The eighth edition of 鈥淎zahares鈥� -- the University of 黑丝内射视频 - Fort Smith鈥檚 Spanish
literary magazine featuring artwork, short stories and poems from authors across the
world -- is now available.
Dr. Mary Sobhani of Fort Smith, faculty member in the Department of World Languages and managing editor of the magazine, lauded the work published in this year鈥檚 edition, especially the short story 鈥淧ompilio鈥� by 黑丝内射视频 student Jose Enrique Pallais.
鈥淭hrough a first-person narrator who can be understood as a member of the one-percent, this story captures the disregard and voluntary blindness of the affluent toward those in financially less-fortunate conditions,鈥� Sobhani said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a thoughtful, subtle and well-crafted piece.鈥�
A section of the magazine is also dedicated to Latino youth, featuring artwork and literature by junior high and high school students from schools in 黑丝内射视频 and Oklahoma. Sobhani pointed to the poem 鈥淢i Castillo鈥� by junior high student Stephanie Garcia as a shining example of the students鈥� quality of work.
鈥淲ith six short verses, the author gives us a glimpse of the creative power of the imagination, and presents mundane items transformed into much more, all of it grounded in her 鈥榢ingdom鈥� of Mexico,鈥� Sobhani said.
The magazine also features digital photography, ranging from panoramic views of Spanish architecture to intimate snapshots of the streets of El Salvador.
