Road to the Center of Man. “Clocks sweating, swearing slaves of the last coin… This is the road, a road like any other, it comes from somewhere and goes to somewhere else. There's nothing special or extraordinary. An asphalt ribbon that extends indefinitely in both directions, at times uneven with curves and cambers, ups and downs. However, we know that this road, like others, becomes meaningless when no one passes through it. It’s like the tree that does not cause any sound when it falls into the depths of the forest, in the loneliest part of the woods, where there’s no one to listen. This road, too, ceases to exist when no one walks on it. Continue reading >>>> Carretera hacia el Centro del Hombre Relojes sudando, jurando esclavos de la última moneda
Geryon's Quest for Soul-Searching VS. America “All your designs are about captivity, it depresses me” (55), says Herakles to Geryon in a condemning manner, while painting some of the walls of a seemingly urban, industrialized city that serves as their hometown. To this, Geryon has “nothing to say” (56). As an artist who is trying to capture and hold beauty and sensibility within him, it is not coincidence that Geryon longs for shapes and paintings that emulate the retention and circumscription: the pragmatic, competitive, emotionally-arid, americanized way of life that has tinged the lives of those around him are constantly inviting him to forget about his inner self.

Relatoría crítica del Junio 10, 11, 12 y 13 de 2010 Puede decirse que en este XIV Encuentro Internacional de Poetas, organizado por Roberto Reséndiz, confluyeron y compartieron escena diversas tendencias de la poesía hispanoamericana actual. El organizador ha acertado al convocar poetas de diferentes generaciones, formaciones, propuestas y contextos. Sin discriminar entre edades, géneros o poéticas, Roberto Reséndiz ha ofrecido al público asistente seis maratónicas plenarias de poesía y una conferencia sobre la historia del bolero a cargo del colombiano Carlos Arboleda. La práctica cultural de leer poemas en público tiene varios elementos que podrían identificarse como residuales, es decir provenientes de otras causalidades estructurales.

Es extraño descubrir cómo a los poetas en esta época les causa tanto miedo el pensar en ser pequeños dioses, creadores, hacedores, y su insistencia en que su tarea es humilde como la tarea del artesano. Si es verdad que Dios nos creó a partir del barro entonces él, humilde artesano, nos envía o nos permite tener contacto a través de la poesía con el arte creacional que en Él vive. Por otra parte, a la par de estar lejos de ser pequeños dioses, quieren a través de la poesía alcanzar a Dios, lo cual significa que no niegan su existencia. Very Special Guest StarsBy: Kris Saknussemm I was in town running some errands, a bright Saturday morning—and this young dad, very tall, with his daughter on his shoulders strolled past me. She was a pretty little blonde thing, in a pink jacket, with a pacifier in her mouth that had a blue sort of walrusy creature on the end. Continue reading >>>> Roxy
