Do You Capitalize Existentialism

Chanover: POETRY VS. NEW POETRY BOOK

Chanover Oswaldo poetry (Arequipa, 1953) is of high quality. Among his books of poetry, clearly highlight hero and their relationship with heroin (1983) and Study on the action and passion (1987). His work is characterized by the creation of characters and evocative narrative tone, so that assimilated the English language colloquialism and sparingly through the filter of a very personal style. Just seen the light solar plexus (Arequipa: Coven, 2010, 75 pp.). The project is very interesting to discuss poetry with science. The book refers to "mirror neurons", DNA, the theory of constant missteps, the evolution of the brain, among other topics are linked to the contemporary development of scientific discourse. Using parentheses, the speaker tries to establish a poetic distance that allows prosecution's contribution to contrast science with everyday reality and stark.
The result, obviously, does not correlate with the ambitious initial project. As a reader, I feel that poetry loses intensity to be, in this case, something subject to scientific data. Perhaps lacking the use of irony to distance the demystification rather cold tone that prevails in the verses. It is perceived that is Chanover in solar plexus, more concerned to follow the thread of the discourse of science and leaving aside for the moment, the possibility of moving to its receptors. However, there are some notable poems as "heroic efforts (of spirit):" On a moonless night / We do / with the cornea / lens with / With the eyeball / retina (limited to the rainbow) is a detector / What is the nature of the stars? / Are their skin radioactive? / Is there something (miraculous) in such a nebula? " (P. 43). Here you see how metaphors enliven reflection rooted in the evolution of science.
Hopefully in their next books, Chanover resume level of stem poet and give us lines like those of The hero and his relationship with heroin , notable poems of the eighties.

Opened Knee Vs Closed Knee Support

SCIENCE OF CARLOS LOPEZ MARCO DeGregorio

poetic work Carlos López Degregori (Lima, 1952) has been cemented over time. His relentless search for the right word, his assimilation of the symbolist poetry of suggestion and imagery of surrealism heir are an obvious testimony to how this poet has matured since his first books, poetry until a verbal intensive but that does not fall into the secrecy (Synonym, sometimes rhetorical) and also prevents excess prosaísta. A great reader of the poets of the fifties and persistent grower prose poem, Lopez is still awaiting a thorough reading of his poetry whose contribution to contemporary Peruvian poetry has not been calibrated in its true dimension. Specialized literary criticism is indebted to him. No single entire book that focuses on the study of this writing. There are trials and approximations only fragmentary: we need an investigation to account captivating tour of a poet who has concocted and nine books and this is the mark of an unwavering faith in word and a persistent exercise of making literature.
I have on my desk A table in the deep woods (Lima: Peisa, 2010). I just read the poems. I read first days after its presentation that was given by Chueca and Eduardo Luis Chirinos. I must confess that his words have not lost, for me, its initial freshness. The text captures the reader from the first page. I suspect it is for a range of reasons: one is the musicality of the word. If something does not sacrifice Lopez is the rhythm of his poetry that is maintained through a picky spelled the lines of the poem and alternating, very well conceived, from verse short and long-term. The reader feels the breaks that have been meticulously thought out and laborious job. Another reason is the simplicity that is hard to breathe in A table in the woods ... I would say it is a deceptive simplicity, because if one inquires about the meaning of poetic discourse is perceived as complex, backstage, hovering just at the depth of the verses. A third issue worth highlighted is reflective maturity (ie, a long way of life) that emerges from this collection. It seems to be with someone who has not only lived long, but has thought long and hard about the problem of human society.
"A stone boat" may sound a little more, the outlook: "I'm a repeater / Everything you say write it down with loving exactitude / weighing-sense strand. / / When you sleep I talk to you as you sleep. / When you scream advance the words / that dare not utter. " This picture of me on the "you" set not only an image of two lovers who are the front and back of a single currency, but the conception of how the subject foreshadows what is to pronounce, with quivering lips, the other. That kind of dialogue in advance transforms the poem in praise of the word of others. The fact of writing down the possible words of "you" set the thickness of desire and its position in the cosmos.
One of the most evocative poems of the book is "Pulse" which describes the scene to rest her head on an airplane window while this is moving at 30000 feet. I wonder what emerges in the self reflection in the middle of the night? The humanization of the "night owl", the fuselage, the lights on and off, open the way to a deep reflection on the transience of life. Metaphors
that overlap one after another. Similes that seem endless. Narrative touch. Measure, but also intensity. Numerous successes in this remarkable collection of poems by López Degregori.

