Finisterre II: Revisiting the Last Place on Earth. Migrations in Spanish and Latin American Culture and Literature is a collective aesthetic, historical, literary, and cultural analysis of how biopolitical, cultural, and economic trends have impacted narratives about migration in the Hispanic world. Considering migrants as protagonists of their stories, the book approaches the migrant as a subject of cultural patrimony and knowledge. The different articles, written by scholars from the United States, Japan, Norway, the United Kingdom, and Ecuador, examine how Hispanic art and narratives of migrancy allow us to re-evaluate the cultural understanding of borders.

It felt like an emotional crucifixion-a dark year in which a father figure passed, a friend and mentor suffered a terminal illness, one child entered psychosis, another child took his life, a 14-year marriage ended. As a new life began, an ancient pilgrimage called from across an ocean. Would it hold any answers? Were there any answers to be had? Questions are always temporal, but it seems pilgrimage follows the designs of the eternal. Join in a transcendent journey of the body, heart, mind, and spirit from the French Pyrenees Mountains, crossing northern Spain for 500 miles to the city of Santiago de Compostela, and beyond to the coastal town of Finisterre. Share the experience of walking a thousand-year-old road, the Camino de Santiago, the Way of Saint James, and its miraculous, mysterious ways. In parts a travelogue, a love letter to Spain, and a chronicle of change under the influence of grace, this is a story told in the language of the soul. Suffused with resilience, it is a dialogue between humanity and its spirit. It calls.

A. E. Housman, romantic poet and classical scholar, is best-known as the author of A Shropshire Lad and the meticulous editor of Manilius, the Latin poet of astronomy. In this first full biography, Richard Perceval Graves convincingly reconciles the two apparently conflicting sides of Housman's personality, and reassesses the reputation of a man who was something of a mystery even to his closest friends. 'This is bound to become the standard life.' John Carey, Sunday Times 'Dispassionate and well-researched.' Philip Larkin, Guardian
