Spanish Novel by Gabriela Marie Milton – Excerpt

Jezabel a Anastasia

Si ha decidido no visitarme más, porque se imagina que no quiero responderle a sus preguntas, no actúa bien. Llega un tiempo de madurez para cada uno de nosotros.Estamos aquí, o en otra parte, eso nunca le queda claro a ninguno de nosotros. Me acuerdo de cierta mañana, un año antes de que muriera el Capitán, cuando recorría sola las calles de la Ciudad. Había pasado la noche anterior atormentándome con preguntas. Los rayos del sol se deslizaban al lado, cerca de mí, y tenía la impresión de que me evitaban a propósito, como si me hubieran retirado hasta el derecho a sus caricias. Me resonaba todavía en los oídos la voz del Capitán, en la noche. ¡Te irás acostumbrando, mi amor, te irás acostumbrando! Claro, a todo nos acostumbramos. Pero no a nosotros, sino a nuestro doble que cada uno lleva dentro de sí mismo y utilizamos como un escudo, en contra de todos los males. Me había detenido en la Gran Avenida frente a una tienda de cosméticos, mirando al azar decenas de matices de creyones de labios, de cremas, rimmel. De pronto me pasaron por la mente sombras, miles de sombras, sombras de las mujeres que utilizaban cosas parecidas a las que estaba contemplando. Miro el escaparate de la tienda vecina, que pertenecía a una compañía de turismo. Fotos bonitas de varias partes del continente. Se podía obtener descuento de precios, habitaciones en los hoteles más fascinantes y una cantidad de chucherías gratuitas. Un mundo absurdo, aberrante. Fotos estupendas, en las que ninguno de nosotros nos encentraríamos alguna vez; porque la película fotográfica no puede sorprender nuestra alma. Me vino a la mente la figura del ministro del interior…..

A beautiful painting from Hikari for me and a poem by me – Gabriela Marie Milton – for Hikari

My gorgeous followers.

I was absolutely overwhelmed with joy when I learned that Hikari had crafted a stunning piece of art just for me. Her incredible generosity and unmatched talent brought tears to my eyes. The way she wielded those masterful colors struck a chord deep within me, igniting an emotional blaze that I couldn’t contain. I wept, and in the throes of that powerful inspiration, I penned a heartfelt poem dedicated to Hikari.

Painting by Hikari

Poem by Gabriela Marie Milton

Concentrated smell of roses
Blooms in the night of white spirits
Heavy perfume on midnight’s skin
Thorns soft like tongues in prayers

Why do you think my love
You know the secret language of roses –
The secrets they carry in soft petals’ glow.
The legend speaks of tears and blood
Of the day when the Goddess ripped her clothes
In the bourns-
Who told you, darling that roses are love
They are nightingales caught in blue fingered thorns

An excerpt from my novel coming up next year – Spanish Language

Dear followers,

As I shared in a previous post, I have completed a novel in Spanish that has stirred my soul. The exhilarating journey of translating it into English has already begun, igniting my excitement. Whether you read it in English or Spanish, my hope is that this heartfelt novel will captivate readers like you next year. Till then, an excerpt in Spanish for you:

Excerpt in Spanish

–Anastasia, querida, Jezabel me contó una noche que en aquellos cinco años había estado enamorada de un joven científico, que trabajaba en uno de los laboratorios de bioquímica de la Ciudad. Creo que vivía en un barrio antiguo, por la Calle Robbia. Una sola vez, según sus palabras, Jezabel habría subido las escaleras estrechas y oscuras que llevaban al departamento de él. Me dijo que el hombre la había agarrado en sus brazos y se habían quedado así, uno junto al otro, tendidos en la cama, mirándose a los ojo largo rato. La cama se encontraba pegada a la pared, en la parte derecha de la habitación; encima había una ventana sin cortinas. En la parte izquierda se hallaba un escritorio y frente a la puerta había estantes llenos de libros.

La mujer se detuvo un momento de su silbido, tomó un trago de agua y continuó.

–Jezabel desabotonó la camisa del hombre lentamente. El cual llevaba una camisa negra, de una seda pesada, como la del Continente, con botones diminutos, de color nácar. Se quedaron un rato más callados, después Jezabel se incorporó, abandonando la cama cubierta con una manta amarillenta, y se fue.

–¿Y?

