for you What is poetry?
is like asking what is for me to breathe? For me it has become a fundamental part of my existence, poetry gives me the opportunity to create my own reality, is the medio para expresarme y de ser creador de un todo, de mi propio universo, del poder generar un diálogo conmigo, con lo que me rodea, de saberme a través de las palabras, de reconocerme en las palabras. Es también una declaración de lo más cruel y lo más sublime que me mantiene de pie, ante la realidad que me circunda, puesto que la palabra es salvación.

What poem would you choose if you had to choose one special? Why?
endless Death of José Gorostiza. It is one of the great poems Mexicans, where everything and anything.
How poetic language has changed over the years?
check my first poems, I find in them a language stilted, artificial, big words, encrypted, a language that I referred more to my reasoning and wanting to demonstrate my learning in my poetry.
learned to let go of all those backgrounds, to bring a simplicity and economy of words, simplicity in the sense of making the language less encryption, closer to my reality, and full, now, of experiences life, which hatch and produce the words.
For you are born or become a writer? Refer
Truman Capote " When God gives you a gift, it also gives you a whip and the whip is only for self-flagellation" . There is something of birth and give birth to some of each writer's passion for words, the passion to discover the mystery they contain and to bring them to the limit of the unspeakable and the communicable.
What advice would you give to a young writer / writer who began in this beautiful way of the WORD?
Read, read, read. Read and read to himself. In recognition of the other can find himself in the way of other can find the way himself. Reading is the most important weapon is a writer to know where it belongs, and above all this LIVE, from there, everything you want to convert into words.
How do you see the industry currently editorial?
My answer is about the industry that dares to publish poets. So the commitment to poetry is still a weak point, nobody or almost nobody, is interested in publishing poetry is more an art than a love of company, as a company, few take the risk to the publication. I believe that the outlook will continue in the same evolution, few published, few will read as published.
If I had to recommend a book of poetry, prose, short stories, novels etc. What would you recommend?
books and authors always come at the right time, just mention to: The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera, Tomorrow in the Battle Think on Me by Javier Marias , a novel; Waste Land of TS Eliot and Sunstone by Octavio Paz in poetry.
What do you think of new ways of spreading the word, whether on web sites, literary cyber forums, virtual magazines, ñusleter, blogs etc?
Any means by which to disseminate literature to its creators is well received, especially by easy access and unlimited number to be touched. By complying with the function of bringing more people to other people. Lastly
Do you add anything?
deeply thank the generosity of spaces like this, where there is the possibility of recognizing, and knowing that I take delight in the words of those who read and I read
