aDiøs Padre / Goødbye, Father [Spanish]

By Julio Antonio Molinete

Los poemas reunidos en aDi s Padre exhiben, sin afeites, la ternura de un hombre fragmentado, alguien que desgarra sus vestiduras y no presume infalibilidad sino el anhelo por los brazos de un padre que nunca llegaron a la cuna. Hay un hombre ausente que se desborda por la herida sangrante de estas p ginas. Con su largu sima lejan a sella las memorias de un ni o que hoy es un hombre maduro, rabioso, deshecho y quien, a pesar de todo, no puede evitar amarle mientras despide aquella sombra. Julio Antonio Molinete tiene la virtud de convertir la nostalgia y el reproche en una reconvenci n poderosa. En sus versos gimen las fracturas m s ntimas, pero tambi n emerge el trasfondo de un dolor mayor, ubicado en figuras e incongruencias machistas provenientes del entorno pol tico. Detr s del abandono, le sostiene el amor y las pujantes fuerzas femeninas que lo abrigaron, sobreponi ndole de aquel que dej su propio pozo sin roldana. Hay predicciones insospechadas en la textura de este poemario, distancias recortadas y, sobre todo, la gracia de un verso que vuela surcando la tristeza y cualquier posible amenazante soledad.
--------------------------------------------------
The poems collected in Go dBye Father demonstrate, without embellishment, the tenderness of a fragmented man, someone who tears his garments and does not presume infallibility, but rather the longing for a father's arms that "never reached the cradle." There is an absent man who overflows through the bleeding wound of these pages. With his exceedingly long distance, he seals the memories of a child who today is mature, furious, and shattered, and who, despite everything, cannot help but love him while bidding farewell to that shadow. Julio Antonio Molinete has the power to transform nostalgia and reproach into a powerful admonition. In his verses groan the most intimate fractures, but there also emerges the backdrop of a greater pain, located in figures and macho incongruities stemming from the political environment. Behind the abandonment, he is sustained by love and the vigorous female forces that sheltered him, overcoming the one who "left his own well without a reel." There are unsuspected premonitions in the texture of this poetry collection, curtailed distances and, above all, the grace of a verse that flies soaring through sadness and any possible threatening solitude.
