"April their 
opened flowers ..."
From Santa Clara, the capital city Villa Clara province, says the April appointment of his coterie The tenth is a tree who founded it in September 2007 and directs since: Enriqueta Pérez Mariana Pérez , poet, researcher, creator of the website of that space, member of the Tenth Wing and its representative in that territory
"APRIL FLOWERS opened ..."
For Enriqueta Pérez Mariana Pérez
The third Friday evening was one of the most productive in the "flora poetics "of Santa Clara. The Forum of Agesta UNEAC recalled the outbreaks that, for thirty years, have been born and multiplying in the literature Villa Clara, where people present was the poet Siegfried Ariel, founder in 1981, together with Aristides Vega Chapu, Miguel Paez, and countless creators of literary newsletter Shoots that has gone through various stages until today, when guided by the important poet Caluff Bertha. It was precisely Sigfredo Ariel who founded the section "Today the tenth" in March 1982 (Year 1, No. 7), "Evocation" Leoncio Yanes. And yet with the pressure of having to abandon the outbreaks running toward the tree- summarized by a digital presentation, the perma nence the tenth in that bulletin, which has never underestimated the verse or its practitioners, whatever their age or condition (workshops, repentistas, writers).
already in a hurry, after the search of coffee and then to the Museum of Decorative Arts to start gathering points tualmente. But while all this was happening, another group made mischief in the library (employed) " The Moonstone ', whose founders, Lorenzo Lunar, Rebecca Thompson and Liany Vento-started its rock' The asere enlightened" at 3:00. And, as I learned later, were also a few tenths improvising, writing humorous, dedicated to a person who does not want to mention - how awful!
"The tenth is a tree" was directed this time Children's Literature and Youth muc 
have had reasons for it. First, April is a month full of anniversaries, in which representatives have in this age a special place: International Day of Children's Literature and Youth, in tribute to Hans Christian Andersen, the 50th anniversary of the Union Pioneers of Cuba, now José Martí Pioneers Organization, and 49 Union of Young Communists, 68 anniversary of the publication of The Prince , among other no less important. With these reasons and mainly by a new book as well by as the prize in Tenth Ala, the friend Tertullian Olimpia Duarte Pombal was our guest. After I presented, by reading the work "More books for children and youth: a purpose of the zoo Journal of Pombal Olympia," she had the opportunity to read his texts, but not all: the poem "1812", awarded in Ala Tenth , we let to close the enc uentro.
In the gathering amazing things happen sometimes. This month saw the "graft" our tree "yolk" of Ciego de Avila, is José Arias Díaz (Pepe), a man who writes and tenths and has many wishes grow. Pepe and his wife Lucy made us an exceptional gift: tenths "A Santa Clara", embroidered and framed in a table (complete with glass). It appears that Cuba already has done so much with the stanza, which has emerged a new trend: the tenth embroidered-recall that in September 2010, Paulina Alvarez embroidered a tapestry for the Editorial Capiro -; hope that thrive trend and tenth day we expose in this way, as is done with the so-called tenth mural (as Pauline has exhibited his in Provincial Library Martí).
This month there were numbers 41 and 42 of the catalog reaming, although each day it becomes more difficult to print, but thanks, once again, Joseph (Pepe) Arias, each attendee was able to take a copy of 42, which appears his collaboration. "This month's piece" Strawberries, Gessa Sebastian Arias, belongs to a rich collection of English paintings, brought to Cuba by the ophthalmologist santaclareño Massaguer Juan Antonio Salas, and Sofia Garcia, Seville, both deceased [see one of these parts in the catalog rhymed No. 21].
For if all spot and not enough, members of the party had another reason to feel satisfied. Professor Ana Maria Baeza, of Chile, visited our web site and decided to establish communication, that is greatly appreciated. Reproduce, for the praise of our poets, some ideas:
With much joy and envy found your site on the Internet "The tenth is a tree." I can imagine how delicious it must be those gatherings in Santa Clara. I am a professor in the Department of Literature University of Chile, I cultivated the tenth, especially writing texts for children. [...] For me the tenth is a haven of rhythm, where I find peace amid the shrill dissonance that gives us the currency. However, modernity does not always forgives and is besieging us, we require the transformation and it is like life. [...] You have such a rich tradition ... I'm very eager to learn. I was impressed by the verses of Caridad González Sánchez and let me know how I can access their work. [...] I really liked "1812" Olympia, I see that, like Charity have given the tenth plasticity for poetic quality.
Charity and Ana Maria and are communicating. Olimpia says that this is another award for his work.
And I am forced to conclude with something to say about those tenths great: if you want to feel an intense emotion that tries to read while listening to the composition of Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (18 40-1893) "1812 Overture", with the experiment can see the tremendous talent and culture of this woman who has been able to translate the language of symphonic instruments the mold, no less complex ten eight-syllable verses. Although we had no orchestra, she gave us his work with the music of his voice.
The sun was falling, the trees bloom Leoncio Vidal Park the birds began to arrive each evening, from the UNEAC scattered outbreaks of poetry while still paying off the tenth throughout the city ... and even the stones of Selene.

