Rushing Roulette Game

poetry juice


Leticia Herrera met in early October 2008, he invited me to participate in the XII International Meeting of Writers in Monterrey (Mexico), dedicated this time to the topic " Sexuality and Literature. "I presented some my poetry and a presentation about eroticism and literature, entitled "The Origin of the World" (in homage to Courbet box), which was subsequently published in the journal Bolivia The Feathered Lizard (Fall 2009 ) and the Mexican Replicante (February 2011).

Leticia Herrera Fernando Arrabal
Leticia Herrera was then Director of Arts Council for Culture and Arts of Nuevo León (CONARTE) and had responsibility for several years organizing the event, inviting storytellers and poets of the first order. I had to share these days with the likes of English (living in France), Fernando Arrabal, the Chilean poet Raul Zurita, Ledo Ivo Brazilian, Argentine Rodolfo Alonso, Dolores Castro and Mexico, among others.

Leticia was then that gave me a little book called Living is impossible (2000), where I found Soledad, that captivated me. Three verses as simple as mysterious: " yesterday I went to cut hair / needed someone to touch me / help ." These verses of a poem as soon as infinity were a key to read it. So I found his poetry fresh and crisp to the ear like freshly baked bread.

In 2010 I was asked to write the preface to his "provisional anthology" Just say I was and I accepted welcome the opportunity to present this review early poetry. Any anthology is a balance, in this case one that is half way to close one stage and look ahead.

The book was just released in Mexico (February 2011), published by The Ink in the mirror. In my foreword I go into the stages of the poetry of Leticia Herrera, well represented by the selected poems of several books: Pay per view (1984), Eagle Ridge (1985), Poems to mourn (1985-1990), snail (1996), Living is impossible (2000), needed rain (2002), and For we also come (2006).

Reading Leticia Herrera is a mixture of pleasure, curiosity and shared suffering because in his poetry there are fibers that touch us all somehow feel the same giddiness of being " to match the circumstances s" (of passion and love) "without the parachute reason ".

From Payment to see (1984) Leticia Herrera's poetry exudes eroticism and sensuality, which I think is one of its main attributes. One can not pass with impunity eyes to verses like these: " love your kisses wet / soaked dripping open your lips / your skin is broken / under the blade of my fingers ", written from the experience certainly a sublime experience for the poetic exercise.

In Eagle Ridge (1985), tells us that "A sex that opens / is like a brand new dawn without "and again, the book is crossed by the nerve of desire and pain. Physical love is a way of being alive, but it always entails the pain of loss, which Poems to mourn (1985-1990) becomes a prolonged absences mourning, memories and substitutions.

Poetry is a refuge, a shell to protect against indifference, as in snail (1996), where " was so fragile that mourn / is dehydrating. "Leticia Herrera has that ability to say much with few words, there is nothing left over because his words are like keys that open other ways, such as tracks that one can continue to invest their memory.

Sexuality is an ongoing theme in the poetry of Leticia Herrera. Sometimes appears as if reluctantly, sometimes explosively, as a vindication of women who will not shut up, and that it intends to say everything with all his lyrics in an act of liberation. Thus, there is the least evil to write a poem of a single verse that says: "lame ergo sum", because the catch for the pure pleasure humans is as humanizing as writing poetry, and already told us that beautiful things Octavio Paz.

A delicate eroticism sometimes, and sometimes a stark sexuality emerge breaking the shell of the poems. They are not incompatible " bullet of your hands / where hint / traces of me / sin" and "to most women / ashamed to say / that we like to methamphetamine / but if we like the mess we . " Sexuality appears as in everyday life, in dialogue with other simple, delightfully stirring pleasure these particles released from the body, and some repress and other scattered generously.

Life is full of searches and search poetry is permanent, so that these poems are witness to this woman's journey marked by curiosity. Love and sex are not parallel paths are the same route, so these verses: " if not for the phallus / no men would " or " melancholy is a Aztec dog / biting my vagina . " For the reader, it is refreshing to read poems by women who are not gagged by guilt and are as a response to Mexican machismo.

