"This book provides very important evidence that changes in institutional attitudes toward manual language can be traced to broader changes in the accepted conceptions of the nature of language. . . .

"Beginning with a historical essay on the phenomenon of mysticism, Silent Music chronicles St. John's life story - from his humble birth in 1542, through his career as a professional religious, to his death in 1591 - placing the man and his spirituality squarely in their historical-cultural context. Herrera probes the saint's rigorous life of contemplation and his classic writings on such subjects as union with God and the "dark night of the soul," clarifying St. John's understanding of the mystical experience and paying particular attention to the notion of detachment and the recurring motifs of darkness, flame, and ascent in St. John's writings. His careful analysis of St. John's thought is enriched with examples from philosophy, psychology, literature, spirituality, and art - material not usually found in such a study.".
In Rewriting Womanhood, Nancy LaGreca explores the subversive refigurings of womanhood in three novels by women writers: La hija del bandido (1887) by Refugio Barragán de Toscano (Mexico; 1846–1916), Blanca Sol (1888) by Mercedes Cabello de Carbonera (Peru; 1845–1909), and Luz y sombra (1903) by Ana Roqué (Puerto Rico; 1853–1933).

In the darkest hours, where the night's veil descends and the mind's labyrinthine thoughts take hold, this poetry collection emerges as a beacon of solace. With each verse, we embark on a journey through the complex terrain of early adulthood, where confusion and chaos reign. Through the delicate art of language, the poet navigates the tumultuous waves of distress, using words as lifeboats to reach the shores of understanding. These verses are the profound culmination of emotions and thoughts, woven together in the quiet stillness of midnight. With every line, the poet reveals that each life phase is a unique odyssey, a new iteration of Hiraeth—a longing for the intangible. This collection encourages us not to discard our emotions but to cradle them tenderly, recognizing that vulnerability is the essence of our human experience.
