Two Swords, One Heart

By: Aaron Antonio Vessup

The Bi-Lingual Reader embraces a wide range of cultural locations, emotions, and perspectives through cross-cultural experiences and interpretations. From Africa, Egypt, Cuba, France, Israel, South Korea, North and Central America characters evolve to voice universal human concerns. A word about the translations. While a few of these poems have been written by the principal author in Spanish, most were written originally in English. Meticulous care has been taken to ensure that pieces translated from English to Spanish have adhered to original meaning, mood, and imagery. The photogenic images are also original work evolving from world travels over a ten year span.