"MORE BOOKS FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH '
ABOUT THE JOURNAL 
ZOO, OLYMPIA POMBAL
Olympia, as well Remedios, loves partying
of his hometown.

"Involve writers, National Council for Culture, etc., to create more books for children and young people." These words, spoken last forty years, National Seminar on School Libraries and Pedagogical Documentation Center, 1971 - by the eminent Cuban Olinta Ariosa librarian, served as a starting point. At that time the authors were few Cubans who went into the complex world of children, fortunately, was also there Eliseo Diego, the greatest defender of imagination and fantasy during those two poor years. A purpose of the meeting, I wrote ["All the time an agenda and 1971 ', unpublished]:
do not remember the tone of his voice, but the twilight of living room, and the man gray beard, the Poet, that morning, and without protocols. The privacy provided encouragement to listen and drink the wisdom of one who, by that time, he worked also as a librarian. Offered more than a lesson, a "course" whose vision showed, in condensed ring, the path followed by the literature that children are appropriated through the story.
will point out here three ideas developed by Eliseo Diego , because they come very purpose of the book which we will present: "Literature for children is an invention Recent "does not equal" literature for children "that" literature of children "has been a" war between adults and children because of a misunderstanding. " "It crawls the tendency to consider literature as an afterthought, as a luxury." "Books for children should have the highest possible artistic quality as an essential factor, because it will have a role in the formation of his personality."
And if I have included these wise words, because literature for children and youth in Cuba failed to show that impoverished landscape that gave us the colony and the pseudo-republic. Those intellectuals and visionaries Olinta Eliseo Diego Ariosa notice it and gave the alarm, and thereafter, throughout the archipelago began to emerge people with enough sensitivity to listen.
One such person, in 1971 had 36 years-not in that audience. Yet she, Olimpia Victoria Duarte Pombal, born in Remedios, also "heard" the call, although it is better to say: "Children felt bubbling inside." Olympia is still so young bicycle travels the distance between the Virginia and cast the city center. Olympia comes before the other with the innocence, purity and honesty of children, so do not write "literature for children" but "literature of children", his work, therefore, does not result to this misunderstanding, I alluded Eliseo Diego. She has won numerous prizes in poetry competitions at all levels-just received the Special Award Ada Elba Pérez, second in importance of national competition XI Ala Tenth - and has published two books for Children: Winged silk (Capiro, 2004) and this, we are presenting, Journal Zoo (Touch of Beauty, 2010), but also writes poetry and short stories for adults.
What about the zoo Journal ? This delightful book, forgive the cliché, has grace, freshness, humor, elegance in the rhyming word and wisdom without didacticism, among many other qualities. As its title suggests, the zoo Journal, is a fabulous period, written by the characters, some friendly and intelligent animals, in imitation of human and journalists, lead to criticism of all the evil that man does in the world today. The newspaper has the elements and sections that a respectable newspaper should have: title and subtitle, pier, "today's column" (editorial), "News Brief", "Health Issues", "Cultural", "Swift Sport ',' International ',' Curiosities for the curious "and" accommodation. " The drawings of Jesus Adrián Morales Santos, even in its small format black and white, have quality and humor complement the topics covered. This is a good book of poetry, which conveys to children the values \u200b\u200bof our language in its wealth stanza: tenths (spinels and atypical), ballads, quatrains (as such) and two lines rhymed quatrains and two loose octaves, matched. In the metric is used primarily octosyllable, but also the pentameter and hexasyllabic, but as our goal is the tenth, I will stop there.
At the entrance of the book is, as in the newspapers, "today's column," called "almost a rebellion, of the inhabitants of the zoo, four-tenths, to protect life, threatened by all kinds of natural and social phenomena.
The section "News Brief" is written entirely in spinels - "Mega carrot ',' Voluntary work 'and' vacant space '- which, in the tone of journalism, combining humor and reflection.
section 'Fast of sport "is mainly written in quatrains, but concludes with two tenths, and these give news of the football match between Spain -wolf and Brasi- zebras, and of Ostriches and turkeys in baseball, whose excellence lies in the graceful and agile information within Compulsory mold stanza employed.
The last tenth, "Rejection of the interference of aliens" is in "International." It is precisely the most interesting, not only by the use of a formula-abaab cddcd atypical, "but also for their information about the platypus. As suggested, criticized the xenophobia and the rejection that makes humanity in different individuals.
As this is a relatively short book, one can only say two things, as a climax. The first, really, that Olimpia Duarte Pombal literature is not a luxury or an unnecessary element of life, but life itself, for he writes "from" the girl who still is, and his books, as requested by Eliseo Diego - play a role instrumental in forming the personality of children, because they have the highest artistic quality. The second, in jest, are a few tenths which I have devoted particular attention to the friend:
LATEST NEWS IN THE JOURNAL OF ZOO
some Mrs.
Olympic-worthy of the throne
entered the cage of Mono
and talked with him an hour, trance
The Journal regrets
because, this conversation, was jealous
a lion, a wolf and