–Y nada, Anastasia, esto es todo.

Anastasia la miró, consternada. ¡Al infierno con Lady Swartley y con todo! ¡Esta mujer le estaba tomando el pelo! ¿Qué es lo que quería decir, en realidad? ¡Y cómo era posible que Jezabel conversara con otra mujer sobre el material de que estaban hechos los botones que apenas había desabrochado de la camisa del pecho de su amante! ¿Y cómo podía conocer Lady Swartley la ubicación exacta del mueble en aquel cuarto, como si ella misma lo hubiera arreglado? Su propia pregunta la dejó fría. Quizás la propia inglesa haya arreglado el mueble del cuarto de la Calle Robbia. No, no podía ser, iba demasiado lejos en sus suposiciones. Si había algo verdadero en esta historia, entonces Lady Swartley debió haber protagonizado la escena aquella y no Jezabel. Pero ésta siguió, masticando papas fritas.

POETRY BY NAOKI KIMURA

優しき光、しなやかなる陰たち ―
その儚さは、切ないほどに美しい
佇み ―
凪を待ち続ける
The light is tender, the shadow falls with grace—
delicate, it stirs the ache of beauty.
I linger, awaiting the hush of the lull.

木村尚樹
Naoki Kimura
凪景 Nagikei
Lullscapes in Light
and Shadow

A few words about this haiku

Despite its brevity, a haiku can carry profound emotional weight. Its power lies in what is left unsaid—the spaces between words and the silence after the final syllable. This is truly a fabulous piece that lingers in the mind, echoing with gentle wisdom and stirring wonder. To analyze Noaki Kimura’s haiku is to appreciate his artistry and embrace the delight it brings to the reader.

Gabriela Marie Milton and the Rise of Literary Revelations- feature in ArtistHighlights – A House That Defied Expectations

Good morning my dearest fallowers,

Your support through your likes and purchases fuels the very essence of Literary Revelations, and words fail to capture the depth of my gratitude for your unwavering encouragement. Thank you!

Gabriela Marie Milton and the Rise of Literary Revelations- feature in ArtistHighlights

Poet and editor Gabriela Marie Milton built Literary Revelations into a press where art, literature, and vision converge.

In literature, certain turning points are marked not by institutions or corporations, but by individuals who dare to reshape the field. For Gabriela Marie Milton, that turning point came in 2022. Already an acclaimed poet and editor, she launched Literary Revelations Publishing House, guided not by the market’s appetite for speed but by her own belief in beauty, precision, and timeless artistry.

Within just a few years, her vision transformed from an idea into a recognized publishing force, one that challenges assumptions about what independent presses can achieve.

A Poet at the Helm

Unlike many publishers who begin with business strategies, Gabriela began with lived experience. She had walked the path of an author herself, facing the highs of bestseller recognition and the challenges of navigating an increasingly crowded literary marketplace. This perspective shaped her belief that true publishing success lies in careful selection, not in volume.

Her dual role as poet and publisher gives her house a distinctive character: each book is approached as a work of art rather than a product. Christina Schwarz, author of the New York Times bestseller Drowning Ruth, captured Gabriela’s creative essence when she observed her “lush language and lavish imagery” that “evokes a fantastic world ripe with emotion.” That same ethos now informs every publication from Literary Revelations.

A House That Defied Expectations

The story of Literary Revelations is one of surprising acceleration. New presses often struggle for visibility, but Gabriela’s commitment to excellence allowed her to establish credibility almost immediately. The anthologies Petals of Haiku and Tranquility: An Anthology of Haiku not only reached bestseller status on Amazon but also received international acknowledgment, entering the Museum of Haiku Literature in Japan.

The placement of Petals of Haiku and its cover artwork in the Treasure House of the Rinsenji Temple further illustrates the extraordinary trajectory of the press. These honors reflect not only the skill of the contributing poets and artists but also Gabriela’s curatorial eye.

Crossing into Visual Arts

What distinguishes Literary Revelations is its refusal to confine itself to one form. The forthcoming art book Lullascapes in Light and Shadow by Naoki Kimura highlights this. Already exhibited at the Tokyo Hilton Hotel, the project demonstrates how the press bridges poetry, literature, and visual art.

This expansion is not diversification for its own sake. Rather, it reflects Gabriela’s conviction that all artistic mediums can illuminate one another, and that readers deserve access to the fullness of creative expression.

