Queríamos saber qué era una rosa - What is a rose? We Wondered [Spanish]

By Yosie Crespo

B?lsamos, refugios, armas de batalla, los poemas de Yosie Crespo en Quer?amos saber qu? era una rosa surgen de sentimientos muy poco comunes en estos momentos: la esperanza y la voluntad de lucha. Son poemas para los que han ca?do, para los que sufren persecuciones, violencias, desamparo, para los que sufren el mundo sin atreverse a renunciar. Son poemas de resiliencia en la belleza, en la palabra exacta, en la imagen sorprendente, en el hallazgo luminoso: y acaso ganar sea lanzarse al vac?o con los ojos vendados/ o abandonar poco a poco la inocencia, nos dice la poeta en uno de sus m?s altos momentos. Los textos que forman este volumen est?n llenos de sitios, de situaciones en que el hablante junta su soledad con la del lector, porque en el fondo no hay fondo: hay una calle/ que es un espejo destejido por el tiempo.Poeta con trayectoria vital y literaria importante, Yosie Crespo ha concebido este libro del mismo modo en que se vive la vida en estos momentos: contracorriente. Manuel IrisA balm, a refuge, a battle-weapon, the poetry of Yosie Crespo in What is a rose? we wondered arises from feelings that are all too rare in these times: hope and the will to fight. They are poems for the fallen, for those who suffer persecution, violence, helplessness, for those who suffer the world without daring to give up. They are poems of resilience through beauty, through the right word, through the surprising image, through luminous discovery: and perhaps victory is casting yourself into the void blindfolded/ or the gradual forfeit of innocence, the poet tells us in one of her greatest moments. The texts that make up this volume are full of places, of situations in which the speaker joins her loneliness with that of the reader because there's no ending to the depths: there's a street / a mirror undone by time. A poet with an important personal and literary path, Yosie Crespo has conceived this book the very way we must live in these times: against the current. Manuel Iris