Leticia Herrera and Alfonso Gumucio, in Monterrey, October 2008
While my favorites are the poems erotic Leticia Herrera discusses other forms of everyday life and does so with the same passion, spontaneity and heartbreaking sincerity. Counterweight to the short poem of a single verse (above), Leticia started the 50 poems of "Living impossible" with the longest, " From nest ", 380 verses describing his memory from age 5 to 14 that begins to suffer the breaking away of adolescence that is passed from girl to woman, without losing the innocence necessary to write many years later .

this anthology would not be complete without also include unpublished poems, that is, those who remain in the shadow poets sometimes modesty and sometimes because they need to rest a while. The unpublished poems Leticia Herrera is a way to tell the reader "here I am today, now." They keep the lines short, witty, That way of playing with words to give them new meanings, and experiential terms is a somewhat skeptical eye on life, on the need to adapt to changing circumstances to survive and cope with the weight: " move the soul skin / and / body tense as the rough / innocent of the evil . "

After 3 classics, and without going into a detailed analysis of the non-football included the loss of roles and sporting values \u200b\u200bthat have brought about the clashes. Details unworthy, immoral and dishonorable for a game, as it is football not forget, that ultimately lacks the famous fair play should prevail at any sporting event.



The anything goes at any price has to end , because football, especially the performing or attempting to Barcelona, \u200b\u200bshould be above any attempt to destabilize the good manners, respect and honesty.



But leaving aside what is not football (remember that the programs most used by the social mass are controversial and dotted with pink) and is taking over our sport, I shall go pin with helmets and details caught and targeted tactics to try to explain unusual circumstances of play and competition, the usual projections that we all observe. Because mortals also aim to learn and improve things.



1, classical league match : love without friction. Do not underline anything, because nobody wanted to do anything or reveal future plans, or tactics in games more transcendent future.



2 nd classic cup match : lovingly rubbing. It was a game where the intensity and concentration exceeded to anxiety and stress. A management team with solvency mood tempos, and one could not control. Piqué losses in pipes and turnovers to the cave hustling Madrid are craftsmen of the 2 best chances of Madrid, Pepe and Christian. Pepe takes the individual marking the player who tries to create the Barcelona game on home soil. Small amplitude and movement of the ball in the development of the club. The ball stopped Madrid created danger, the boat does not work at all, of what Madrid is used to create dangerous cons. The success of Mascherano and central, to make game creation Blaugrana in Busquets. In the 2 nd time, changing Guardiola loading the game right, with village-centered, a success. Quarterback Christian, is preceded by the loss of messi individual action in the danger zone of midfield, with the extraordinary wall marcelo, excellent shopping and great auction end. Playing with a central spread the final minutes of precipitation to the team.



3 º classical way Champions: touch without affection. and unleashed the mother of all battles. There was everything, excessive voltage and current, you could tell that they played more than a party. Struggle and contrasting ideas, both sporting and non-sporting. Tactically, countered the danger barcelona Madrid counterattack with a change of system (14 231) and axfisiante intense pressure after turnover. Villa turned their backs on marcelo, with Pedro on the other end, getting the desired amplitude to allow clearances to Xavi. Barcelona is not far behind and comes into play when you are asking. The mourning star, so intense and even, it staged DiMaria and Alves, with a clear advantage for the Argentine. Pepe played with fire too often and ends up burning. The live game that had to rely on the good pressure madrid Barcelona (on Adebayor and Cristiano). The quick take out the faults, especially Xabi Alonso back hurt culé. Marcelo spills over to make room inside out.






too, because there was too much to analyze. For coaches, a great pleasure to see and analyze everything that happened, I hope that several times, also the football win in all aspects

Peace Testimony

I have three or four friends throughout their lives have shown an admirable passion and infinite patience in the work of rescue memory of our contemporary history, so that Bolivians learn to remember and characters and historical events leave an imprint cyclical Blizzard can not take away more.

Eduardo "Pachi" Ascarrunz is one of them, and after many years of accumulation, published The Word of Peace: a man, a century (Plural, 2008), testimony about his relationship with Victor Paz Estenssoro, by far the most important statesman who has been in Bolivia in the last century.