Literary Revelations Wins Best Publisher in the USA Award for 2025

Literary Revelations Publishing House has been recognized as the Best Publisher in the USA for 2025, a testament to its commitment to quality, innovation, and artistic vision. Under the leadership of Gabriela Marie Milton, the press has stood out for its unique blend of carefully curated works that span poetry, visual art, and thought-provoking anthologies. With a focus on craftsmanship over quantity, the press has established itself as a leader in the literary world, challenging conventional publishing norms. This prestigious award underscores the dedication to sustainability, artistic excellence, and cultural engagement that sets Literary Revelations apart in the industry.

Beyond Books: Building a Literary Community

Publishing is central to Literary Revelations, but its activities extend far beyond print. Through the Literary Revelations Journal, Gabriela and her team maintain a curated platform where poetry, short prose, interviews, and visual art come together. The inclusion of writers such as Gaetano Camillo, nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature, underscores the journal’s standing in the global literary conversation.

The press also fosters community by organizing poetry festivals in collaboration with radio stations. These events emphasize the living, communal nature of literature and highlight Gabriela’s desire to keep art accessible to broad audiences.

Why It Matters

In a publishing world dominated by output and algorithms, Literary Revelations stands as a counterpoint. Its focus on artistry, careful editorial standards, and cultural engagement places it in a lineage of presses that influence not just markets but minds.

At its center is Gabriela herself, whose trajectory from author to founder exemplifies the power of vision. Her press demonstrates that publishing, at its best, is not about producing content but about shaping culture.

Looking Forward

With projects such as Lullacapes in Light and Shadow just published and in a few days reaching Amazon Bestseller status, Gabriela is broadening her press’s impact. The core principle remains: quality over quantity, resonance over immediacy. For readers, writers, and artists, Literary Revelations offers not just a catalog of works but a philosophy of creativity.

Description

Naoki Kimra’s Nagikei (凪景–Lullscapes): An Invitation to Japanese Fine Art Photography and Poetry, by Naoki Kimura
The Art of Stillness, Subtlety, and Impermanence

Placed upon a coffee table, Lullscapes in Light and Shadow, a superb album by Japanese artist Naoki Kimura becomes a vessel for shared reflection; opened in solitude, it becomes a companion for meditation. The pages of the album are thresholds—cross them, and you enter a world where the ordinary glimmers with the extraordinary, where slowness becomes a form of gratitude.

The title “Nagikei” (凪景–Lullscapes) distills the profound tranquility and harmony embodied in “Nagi” (凪, Lull), weaving it seamlessly with the subtle appreciation for nuance and evanescence inherent in “Kei” (景, scenery or emotional landscape). In Naoki Kimura’s fine art photography and poetry album, this fusion becomes not merely an artful label, but a gentle invocation—an opening into a world where, between the shifting of light and shadow, time decelerates and the soul glides quietly toward contemplation.
Lullscapes in Light and Shadow is an invitation to rediscover moments of serenity and ephemeral beauty that are often overlooked in the rush of daily life. Kimura’s monochrome photography is both an ode to visual and literary—to the hush that follows the wind, to the grace found in the silent corners of existence.

Suffused throughout Nagikei is the spirit of “Mono no Aware,” that uniquely Japanese awareness of the bittersweet nature of impermanence. To see with “Mono no Aware” is to encounter beauty precisely because, and not despite, its fleetingness. Kimura’s fine art photographs do not aspire to be mere records of a vanishing world; they are meditation spaces in which to linger, to mourn, and to celebrate the fragile radiance slipping softly through our fingers. Each image becomes a silent haiku, a moment’s flare of consciousness before it dissolves back into the quiet flow of time.

Interwoven with the monochrome vistas is a careful curation of poetry—haiku, tanka, free-form verse, and brief prose reflections. Each literary piece is chosen to echo or counterpoint the visual narrative, inviting us ever deeper into the dialogue between image and word, between perception and emotion. The result is not a collection to be hurried through, but a presence to be lived with—an artifact for repeated visitation, wherein each encounter reveals new shades of meaning.

Nagikei is a quiet revolution—a call to reclaim the present moment from the relentless tide of haste and distraction. It is a living testament to the possibility of beauty in stillness, a sanctuary for those willing to see with eyes attuned to the delicate music of impermanence.

