Caring For Half Dollar Fish

Interview JORGE HERRERA MANUEL RODRIGUEZ MILAGROS



for you What is poetry?

Poetry for me is a little hard to describe, I have not found any way that is not weak against the force with which it manifests itself in me, sometimes maldosa is a girl who can never stay on a stable , so that I can describe it, sometimes seems to be the dust covering every surface, wherever the meeting, but in itself it is nothing of this, only it and nothing else.

Could you tell us a little about your life, of his published works, awards, his literary activity?

Go to whole days and nights would need to have a talk in the end will be very bland, but okay I'll be brief: I am a writer of poetry with 37 years of age, which I've already written 4 books , both published and 2 post, and has participated in several local meetings, state, national and international poets. I have pride have been personally invited by Subcomandante Marcos to the Festival of Dignified Rage in 2008. Several means have been reproduced where my texts, both poetry and prose. Currently I am developing as Secretary of the Editorial Writing North / South and I'm host of the nationally Vidari in www.xtacyradio.com, Beyond belong to several clubs and writing workshops. But in short I am a potential reader and lover of poetry, even if unrequited.

When did you write? Why?

I did not realize, but I think that has been fostered not neglect the things around me and form. It may also by this stubborn habit of not being able to express it with the voice that kills me or makes me live.

How would you describe your poetry?

As a lame move lacks wings, but has too many incidents.

What authors influenced your poetry?

Several, including all the classics, but certainly Walt Whitman, César Vallejo, Oliverio Girondo, Octavio Paz, José Carlos Becerra, José Gorostiza, Nicanor Parra and the list is becoming extensive.

What is the order you would like to accomplish with your poetry?

talk to me this is very banal, I do not mean poetry that does something, I see things in a poetic urgency in me to say what this will create for itself, as is already the subject of so that can survive in the sea of \u200b\u200bletters that poetry itself is in these times, when the poet is a being as common on the face of the earth, an example that would give tacit is the rain not only because rain wetting. But if something is working toward a new humanistic culture.

What poem would you choose if you had to choose one special? Why? Only

may be one, and two-syllable: Life.
I think is about understanding why.

How poetic language has changed over the years?

Does he think that I have not noticed it?, So if you perceive is that more and more trash cans filled with what I intend to write. Every time I go living longer, well, I read more. I'm becoming more demanding of myself. creating poems in this higher level to the first I started writing.

For you are born or become a writer? Well
writer
any human being can be if you know language, but a poet, yes I'm pretty sure you're born, I know many cases forced to pretend to be, which for a born refused, let him who is blind from birth, can strain and treated with wanting to become a seer, and if in the end he succeeds, will not be as skilled as he was born blind, as many objects that he will get to know you are very far, as his sound, his own references. And even if you can know the essence, we need to find where to grab.

What advice would you give to a young writer / writer who began in this beautiful way of the WORD?

What they construct a real self and not live in self-deception, to read a lot, because there is no DVD writer.
and to promote among its people a taste for reading, are times when no longer required for actions and poses but reading is unquestionably the wake of all consciousness.

How do you see the publishing industry today? For

immersed in a brief crisis, there are no readers, the books have become residents of wineries and this clearly is a vicious circle, since publishers to cover production costs, make for expensive publications and thus the reader does not get set to buy a book. Would to make agreements with the governments to absorb at least 45% in favor of the reader and programs to promote reading.

If I had to recommend a book of poetry, prose, short story, novel etc. What would you recommend?

Undoubtedly Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman and Don Quixote by Cervantes, but on second thought, until the press is more immense novel that never fails to make up stories every day.

What do you think of new ways of spreading the word, whether on web sites, literary cyber forums, virtual magazines, newsletters, blogs and so on.?

are very useful, because mass media and easy access for everyone except, that man is now more technology than men, and that creates anger me with the electronic media, I feel that we are making an important class in our lives, and automation has never been my desire. Did you know? I am a romantic fetish, a computer I can not install in a park, or plug into the back seat of a bus, I imagine that your hands are busy loading the computer, when I walk with my girl, is not that the book leaves us more space to under the hat?

Finally Do you want to add something?

No, what I want to add? If I'm just saying thanks to those who followed this interview here, and that, so they know that you are a great promoter of poetry and the poetic act.

A hug, and with s

JORGE MANUEL HERRERA