As the same "Pachi" he says, the book is "something closer the craft of literature, as did my grandmother Rita: make a quilt from scraps left over from other clothing, in this case with remaining pieces of fragments of memory that ultimately make up the puzzle is this work in whole. " The quilt is woven around an historical event: the 1985 general election in which Paz Estenssoro qualified to be elected president of Bolivia for the fourth time. Pachi conducted a creative and ingenious campaign that contributed to the victory of the historic leader of the Movimiento Nacionalista Revolucionario (MNR) and the repositioning of its public image, damaged as a result of its support Colonel Banzer military coup in 1971.

Sum of interviews, conversations, comments and observations, the book redeems the human dimension of Víctor Paz Estenssoro, is a "glimpse of the soul" of man and of itself gave little cryptic and open to other facets intimate. His reluctance to interviews was well known, not just those on politics, especially about his personal life.

Victor Paz in the magazine "Zeta", 1979
Perhaps because of the special relationship of friendship my father was Paz Estenssoro, I could talk to him several times, the last shortly before his death in his home in San Luis, Tarija, but this episode save that for another time.

Years before, when I was in the mid 1970's and asked him about the story "secret" of the MNR, he said he still could not talk about it because he believed he would still have involvement in politics Bolivia, as indeed had it for many years.

In 1979 I interviewed for one of many projects being undertaken by Pachi Ascarrunz, the magazine "Zeta" in which 6 or 7 numbers (not remember) collaborated. Paz Estenssoro received me at his apartment in the building Isabelita, on Avenida Arce in La Paz, and I talked about the political price he paid because of his alliance with Banzer in 1971. However, he defended the decision taken then because it allowed the military to lift the veto hung over the Nationalist Revolutionary Movement since the military coup of Barrientos:

interviewed by Alfonso Victor Paz Gumucio in "Zeta"
"We enter into this conspiracy for two reasons. A general value: the country was in a chaotic situation, the worse day by day, could have unforeseen consequences for the very existence of Bolivia. Another, from the standpoint of the MNR, because he had established a miliary veto for political action. (...) As head of the party I had a vital interest for that veto would disappear. "

Pachi also devotes two pages to the political relationship and friendship between Alfonso Gumucio Reyes and Paz Estenssoro. In a conversation he had with him in May 1985, Peace rescues what he said about my father (who played in another occasion.)

Pachi seems to say at all times in his book: "I was there, I saw, I heard ...", as if to underscore the story first hand and your own voice, that of a journalist at the same time that it makes a great testimony to the character of contemporary Bolivian politics, offers his own life in turn to the relationship with the person-not just with the character, Victor Paz Estenssoro.

The "ninguneo" which is performed with relish in Bolivia ignore criticism makes written and published many books with great effort. Told myself at the wrong book (New Chronicle September 2010), two years after being out of print, despite the value that is testimony of our contemporary history as a product of the will of a reporter who works for the memory, a concern that has always characterized.

Classic Alternatives in football


Football is a indefinite game, unpredictable and highly uncertain. Everything is based on Rule 10 of Rules, which reads " win the team that scores the most goals ." The game and the approach is based on achieving overcome the opponent, getting goals and not fitting.
Yesterday I heard a word worthy of reflection: ALTERNATIVE
A football team is based on a style and philosophy of the game system of its own, well-crafted and based on the players who make it up, and group cohesion, work and strong psychological resistance to maintain a collective spirit and competitive day.
alternatives (both system, positioning, set pieces, of approaches to match different players ...) are a cornerstone to build a team capable of overcoming all circumstances that arise in every game .
We define them as footballing specific options other than the approach, style and overall philosophy of the game, worked to solve the adverse and unpredictable circumstances of a party to adapt to uncertainty and overcome the opponent .
These alternatives can be technical, tactical, strategic, psychological, such as playing with extremes, namely a line beyond playing offside, or play with 10 against 10, to overcome the pressure at the outlet of the ball, controls short certain areas, direct play early pressure against ...
The team with more options worked, will be able to overcome adversity and uncertainty of the game with greater ability to both adaptation and implementation and effectiveness.

Seven Seas Creamy Italian

bad memory honored


weeks ago, when it was published in New Chronicle 76 my review of the book Vesty Pakos and Tiger's smile that he wrote his friend and fellow naturalist Carlos Farfán Capriles, I remembered the extraordinary personality of Sylvester and I decided Pakos Sofra visit, after many years, the zoo he designed shortly before his accidental death and premature.

