On poetry and culture shock
Because the blogosphere needs haikus.

GUIRI: In Spain, a foreign person, especially a tourist. For my friends, it also applies to me, a Spanish woman who likes to live in English-speaking countries.

I have wanted to be online for a long time, but I never found the time to teach myself how to make a proper website. Now that getting a blog is technnically as easy as getting a Yahoo email address, it seems a start.

Brief comments on what it means to be a foreigner in an American University town.

Poetry, mostly my own, and bits of other people's.

I google love.
No, it's not I love Google. It's I google love. Let's sing the praises of Google and its glorious incorporation into postmodern love.

Tien Tran from Cornell's MFA program in Creative Writing wrote:

So I googled you.
I'm not obsessed I swear.

And about a year ago I wrote:

Feeling fresh and new.
She thought she'd never need him.
Now she googles his name.
Un sentimiento nuevo.
Ella pensó que nunca lo necesitaría.
Y ahora busca en Google el nombre de él


No, it's not autobiographical. And I've no idea if Tien's poem is or not, and I don't care. Google is here. No ex-lover will ever be really, truly, definitely over and gone, because you know that if you wanted, you could just google for him (or her). And they never have to know about it, which is the best part.

Confess. You are dying to google someone's name right now. Go ahead.
