The poet Joaquin Perez Azaustre devoted his column today in The Day Cordoba the swirling Cartonerita niñabonita.
"Poetry in times of crisis, but no poetry in crisis. It is in these days when winning poetry form, Courage, and conciseness. It is imperative to poetry and also arise in Libya, after the ashes of the revolution against the tyrant . There is a need here and now, with an intelligence that violate limits again tangible and allies of the imagination. That's what happened in Zaragoza, where an initiative has been twinned with another Buenos Aires led to an unusual collection of poetry: niñabonita Cartonerita . This is a new collection of poetry, with a new concept and an absolutely new, like everything new that is worth copying someone: Eloisa Cartonera cooperative in the legendary district of La Boca. It turns out that David Jimenez, one of the culprits of this story, on a trip to Buenos Aires is a cultural group dedicated to edit not just notebooks, not just books or plaquettes , but few books-books plaquettes -edited with used cartons, whose origin is not only not concealed, but proclaims, recycled for the purpose, that is, edit poetry. Each of the books individually, is hand painted on the cover, so that each book of the same name is different others, that is customized and spent multiple origin. I know this wonderful initiative by the writer David Major, who has edited them into a collection of poems which is almost novel or a novel with chapters reduced to the backbone of swordfish, entitled precisely Another novel. Mayor David was in Córdoba for several years at the beginning of July 2006, presenting his book of poems Elsewhere, in the bookstore shelf, which also featured another book by Martin Rodriguez Gaona. It was one of those afternoons rather fluffy books in the soporific heat of gin and tonics earlier in La Gloria, when sweat was expected to tumultuous summer for writing itself and collecting ashtrays from the bar. Córdoba, in summer, only exists in its bars and bookshops.
What most excites me about these people is that it has submitted the crisis facing the best they have, daring, invention. In addition, cardboard and paper recycling, materials used because literature is used, with subtle mime objects without worrying about their durability, but its mutant forms toward a new life. We need to find new life -remember the title of the book by Eduardo Garcia, to find again renamed, this speck of light that precedes the mystery. Today I felt very close to Zaragoza, and I wished more united to Cordoba in the humble and visionary temperament. Even the name I like. "
And today, the ever generous Octavio Gómez Milian has recommended my novel lies in the program of Radio Zuera Patricia Imaz.