Thank you!

PETALS OF HAIKU & TRANQUILITY: TWO ANTHOLOGIES OF HAIKU PUBLISHED BY LITERARY REVELATIONS ARE NOW IN THE MUSEUM OF HAIKU LITERATURE, JAPAN – FIRST POSTED IN LITERARY REVELATIONS

From Petals to Eternity

The journey of “Petals of Haiku & Tranquility” from concept to publication, and finally to the venerable shelves of the Museum of Literature Japan, is a story of dedication, inspiration, and the timeless pull of art. It is a testament to the enduring power of haiku—to the way a few carefully chosen syllables can bridge cultures, generations, and hearts.

As Literary Revelations stands, “beyond honored and humbled,” we do so in the knowledge that our work will endure, quietly influencing, gently inspiring, and eternally blossoming in the tranquil halls of the Museum of Haiku Literature.

We thank our magnificent Artist in Residence, Hikari, for helping with the coordination of this project. She is our hero.

More Than a Library: A Center for Study and Support

But the Museum of Haiku Literature is not simply a repository of books. It is a vibrant study center, equipped with modern, well-lighted reading rooms where poets and scholars can linger with texts, tracing the brushstrokes of ancient masters or discovering the voices of contemporary innovators. Here, silence is not emptiness but an invitation—a gentle beckon to contemplate the subtle interplay between nature and language.

As a support center, the museum extends its resources to poets and researchers across Japan, offering advanced title searches and essential photocopying services. These tools, while practical, carry the heartbeat of the institution’s mission: to make haiku accessible, discoverable, and alive for all who seek its wisdom.

A Welcoming Haven for Haiku Enthusiasts

The museum’s embrace is generous and democratic. It welcomes haiku enthusiasts from every walk of life, providing a learning environment that is as inclusive as it is inspiring. Programs range from immersive introductory lectures on the structure and spirit of haiku, to awe-inspiring exhibitions of tanzaku and shikishi—traditional formats for writing and displaying haiku, their calligraphy as evocative as the poems themselves.

This is a place where a novice can sit beside a master, where the ancient and the emergent meet on equal footing. The museum’s programs foster a sense of community and continuity, nurturing new generations of poets who will carry haiku’s torch into uncharted realms.

The Museum as a Meeting Place for Poets

The Museum of Haiku Literature is, above all, a meeting place: a living crucible where poetic minds converge. Its rooms are not merely spaces but sanctuaries for collaboration and celebration. Here, haiku seminars and study sessions unfold alongside joyous book-signing parties, ongoing group meetings, and an ever-rotating calendar of events. The laughter of shared discovery, the warmth of mutual encouragement, the quiet of solitary reflection—these are the museum’s daily gifts.

Rooms resonate with the sound of poetic exchange, as verses are read aloud, debated, refined, and cherished. The museum stands as a testament to the enduring relevance of haiku, providing fertile ground for the seeds planted by Literary Revelations and countless other visionaries.

An International Center for Cultural Exchange

Yet the museum’s reach does not end at the borders of Japan. It is an international center for cultural exchange, a bridge uniting lovers of haiku from every continent. Through its programs, exhibitions, and partnerships, it extends an invitation to all who have come to love and appreciate the subtle art of the seventeen-syllable poem. Here, “Petals of Haiku & Tranquility” finds itself not only among countrymen but in dialogue with the world—its themes resonating in myriad languages, its insights universal in their appeal.

To be included in this global conversation is to embrace both responsibility and opportunity. The anthology now stands as ambassador, carrying with it the hopes, dreams, and creative possibilities of its contributors and its publishers.

The Lasting Impact: Preserving Haiku for Future Generations

The preservation of “Petals of Haiku & Tranquility” within the Museum of Haiku Literature ensures that its words are not ephemeral notes lost to the wind but enduring petals, pressed onto the pages of history. Future generations will turn to these works, finding not only inspiration but also a sense of belonging to a grand tradition—one that stretches back to Bashō’s frog leaping into an ancient pond, and forward into the unknown beauty of tomorrow.

For Literary Revelations and its team, this is both a poetic and practical triumph. Their anthology takes its place among the immortals, a cherished voice in an ever-evolving chorus, a living emblem of what can be achieved when humility meets vision.
