse nunca. El despertar es un bosque donde se recupera lo perdido y se destruye lo ganado. Y el día futuro, una miseria que te encuentra a solas con tus pobres palabras".

El fuego -en continua mutación- es el verdadero espejo de nuestro ser. Su forma evidencia su movimiento perpetuo. Valeidoso, inconstante, todo lo transmuta; devenir que todo lo consume con su eterno apetito voraz. Si vien gue Heráclito quien a través del pensamiento llegó a esta verdad primigenia, es el poeta quien pone al descubierto que "todo es olvido, sombra, desenlace". Como las llamas de una hoguera que se elevan a los cielos en una danza que embelesa con su sugestiva y anárquica cadencia, el fuego "es el mundo que se extingue y cambia / para durar (fue siempre) eternamente".

Since it was first published more than 25 years ago, Robert Fitzgerald's prizewinning translation of Homer's battle epic has become a classic in its own right: a standard against which all other versions of The Iliad are compared. Fitzgerald's work is accessible, ironic, faithful, written in a swift vernacular blank verse that "makes Homer live as never before" ( Library Journal).

Considered by Rumi to be "the master" of Sufi mystic poetry, Attar is best known for this epic poem, a magnificent allegorical tale about the soul's search for meaning. He recounts the perilous journey of the world's birds to the faraway peaks of Mount Qaf in search of the mysterious Simorgh, their king. Attar's beguiling anecdotes and humor intermingle the sublime with the mundane, the spiritual with the worldly, while his poem models the soul's escape from the mind's rational embrace.

The most famous of the three canticles that compose The Divine Comedy, "Inferno" describes Dante's descent into Hell midway through his life, with Virgil as a guide.
