Presentación del libro 'Galaxias'
According to Antonio Arroyo, this book is not intended as an anthology of poems, but a collection of micro-poems that in principle have nothing to do with each other, although a fusion is sought, a mixture of that material that flows through the galaxies, mixing and crashing causing new suns. It is not a dialogue between poets but a vision of different approaches to poetry.
The book takes its title from a poem by Haroldo de Campos and six Spaniards, one Moroccan, one Algerian, one Senegalese, two Chileans, a Colombian and a Brazilian take part in it. An enriching mixture that includes the sentimental multi-sensoriality of Abderrahman El Fathi; the uneasiness for that which is temporary from Alejandra González Ortega; the corrosive dissident sarcasm of Fernando Sabido; the existential urban beat from Aquiles García; emotional loving in the gender framework of Beatriz Giovanna Ramírez; the mystifying nominalism of Leo Lobos; the curdling voice in overflowing imaginative flow of Antonio Arroyo; expressive exuberance and aching communication from Olga Luis; sensual landscaping of a rich colour scheme in Roberto Cabrera; bitter realism and surrealism of explosive amazement from Amadou Lamine Sall; didactic minimalism from Isa Guerra; testimonial meditation from Farés Babouri and the elegiac vitalism of Sandra Santos.
A group of poets brought together in the art of creating unique galaxies by a particular appropriation of language which shares with the reader who accepts and enjoys the challenge of getting closer to the verses.
