Syllables on Hold / Sílabas detenidas

By Víctor M. Navarro

Syllables on Hold, the title perhaps gives a glimpse of it, is a wide sample of the writing of V ctor M. Navarro accumulated in recent years. Poems in which he pays tribute not only to his neighborhood but to the whole, to a city inhabited by essential writers: a city both loving and perverse, magnificently replicated in Javier C rdova's illustrations.

There are no coincidences in poetry nor anything is left over, every casual encounter had to happen: Navarro is the man who from Tacubaya looks out into the world not to get out of there -the saying dictates that one should never leave the place-, but to meet once more with his favorite authors along these pages, decisively crafting every word and at the same time opening possibilities of meanings that invite the reader to give his own version of what is happening before his eyes.

S labas detenidas, el t tulo quiz s lo deja entrever, es un amplio muestrario de la escritura de V ctor M. Navarro acumulada en estos ltimos a os. Poemas en los que l rinde homenaje no s lo a su barrio sino al conjunto, a una ciudad habitada por escritores imprescindibles: una urbe a la vez amorosa y perversa magn ficamente replicada en las ilustraciones de Javier C rdova.

En poes a no hay casualidades ni sobra nada, todo encuentro fortuito ten a que darse: Navarro es el hombre que desde Tacubaya se asoma al mundo no para salir de ah -el dicho marca que uno jam s debe irse-, sino para reencontrarse en estas p ginas con sus autores predilectos, bordando con decisi n cada palabra y abriendo a la vez posibilidades de significados que invitan al lector a dar su propia versi n de lo que est ocurriendo ante su vista.
