What Does Anonym.to Does

walls bordering Jose Angel Valente [Ein Wort], bordering the silence



If you cut the trunk of the cherry,
not find the flowers in it:
spring alone has
seed flourish.

( Koan Tree Version)



about five months ago I first heard the name of Jose Angel Valente. "Listen" because I read (heard) without seeing it: limo, life, scale, vacuum, humidity ... Listen to some of his poems and did the curiosity to inquire about the poet of Orense. The first meeting took place thanks to that common taste "words-signs", or words "substantial" as plaintiffs in the Semitic languages. Then, through his posthumous legacy, a sort of culmination or poetic career that closes the work "open" has been his voice and his day: Fragments of a book future. Lately, I review the central themes of his poetry: the word and the art, the Kabbalah and Zen Buddhism, the ineffable nothing.
By prefacing a posthumous collection, Juan Goytisolo writes: the "exemplary Valente is its flagship search of the verb, in the settling of a word, art that aspires to the word total. [Valente] was proposed to achieve the radical past that foreshadows the silence." Remember "word" of memory material . Here, Valente-filled, an emptiness necessary occupation, a desire to silence a need to erase that characterizes modern poetry. Others choose to avoid it and prefer not elegantly. Valente not. Obstinately persists in obscure symbols filled with something that is almost say.



Word made
nothing.

Rama into the empty air.

Ala
no bird.

Flight without wings.

Orbit
which center naked
of every image.

Light
which is not yet
its innumerable face visible.

Happy New Year (the 2010 does not start with anything new)

The procession required a December by Miami malls give way to the ghost of the buy-buy-consume. It is evident, more than any other place, the capitalist zeal led to their highest speeds. Parties or (holidays) are not far from religious festivals or holy days of family gathering. Quite the contrary: it is the individual who is stressed and the condition worsens the ego . Giving a gift, as understood in the discourse of capitalist construction holiday is nothing more than give a gift to yourself. Is to use a whole system of economic mechanisms and value-usually unnoticed by the consumer, so try to realize a conditional representation of what we assume we see in certain person, the comfort expressed through mass reproduced and the same conditions as only in person. This process, as reproduced infinitely, it can be seen fully in the commercial space that end, according to many American intellectuals, make the last element that binds us to those who live in the U.S.; the mall. begins 2010 with the usual left foot, hangovers, debts, and above all the famous crisis. S anta living, Santa Claus Miami (Caribbean and false beards excellence but real belly) that we get to the gates of Ross or Marshalls and invites us to celebrate another year of family, values \u200b\u200band life.
