    About this ebook

    Waters of Santa Fe is a poetic jewel from the Caribbean. Dive into Julieta Leon's verses while she takes you exploring the cristal clear waters of a small fishing town on the Venezuelan coast, amidst local stories, adventuresome tourists, fishermen catching mermaids, dolphins, and a special tribute to Cruz Salmeron Acosta.

    In Araya
    all the women are made of salt

    a fisherman says
    that is why men drink so much

    Julieta Leon

    Nace en 1949 en Caracas, Venezuela. Licenciada en Filosofía y en Letras, por la Universidad Central de Venezuela. Estudió música y piano, durante muchos años, en la academia Juan Manuel Olivares; hizo escultura y trabajó la cerámica en el Taller de Artes del Fuego. Especialista en Dinámicas de Grupo, egresada del postgrado de Humanidades de la Escuela de Psicología de la Universidad Central de Venezuela.Participó en talleres dictados por Elí Galindo, Eleazar León y Rafael Cadenas. Este último fue tutor de su tesis de grado. Su trabajo poético “Tomo la Calle”, en la Escuela de Letras de la Central, obtuvo mención Sobresaliente.Pertenece al taller literario “Tres Tristes tigres” y dirige otros grupos de creación a fin de promocionar nuevos talentos.Entre sus obras figuran: “Tomo la calle”, “Eterna Sed”, “Arena del Desierto”, “Cartas Echadas”, “Aguas de Santa Fe”, “La primavera es impaciente y otros haikús”, “Extraños Frutos” , “Mall”, “Enrique VIII”, “Fuga sobre la muerte”, “Regreso a Manicuare” y “Noveleta rima con teta”, entre otros.En julio de 2005, ganó la XVI edición de la Bienal literaria José Antonio Ramos Sucre con el poemario MALL.Ha publicado algunos poemas en revistas literarias (internet); una selección de poemas, “Las aguas borran los senderos” con la editorial La Espada Rota (1999)y un libro, “Arena del Desierto” (1999), con el sello editorial Tregua.Por esas cosas curiosas que ocurren en las tipografías, algunos dicen que a causa de las manos traviesas de los duendes, el libro fue publicado sin uno de los textos.Este poema, en el cual habla el joyero de Salomé, estaba colocado a continuación del que recoge la voz de Herodías; y dice así:Yo soy el tasador de joyasy traigo a la princesadiademas de rubíes y de perlasbrazaletes de jade y amatistasse ha probadoajorcas y zarcilloscollares de las piedras más raraspeinetas de berilos y obsidianasbroches de turmalinas y jacintosanillos de turquesas y diamantescinturones de pulidos zafirosse ha colocado un dijeque baja delicadamente por el vientrey llega al borde del valleme mira sin recatome encarga un manto bordado de topaciospregunta por la pagacierro los ojosyo sólo quiero un besoella se acercademasiado para saldar su deudallevo en el cuerpoen los labiosla sangrearena del desierto