Well Pakos Vesty would shudder in his grave if he knew that the zoo of La Paz that bears his name suffers the greatest neglect. Not well understood what the hell do the sixty people on the payroll - "are more employees than animals," said my brother Peter eye peeled because it is clear that the place, Mallasa Park does not receive less attention for a long time.

I have no doubt that the excuse for so procrastination is the lack of budget for the municipal government of La Paz. But if true, the sixty employees should be on all fours cleaning the place and cutting the weeds that invade both cages and gardens. Is a case in an intelligent response attributed to Pope John XXIII when he was asked: "Holy Father, how many people work in the Vatican?" And he answered gravely: "Less than half." In the case of Zoo Pakos Vesty, it seems that the only ones working are the ones who charge the tickets. But surely the sixties receive their full salary to make ends meet.

My brother Peter, who Vesty was very friendly, publicly in the presence (6 of junio1993) the most complete but tight-biographical sketch that I know, where among other things talks about his extraordinary generosity and altruism and a charisma that everyone recognized immediately.

I had not happened before nickname Vesty associate your name, Silvestre, his parents gave him as having been endowed with clairvoyant powers, as wild is the word for nature that grows wild and free, without permission or obligation, and he was well, a free man in a nature that it welcomed fraternally. These are traits that my brother underlines text.

same Vesty got caught in an act of love with a giant boa, who stroked the fur of a tarantula on your shoulder, or melted into hugs with a lion who behaved like a kitten in need of affection . From childhood he showed no fear of snakes or spiders. What many are vermin that goose bumps just see them close to him were cherished friends and let your body take a quiet tour. Minor bugs, he ate: protein ...

With
coral snake between teeth and the grin that always characterized it appears on the cover of the book Capriles that recalls their friendship and remember the adventures that ran together in the jungles of the Beni and the trips were made from La Paz to San Borja, in that narrow road that descends from the peaks to the sub-tropical Andes. From the first tour of the dangerous "path to the mystery, the way to glory with which the book begins, hovers over the reader a harbinger of fatal outcome, because there Vesty died in an accident in late 1993.

Pakos Vesty, photo by Fernando Arispe
I read the story of Carlos Capriles with familiarity you feel when the events described are confused with personal experience. As teenagers, I Vesty we inhabited in the same neighborhood Obrajes, our houses were three blocks away. The neighborhood was still a relatively isolated area of \u200b\u200bthe city center. Just follow up on the street 5 the bed of a creek surrounded by fruit gardens (from which we drew to hondazos) to reach the plateau of High Obrajes where there was not one building was a plain open for tours and discovery before becoming the "neighborhood of teaching" in the late 1960's and today a citadel populated together with the city of La Paz.

Vesty and I were "lazy", the club district was funny Obrajes motto "If the job gives health, to work sick." On 1 May 1962, International Workers Day, the lazy unveiled in the main square of Obrajes a plaque with that slogan. The carnival that organized the lazy lasted two weeks and were proverbial, more entertaining than the Splendid or Country, the clubs of the neighborhood pitucos Sopocachi or Calacoto. It was a time of mischief but not malice, we were a united community that enjoyed healthy.

Doña Hilde's mother, Vesty, attending a block from the church Obrajes a small grocery store with cheeses, cold meats, and some tin cans. Everyone in the neighborhood knew and liked. Always welcomed us with a melancholy smile. His eyes light condensed memory of his past in Serbia and the paths of no return that he had passed along his life. After Yugoslavia and Austria (where he was born Vesty), Bolivia became the first of January 1950 with a four year old son and a husband who died three months later in an accident.

Capriles devotes several chapters to the Biological Station of Beni (EBB), near San Borja, which he ran a time on behalf of the National Academy of Sciences, where Vesty was countless times, so that knew all the roads and all the people loved him for his treatment always affable and optimistic. At the same time I visited the EBB, my children were still very young, and spent several days there mixing business with pleasure, fear, suffering enjoy biodiversity.

For us city dwellers, as Macedonio Fernández (cited by Cortázar in "The Book of Manuel"), "the field is that awful place where chickens walk around uncooked" but for those who worked at the Biological Station of Beni, the almost virgin forest was a paradise of endless diversity of fauna and flora.

