metaphor mismatch point when the language, trying to jump poetic pomp, just stay in stumble language? What verse out, what image, rhythm, or idea to bring up with lines like these:
"It's a bright angel / Trapped / In the body of a trucker" ('Rudolph the cook')?
And why not laugh? Mundane to the vulgarity, the opacity of the 19 "poems" by Fernando Ampuero published in Quehacer 153, presenting the work that reviewer is torn between laughter, condescension and self-censorship out of modesty. They drowned in the monosignificación texts that never exceed tone park gossip, confession alcoholic journal with acne. Except, of course, when they appear candid rhymes school picture:
"When you are happy aping rock / And so it was never shout" ("Jose, the East ').
The naivete comes a point where any attempt to read would succumb to the licentiousness of so much impudence. It is therefore surprising that Quehacer qualify for 'spontaneous' and 'casual' these verses:
"is a poet without a biography / That does not allow time or ideology" (Carlos Hermann, anachronistic).
If the ease understood in this way was a virtue, Jaime Bayly would Allen Ginsberg Peru. So when looking for the tradition in which to frame the poet Ampuero, all that emerges is the large vein of unintentional humor that shines Eduardo Rada, but now threatened by the wake of the author of thigh ascend. Ampuero But is has been left without friends? "Nobody could say that was enough to honor them pick up the phone? Is not this a new attempt to 'The Lunarejo' to discredit him? The unfortunate emphasis on the author's lyrical tomes smacks more of self in trouble that vocation. Pound said everyone should write poems, but not everyone should post.
