When even poets strive to find and fix your voice, Angel Augier preferred multiply it by giving the floor the many things we can be or represent, not the mere act of transfiguration theater.
Thanks to this feature, when it starts in December, when they commemorate its centenary, we will be listening to their penultimate traces its in touch Island, the arboretum , these gait that give birth to new nuances in the voices of writers who, at the invitation of
The political poem, the romantic, contemplative, the colloquial, the reflection, the existential, not the most devoted lover possible classifications set this man on a single line of poetry creation .
East as or century of life (which unfortunately did not meet) decided to write another poem: that it definitely gives it to others. Only then is that a writer can be resized, transformed into words, memories, stolen text thoroughly for love or to find that space that saved us.
When performing a relaxed reading of his Poetics Anthology , selection in which he participated and which decided to include all stages of his work from 1928 to 2000, we see the echo of voices intentions, roads, flashazos illuminate us. As a good conversationalist, spanned more than seven decades of the life of a country and its people, of a universe, their doubts and contradictions.
Etching In the poem of his book 1 ( Standing on the ridiculous / summit a nag /-bellies breathing in side / by-filled baskets / iba the coal to the town ... / but his voice was another shadow / sonic / inordinately lengthening / burlesque mirror echoes ... ) is a mixture of contemplation, irony, pain and wonder that is maintained throughout his long and intense life bunk ia and social but, as said earlier, is not the only way to reflect everyday life, although it contains the strength of his claim at the level of 1928.
In whatever direction we move, we will find the restless Augier, a look / Different to all things, with the duty to question and explore all possible essences.
In its unfinished Fabulario , exactly 60 years after he published his first book, there is a time clearing the land, bread, forgetfulness and the echo again, now as a refuge cosmic, always leaves our pieces in the air.
For readers of The Inkwell, and in homage to the figure of our letters won the National Literature Prize in 1991 , a sample of his lyric shocking.
ART POETI CA
The sea can invent its waves and throwing
relentlessly
one after another
on beaches and coral coast
and cry and make them burst in foam,
because each wave springs from the depths of her womb
unfathomable.
His being
delivers all the pulse, rhythm, music and jumping
light and mystery
each wave

The latest edition of Gateway to the road was a luxury, and when you combine a sexy issue, and an excellent speaker, the result can not be another . Camagüey Professor José Emilio Hernandez was summoned to speak about possessed of Roberto Manzano Díaz , very wise choice, since it is a teacher with a vast knowledge of literature and very close to Apple from the time the Award Nicholas 2005 Guillén was a professor of the Institute Higher Pedagogical José Martí.
"Talking Roberto Manzano Díaz spiritualization generates a context that enriches us all," these were the first words of José Emilio Hernández, immediately afterwards, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences and author of numerous articles on education began to recall the years when he worked with the bard. In his view, and from that time Manzano had a pretty deep idea to what I wanted to do with its creation. This self-consciousness, according to the speaker very torn in some contemporary writers makes us different solid to a poetry that "is concerned with real human activity." This last feature was exemplified by the poem "The Volga Barge Haulers." Analysis preceded a short anecdote about how he met Roberto Manzano box that eventually led to the creation of the text.
It Manzano at that time was an outstanding worker, which is why his co mpañeros the union wanted a humble present him with this. A book with paintings by Ilya Repin, a few months since languished in the store base study material served to laudable ends. What I did not suspect any of his peers is that the gift would have such utility. Of course, the story sparked humor, as well as tales about José Emilio Manzano dismissal when meeting and was curriculum. To speak of Manzano spiritualization generates a context, as you said the guest of the night, but also raises the humor that characterizes essential Cubans.
For the lecturer, another feature of the poetry of Robert Manzano is that it is through dialogue with otherness, talk in your case is based on a profound humility. A definite history of this posture found in Walt Whitman, however, for speaker of American poetry has a superb ingredient. To support this claim, José Emilio dove into a few verses of "Song of Myself" that often go unnoticed: Everything observed, everything I write, the whole show with its resonance interests me, I mix it and then I I . Through the comparison of these verses with those of Manzano, the guest showed the audience that the author was born in Ciego Avila has not been limited to take the whole tradition of literature, but in the most significant has made a deep and critical reading of it. Do not forget to note that this reading is extended to other fields such as science and philosophy. This is a whole universe of information that the poet has built a system poetry is "a manifestation of the thought of complexity to the lyrical level."
for Jose Emilio Hernandez, the intention of the writer to assume the legacy Whitmanian not only evidence on the ideological level, also affects the form: thus, if Song of the savanna was based on the organizational principle of the most famous poem by Whitman, recently delivered Manzano texts that demonstrates its ability to build systems acentric poetry, as evidenced in " Steps in the shadow "text in which José Emilio Hernández found evidence of what is now known as deep ecology. Undoubtedly, another reason to approach this "poetry concerned with the dispossessed and the victim," master words that ended the conference.
A rock that from its name pays tribute to one of the leading poets of the moment could not have a better session. It is a pleasant coincidence that it took place in the University Festival of Books and Literature
Like all rock, it also ended with the inevitable conversation among fellow members, but this time the exchange was different. Thanks to him we knew a secret worth uncovering. It is that, given its growing prestige in the academic world, José Emilio Hernandez was invited to participate in the preparation of curricula that will begin to rule in the pedagogical institutes of the country. For new courses, the teacher has given irrefutable: the poetry of Robert Manzano Díaz . A creation that, according to what is seen in recent years, is now valid heritage of Cuban culture.

Sunset.
Heaven publicly dying wishes
lighting petting
again a distant star
one brilliant coup of August days
is gone and with the cries and murmurs of Anemoi.
from my window I can hear chants of Austro vehement,
and begins to appear on my cheeks the color of the spleen
and in my soul,
intrinsic bitterness black bile ...
is here!
sordid is the season has come the fall.
