starts today in UACM, the Stream book Rockola "project" 360 °: All angles of the literature. "
"360 ° ..." seeks to promote reading in the university to show that leading figures in their professions and trades have found inspiration in letters. I must say that I am honored and excited to coordinate this project.
A few hours I begin, like Leonard Cohen, find what drew me to the literature and transmit to the participants, but do not remember what it was I do not know where to look. I try as it only list the names of writers close to those I deeply admire: Rosendo Garcia Leyva, Vicente Quirarte, David Huerta, Hernán Lara Zavala, Oscar de la Borbolla, David Martín del Campo, Eduardo Casar ... It may be that some of them, or all together, are responsible for happiness I found in the words.
These authors also are guilty of not excite me (in any sense) those men who do not read. I always thought that reading is sexy (I know there are those who do not like this word, but can not find a synonym). Given this, people tell me: "you think that reading is sexy just because you like it." False: I do not think that things are challenging by the fact that I do, it's the opposite, I do because I think they are provocative (reading, knitting, cooking, writing, traveling, running, all that I find sexy).
fortunate that I have to show the sensuality of the literature tell three (plus the accumulation) male beautiful, sensitive and talented: Malafama Fratta, cress (bottle of sherry) and Fred (La Maldita Vecindad). I can now say that my heart is attached to them (perhaps because it was, but now more) with deep gratitude for their generosity.
Despite how excited I am, I think of the utility, the purpose of reading. Is it sexy and nothing else? Is it just to hang out? What poem can bring to society? Does it make sense to try / try to become readers?
I can not answer these questions, but I know that life is not enough for me, what luck I have had in me is not enough, I know you do not agree with this reality nor with the fate of my country. That is why I read: I need to live, to paraphrase Miguel de Unamuno, what others have dreamed. Leo I do not want to die.
remember a text that touches my soul: "The Manifesto Uchronics" Oscar de la Borbolla, which calls on all those who:
[...] is thrown on the bed in a room perfumed with gas was sawing the wrists in a public bathroom, gas sprayed in a forest where the fires are prohibited or open up a diversion to the open landscape of the canyon, or jump to the bottom of alcohol or opium or bottom of the bottom of a memory or the merits of a book that is worth daily life is wasted.
From Borbolla proclaims: "For the triumph of life and extension of hope! / For the establishment of a new world! / Of the total possibility of the impossible! / For the destruction of true! / FORBIDDEN TO DIE! "
And I find, so this answer: literature, the artificial-language-elements, must be used to combat the natural death, to find solutions to the reality we are unhappy. In reading what hurts and harms is redeemed. It should be read as a remedy against the cruelty of the world. You have to read and fight.
not tell you to crawl UACM students to poetry, the only thing I can guarantee is that I will put all my love and commitment. Read
be my fight.
