No one knows what happened to the bell in the church tower. Did the priest sell the bell to a foreign collector? Did revolutionaries melt it down and turn the metal into cannons? Or was it just magic? Whatever the reason, the town hasn't been the same since it disappeared. To heal the pain of this loss, Angel, the young kite maker, creates a beautiful kite showing the whole town — including the missing church bell. After an exciting chase and a lonely night on a cold mountaintop with his three loyal dogs, Angel succeeds in bringing back the bell to his beloved town.

This is the first full-length book of Alberto Blanco's poems presented bilingually in over ten years. Eight immensely talented translators (Judith Infante, Joan Lindgren, Elise Miller, Edgardo Moctezuma, Gustavo V. Segade, Anthony Seidman, John Oliver Simon, Kathleen Snodgrass)worked in perfect unison to bring the pages of this selected text together. Those unfamiliar with Blanco's work will be delighted at his amazement with things as he writes and how much he involves you in the spirit of the place, the person or the object with which he is having a pure association.

Born in 1942, José de Ytube studied under the great precursors of Mexican architecture - Lusi Barragán, Juan O'Gorman among others. Through his projects, Yturbe has defined the new, ground aesthetic rules in contemporary architecture: buildings biologically incorporate to their environment, with bold and balanced lines, great cylinders, crunchy rectangles that toy with curves and seemingly endless lines, always flooded with warm, vibrant colors, thus creating unique spaces - both personal and generous in space and light distribution.He funded his firm, De Yturbe Arquitectos, in 1971, and has completed 200 projects since - private households, corporate buildings, banks, museums, educational or cultural centers, hotels, golf clubs, in Mexico, the United States, South India, Spain, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Argentina and Dubai. The statement of an architecture that's rooted in Mexican traditions.
