"Los poemas de Lo cortés y lo valiente son pacientes ejercicios de contemplación del mundo. La poesía de Julio Torres-Recinos lleva a su lector por los pasillos familiares del día a día y se asoma a las ventanas de nuestros espacios familiares, para intentar encontrar sentido a un mundo que, por momentos, parece que dejamos de comprender. Como todo buen libro de poemas, la lenta brevedad de este volumen hace contrapeso a un mundo que en su rápido tránsito parece diluir el mundo".Marco Ramírez Rojas, Lehman College/City University of New York"En este nuevo poemario, Julio Torres-Recinos nos ofrece una mirada sensata a los dominios del tiempo, el espacio y la memoria, desplazándose audazmente por sitios naturales, urbanos e imaginarios en momentos de amor y compasión, tanto para rememorar como para escapar a los recuerdos, sin olvidar a quienes viven tiempos difíciles. En una poesía cuyas iteraciones son bien intencionadas el verso abierto se presta fácilmente al ritmo, sin faltar ni la palabra seria ni el sentido del humor".David Rozotto, University of Waterloo, Canadá

Este libro es, esencialmente, una exploración de lo femenino en el mundo contemporáneo en el que aparecen elementos de la vida cotidiana, a partir del cuerpo y de la urbe, con matices oníricos. La obra, con un total de 41 poemas escritos a lo largo de 6 años, se divide en dos apartados, "Otras mujeres como lobas", versos desde la intimidad del viaje, el que hace la autora hacia el interior de sí misma y a través de ciertas ciudades apuntalando la realidad con ironía pero con los sentidos abiertos al amor, y "Filigrana de luz en el agua", un homenaje a varias mujeres amadas: la abuela, la madre, las amigas, las que han dejado un calor desconocido en el cuerpo y las que se han marchado antes de haber cumplido sus sueños. La loba aparece como símbolo de libertad y de fuerza protectora, representada en la mirada de las otras.

Martha Matilda Harper and the American Dream- How One Woman Changed the Face of Modern Business uncovers the buried story of how Harper created America's first retail franchise network, a radical new business model that encouraged women to own businesses, to enrich themselves spiritually and financially, and even to marry - all on their own terms. This biography captures the rags to riches true story of how a 19th century Canadian immigrant woman transforms her life and the lives of thousands of other poor women. The first 100 of her Harper shops went only to impoverished women. Harper, thereby, pioneered, modern franchising, social entrepreneurship and invented the reclining shampoo chair we use even today.Born in Ontario, Canada, Harper struggled for twenty-five years as a servant to change her life and that of other working-class women. Bound out into servitude at age seven, Harper was determined to find an alternative to her fate.In 1888, after immigrating to the United States, she pioneered the idea of a public hairdressing salon for women in Rochester, NY, based on health-conscious precepts. Within three years, both the social elite and suffragists enthusiastically embraced her concept across the country, including Susan B. Anthony, Mary Baker Eddy, Bertha Palmer and Mabel Alexander Graham Bell, wife of Alexander. Later British royalty, presidents of the U. S., the German Kaiser, George Bernard Shaw,Danny Kaye, Helen Hayes, the Kennedy clan, would become loyal customers. At its peak, the Harper franchise network spanned the world.Harper advocated practices that were progressive even by today's standards. She urged her franchisees to be accommodating to their customers and employees, to establish childcare centers in their shops, to use organic products, and to pursue principled endeavors. She fought an industry intent on encouraging the purchase of dangerous beauty aids and processes. Instead, Harper preached that people were naturally beautiful and her world-wide network of five hundred shops provided skin and scalp treatments to help release a customer's inner beauty. Her training schools assured skilled practitioners who followed her methods and her manufacturing centers delivered the required quality products.Ultimately, at age sixty-three, Harper married a much younger man and it changed the operation of her business.This book will be of interest to a general audience, business leaders, and historians with a special interest in women's accomplishments and movements, religious influences, and business breakthroughs.
