In January of 2011 and 2012 George Bowering, who was Canada's first poet laureate, spent time in La Manz. Last month I published a chapbook of the poems he wrote this year, "Los Pájaros de Tenacatita". You can read about the book and see some pictures of it on my blog. Ted and I are coming back in January 2013 and I'll be bringing some copies with me. Thought I'd see if Stephanie would like them for the book store. George and I would donate any money from sales to the scholarships funded by the store. The chapbooks sell for $10 here, so we can figure out how much in pesos closer to the time. Here's the link: http://purplemountainpoems.blogspot.ca/2013/06/los-pajaros-de-tenacatitapoems-of-la.html And Lidia and Pedro will be given copies, of course. George dedicated the book to them.