Vesty designed the habitat of the tenants of the new zoo of La Paz, for everyone to enjoy space and natural landscape features of ecological zone from which they came. ; But what remains today is lamentable: the ponds and ditches have no water, spectacled bears, jaguars and condors are hidden behind a bushy network of bars, poorly painted and awkwardly placed, which prevents to see the animals, immersed in an indescribable sadness.

In other zoos around the world, led by intelligent people, glasses are placed to avoid blocking the view, but here are dedicated to building thick metal vines so they do not see anything. The snake, which plays elongated body of a boa, it seems that it was changing its skin, peeled and aged on the outside, inside and very poor in many species. In a country as large biodiversity, it is incomprehensible that the zoo La Paz is limited to a few cats, monkeys, llamas and snakes.

paraphrase Diogenes (and Lord Byron and Groucho Marx), Vesty used to say "The more I see the politicians, the more I love my boa." And that sentence is appropriate for the bureaucrats who have left the zoo.

How Much Is A Oxfordplate Worth

Museo Soumaya

One night in late February, three hundred guests could admire the inside of the new museum building Soumaya and valuable content, but then closed its doors until now that has just opened to the public on March 28, to show the private collection of Mexico's most important art.

I had the opportunity to be on opening night when the workers are still working around the clock to finalize the details of fine work of the museum that belongs to the founding of Carlos Slim, the world's richest man, owner Telecommunications in Latin America (an expensive and poor service in Mexico) and so much more, currently embroiled in a pitched battle against the media power of Televisa. But that is another story.

The building of the Museo Soumaya, which is named after the late wife Slim, initiator of the art collection "is a bare metal structure that stands as a glowing sculpture in the urban complex of Plaza Carso (the name of the business group), a vast area where the buildings now sit offices Slim's companies, a recent development in the northwestern district of Polanco, adjacent to the railway railway Cuernavaca.

In architecture as in art, comparisons are inevitable. Thus, the Museo Soumaya is inspired by great artists of organic architecture, for its internal spaces, its twists, curves and its coating, has some of Frank Lloyd Wright Santiago Calatrava, Oscar Niemeyer and Frank Gehry. Inside, a ramp can move from one level to the next, recalls the similar design of Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum in New York, while outside the building designed by young architect Fernando Moreno, is covered by 16 000 hexagons metal which refer to the visual effect of Gehry's Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.

The structure is a challenge to the force of gravity. Sitting on 28 columns tubular perimeter, is projected as a big wave suspended by tension and torsion effect of the materials used. Some say it is also similar to the chimney a nuclear plant.

Mexican President Felipe Calderón
Beside Carlos Slim, at the opening, were not only the President of Mexico Felipe Calderon but close friends of the tycoon, as the Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez, and American journalist Larry King, who in his opening remarks, then shed the coat to show their symbolic ties, "she said in English:" Never have seen art like this , shown in this way. " Carlos Slim announced the Soumaya Museum admission is always free.

The 16 museum collections are spread over six floors have 7,517 meters of exhibition square. It displayed the opening night was a preview of the wealth that holds the stock. The 66 thousand pieces of art that represent collections of painting and sculpture, both Mexican and European correspond to the eclectic tastes of a private collection, which therefore has the advantage of covering a wide range of art disciplines and many expressions of creativity popular.

Juchitán Rio (1956), Diego Rivera
Miniatures and Shrines, Applied Arts, Coins and Medals, Fashion from the XVIII to XX, Photography, Printing Commercial Art, European Sculpture Auguste Rodin and nineteenth and twentieth century, European Old Masters, Twentieth Century Mexican Portrait, Landscape of Independent Mexico, Twentieth Century Mexican Art, and Prints Devotional, are some of the libraries. On the ground floor exhibits a work so far known by very few, "Rio Juchitan (1956), a small mural mosaic Venetian the last one that made Diego Rivera, transferred on loan to the Museo Soumaya and the Suarez family.

On the top floor, the exhibition of sculptures by Auguste Rodin is considered the second largest in the world after the one that exists in Paris. Along with the works of Rodin, are those of Salvador Dali and other great artists.

