read anthologies of our time to go back to surprise us. To travel through the words and watch us from outside, as inhabitants of a strange world. The perspective could show us what we thought were not being, than was the space we inhabit daily, their streets and their voices, and powerful than our own language, used and abused to death.
Perhaps that is what we go through this anthology of contemporary American poetry, prepared by Piedad Bonnett for Standard editorial: move us back to what we already knew, as if we were witnessing a suit for the first time. We measured the pulse of a tradition with the youthful look of that view.
The tour, which includes two poems by each poet, begins with Oliver turning and César Vallejo. Go through the great poets of the twentieth century as Eduardo Lizalde and Blanca Varela, Eliseo Diego, for those who for some time now have become indispensable: Coral Bracho and Aurelio Arturo Di Giorgio Marosa or Juan Manuel Roca, and even recovers and rediscovers splendid voices such as the Bolivian Jaime Saenz or Cuban Raúl Hernández Novas. The show ends with some poets born in the sixties. There
pedantry here a sample of which fetched for academic autism. The anthology aims, as far as you can, to consider the most representative. Neither would the sake of "Americanness" or geographical equity. The book seems to show that the greatest grace of this poetry, between the exile and dispersion of aesthetics, diversity of reading, is his amazing crossroads. Indeed, in many cases it appears that these poets, rather than to represent the U.S., found an alternative script to try to overcome this atavistic hardness of our societies and countries.
But most important is that in a world accustomed to the logic of quotas and gender, meetings and small groups, but where absolutely necessary readings may be the least amount of poetry, the anthology of Piedad Bonnett again remind us of the importance of the criterion. That for vertigo or travel just a poem. I suspect even when the choice is privileged those poems that walk alone ", that their tracks of origin to become the property of the reader.
As in any sample could discuss the unavoidable absence of many poets, the very choice of this or that poem. But this is only natural. There is no unambiguous choice, especially in these times of permits publishers and cultural balkanization of the media. Nor would a book large enough to give a full account of Latin American poetry, it is without further discussion of the varied and rich traditions of the planet. Things to note in this sample is that it assumes all these challenges with freshness and intelligence.
I can already imagine the young readers, entering the premises of this book as compared to an attic of ghosts. Becoming readers and poets in awe of these strange voices in secret before them, and that surely will follow forever.
The anthology is side B ("Heads and tails"), a text Juan Gustavo Cobo Borda detailed and precise, with more prejudice than the anthology but can illustrate much the reader begins. Although both sides seem no match at all, in criteria such as whether the eyes, the counterpoint created a necessary book. The echoes from every continent once again reinvented its linguistic registers.
