Decepción. Una cubierta muy cuidada de colores chillones que te llama la atención en la estantería de una librería de ciudad de provincias, el nombre de una editorial, Bartleby, que te lleva a pensar que el contenido será contestatario y, sin embargo, vacío te quedas al acabar este poemario. Sin vida, sin magia, sin fuerza, papel de celofán y nada más. Engaño.

Lo destaco por el amor a la poesía que logra transmitir mediante la imagen de palabras que se desparraman.
I get my period, september 1964
How can I forgive you this blood?
Which was not to flow again, but to cling joyously to my womb
To grow, and become a son?
When I turn to you in the night, you sigh, and turn over
When I turn to you in the afternoon, in our bed,
Where you lie reading, you put me off, saying only
It is hot, you are tired.
You picket, you talk of violence, you draw blood
But only from me, unseeded and hungry blood
Which meant to be something else.
Diane di Prima (Nueva York, 1934)
Me gusta por el uso original de la menstruación como oportunidad perdida para materializar el deseo urgente de ser madre de la escritora que culpa a su compañero de no estar por la labor de hacerle el hijo que tanto ansía.
The room within
this room within my self wants light
a flowing-in with flowers that I take out of you
shot prisms and candles pierced through walls
built of my fear-kept hands that now you
bear to earth rich and quick at my door
trusting aside the vines long grown hanging
about my careful house wherefrom that reasoned place
we would sing the pattern dance dancing
through the ritual hieroglyphs of passion
when we would go moving as people do with
purpose would take apart this room stone
by stone and set ourselves outdoors
to make with the sun
Mary Norbert Körte (California, 1934)
Lo aparto por la luz, las flores, el baile y los jeroglíficos de pasión.
Un 2’5/5.