The European painting collection includes works like "St. Francis of Assisi in Ecstasy" de Zurbarán, a "Immaculate Conception "of Murillo, or" Sacred Family "by El Greco, among the English, but also abundant emblematic works of Lucas Cranach the Elder, Rubens, Titian, Bruegel, Frans Hals and Van Dyck.

Mexican painting is represented by the largest, Rufino Tamayo, Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, José María Velasco extraordinary landscape, and several foreigners who painted Mexico in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

I have not seen another museum in this country so rich and with a variety of works by such prominent authors. With more than six centuries of art available to the Mexicans, the museum is undoubtedly the most important in Mexico, where oddly places like the Museum of Modern Art and the Museo Tamayo, do very little to show significant works that maintain most of the time in the shadows of their warehouses.

my turn to return the Soumaya Museum to view calmly, without all the excitement and the deployment of security that touched me the first time that night in late February. I appreciate each work without trouble, just enjoying "aesthetic joy," as Sartre.

How To Instant Level Up In Mount And Blade

Carlos Fuentes, Bolivia on the map


Nobody is a prophet in his land, but in the case of public figures on the size of Carlos Fuentes, the desperate flapping of ninguneo and are canceled diatribe against the strength of a monumental work. It is true that some in Mexico do not want their greatest living writer, and try to disqualify him for his political views, but the names of those opponents will not stand the time, but instead his work is already history.

I had to participate, as an envoy of the DPA at a press conference and book signing session in the flagship Librería Gandhi Mexico. As journalists we met with Fuentes, more than 500 people waited their turn to enter the auditorium, mostly young readers who did not live like us during the "boom" of Latin American literature, but recognize the greatest writer in Mexico, the eternal candidate for the Nobel Prize for Literature, but no journalist raised the issue.

"There are more journalists than readers," commented Carlos Fuentes slyly not knowing that their readers were waiting outside in a long line around the store and disappeared into the darkness of the cobblestone streets of Chimalistac.

television cameras and flashes Photography cornered the author of "The Air Is Clear", but during the press conference most reporters' questions addressed political issues: drug trafficking, the PAN government, corruption, violence. Shortly literature, it is believed that any public figure is required to position itself politically.

"I can ask a question about literature? - I tried to get their attention. "There are writers who write books and publishers, and other writers who write with a plan to develop a complete work. You're one of these past. When concludes that plan? " did not hesitate a second:" In death. I hope to write to the end, I have nothing else to do. A work never completes. Balzac not completed yours, why I'm going to complete. Always get things in the pipeline. "

The hackneyed question of a reporter is not left waiting, when he says that "books are like children" and asks you to name your favorite work. "I can not because all are equal for me. Some are one-eyed, some are tall, some are short ... does not matter because they are all my children, I love them all. "

Fuentes lives and writes in London, and spends only a portion of his time in Mexico. "Are you a modern man?" A English journalist asked, to which responds: "I feel very old, I am of the Roman Empire."

it survive the book? How does it feel to young Mexicans? What about the presidential race? What is your diagnosis of Mexican politics? Will there be a third world war? The questions flow one after another, some of them have heard thousands of times. What is your next book, what are you writing now? "That does not speak, otherwise I do not."

When questions begin to repeat Fuentes becomes impatient and asks readers to let go, but first, the journalists also have books to sign. I held a copy of "All happy families", that strange book of stories about characters that includes "choirs" written as poems.

"Who? She asks. "For Bolivia," I reply. In hand, a representative of the Editorial Santillana said: "For the whole country ..." while sources drawing a map of South America and Bolivia exactly situated in the heart of the continent. "Do you like my map?" He tells me to return my book.

minutes before I asked if his love for film, shared with García Márquez had influenced his narrative: "Has not felt the absence of the image to write? Is it enough poetic metaphor of writing? "

exhaustively answered: "I love movies, I know the time of the 1930 to 1950, but I think that literature is an end in itself, the literary image is more powerful than the film, because it allows the reader to imagine, while in the film the viewer is bound to see what is on screen. " He adds: "Unless a director like Bunuel that puts players looking out of the screen. That is, there is a world outside the screen. "

When they entered his readers signed for three hours at least a thousand books, each one carrying two or three copies. A woman came with a dozen first editions, of those that still have in my libraries scattered or boxed.
