What if the person who stole your heart wasn't who you thought they were? When my parents passed away, I grew up fast. Learning to stand on my own two feet has been a challenge, but I'm making it... my way. I make no apologies for the path I've chosen. My choices have served me well, but no one knows the real me. Except one man. He's a mystery to me. He's controlling, demanding, and he has me wrapped around his little finger. Anything he wants, I'll give it to him. The hours we share together aren't about love. It's just sex. Hot, dirty, passionate sex. It was never supposed to be anything more than that. Until everything changed. Now, I'm more confused than ever. The more I learn about him, the less I seem to understand. What I do know is that I'm falling, and I have the feeling when I land, it's going to hurt.

On the morning of February 6, 1999, Buenos Aires police officers shot and killed seventeen-year-old Víctor Manuel Vital, better known as Frente, while he was unarmed, hiding under a table, and trying to surrender. Widely known and respected throughout Buenos Aires's shantytowns for his success as a thief, commitment to a code of honor, and generosity to his community, Frente became a Robin Hood--style legend who, in death, was believed to have the power to make bullets swerve and save gang members from shrapnel. In Dance for Me When I Die—first published in Argentina in 2004 and appearing here in English for the first time—Cristian Alarcón tells the story and legacy of Frente's life and death in the context of the everyday experiences of love and survival, murder and addiction, and crime and courage of those living in the slums. Drawing on interviews with Frente's friends, family, and ex-girlfriends, as well as with local thieves and drug dealers, and having immersed himself in Frente's neighborhood for eighteen months, Alarcón captures the world of the urban poor in all of its complexity and humanity.

Wine Me, Dine Me, Dance Me, Romance Me, reads like an evolving collage of romantic experiences framed in poetic style. In many ways, the collection represents an autobiographical sketch in romance. It begins by providing snapshots of the authors early relationships, evolves to romantic accounts as viewed through the eyes of a fictional son, and concludes with romantic descriptions provided by that sons daughter. The collection has a traditional table of contents, a second one titled, Musical Inspiration, and a third titled, Photographic Images. The second table of contents illustrates the authors desire to match specific majority rhythm and blues songs such as Aint No Way, to each poem. In the short run, the author envisions that the collection will be made available (a) in electronic form, (b) as a paperback, and (c) for hardcover distribution. In addition, owing to the musical theme, the author anticipates that the collection can be presented in audio book form. In the long run, the author anticipates that it may be possible to package the collection in a stage production format (complete with a speaker, background music, and Power Point imageswith optional dance choreography). The third table of contents shows the authors ability to enhance the spirit and mood of each poem by linking them to a digital image obtained from the corbisimage.com website. The majority of the digital images were based upon floral themes such as Close-Up View of a Pink Rose, and landscape themes such as Wildflowers at Malibu Beach. Several digital image selections such as Glass of Wine with Cork and Rosebuds, departed from the floral/landscape pattern in order to further highlight a unique mood.
