Pleodrina

POETRY OCTOBER, 2003 CORZA FRÁGIL ISBN 9972-33-007-9

Pleodrina is a job fraught with encounters and disagreements, where space and silence “work, undoubtedly, as the best and perhaps the only connectors between a succession of feelings and abstract impressions of love, of self- recognition and emptiness” to paraphrase Eliza Fuenzalida. Written and published as Oliver Glave.

when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little 222222 uld see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment.

In reading this collection, I find a mature poetic consciousness and a clear interest in developing a language full of sensuality, with a vehement and passionate speech. These poems, as such, appear as a well-engineered and organic text.

The fact that this book is a turning point – paraphrasing an old gasped voice grammar teacher – is not a coincidence because it transits through the very fiber of language. Verbs are ‘dared’, climate is described as ‘delinquent’. Alexis Iparraguire, Pontifical Catholic University of Peru's National Prize on Fiction Literature (2004)