Pvc Potato Gun For Sale

TUESDAY GREEK QUESTIONS Platypus

"Translation is a bridge between two cultures," he once said Albert Bensoussan, Mario Vargas Llosa translator of French. You can not think of the world today without the role that translators met and fulfilled, that which ply between a source language and target language. The outstanding poet of the generation of the sixties, Marco Martos (Piura, 1942) just published in a bilingual edition (English and Greek), his work In the sands of Homer (Lima: Peruvian Academy Language, 2010). These are poems inspired by the Hellenic world. Texts parade Hesiod Theseus, Prometheus, Odysseus, Thales of Miletus, among other characters. In "Bones of Odysseus" states: "Are the bones of Odysseus / to dust by the sun?", Ie the impossibility of recreating Odysseus return to Ithaca. In another poem evokes the figure of Pythagoras and mathematics associated with the flow of music. Heraclitus, a philosopher, poet motivates the two texts: one reflects on the famous phrase attributed to him ("No one bathes twice in the same river"), the other evidence against the wrath of Heraclitus, Pythagoras, who the announcer calls "quackery grandfather." There is an intense cluster of verses called "Fire", which states: "The life, fire / that goes off when you want ".
In the sands of Homer is not the best book Martos, it does not reach the suggestive capacity of Notebook complaints and contentment, and Where there is love . At times it feels that the cultural data heightened voice and subordinates, rather, the poetic word. Out of that objection, it is a book that deserves to be read carefully because it brings to mind the epic breath of this giant of world literature that was called (Will there really?) Homer.

Pusooy Games Tutorial

writers The interview involves a new way to approach the imaginary universe that is set to a poem or novel or story. Sometimes a poet's statement that a journalist or literary critic can be highly significant and transcend the boundaries of time, such is the case of Stéphane Mallarmé, Jules Huret who said in 1891 that poetry should be synonymous suggestion and name the objects never so literal. Ricardo
Ayllón has just published Questions platypus. Dialogues with Peruvian literature (Lima: Orem, 2010), which introduces fifteen interviews with writers such as Oswaldo Reynoso, Oscar Colchado, Cromwell Jara, Juan Cristobal, Maynor Freyre, Jorge Luis Roncal, Ricardo Virhuez, Enrique Rosas Paravicino, among others. These dialogues were originally published in an online magazine called The platypus , hence the title of the book arises concerning this note. Any property of the authors interviewed? The vast majority coming from within the country: Reynoso, Arequipa, Rosas, Cusco, etc. To a large extent, the book becomes a Ayllón space to question the centrality of Lima and open a quarry to the deep knowledge of literature is in other places than "Lima, the horrible" phrase that characterized the town three times crowned the great poet César Moro.
The best interview is conducted to the author of Eunuchs immortal. Here the Arequipa writer tells how he immersed himself in reading authors such as Rimbaud, Baudelaire and Rilke; also recounts his long stay in China and the understandable difficulty of learning the Chinese language in Beijing. Goes on to say: "If I had wanted to write about social classes, had done a book on sociology, but what I did was a novel. What happens is that made this interpretation of my book ( no miracles in October ) because our literary criticism for many years been steeped in a sociological unfavorable "(p. 99). interesting observation because Reynolds highlights the work of watermark with the language that appears in every great writer. Currently, Peruvian literary criticism, fashion seems to be forgetting the literary form and reduce the poem or story or novel to a number of tunes that are associated with political events of a nation. Reynoso defends the land of literature: the development of a style over the years, but does not fall into temptation formalistic. The writer may represent, in imagination, the political, but does so through a large figurative and symbolic repertoire that permeates his work. Oscar
Colchado talks in the Andean magical Cholito (1985) imagining his famous character could be a leader who will lead the destinies of Peru. Jara Cromwell referred to pleasure you have taxed many shops charge of narrative and how that experience feeds his experience as a writer. Juan Cristóbal evokes the days when he was part of major group "Piélago" next to writers such as Greg Martinez and Juan Ojeda.
Questions platypus is a valuable book for many reasons. The most important is because it allows to enter the intimate intricacies of artistic, literary groups, the experiences from which some great writers are fed and from which they build their imaginary worlds.

Think Have Cysts Throughout My Body

Blood Drop

curse you more than you're already playing with my life
giving
illusions illusions
then show your true
destroy me and those around me
you will go down with me before you do it.
