By the time I write this "post", Ida Vitale will have begun in the Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid , his lecture "José Angel Valente: ways to clean the air." At today's meeting, which I can not attend a previous engagement, will continue tomorrow, Wednesday September 29, 2010, a reading of poems by Uruguayan author ... But tomorrow is a day of strike, and still can, not a day of poetry, but to reclaim the street and leave with empty chairs to remind all friends and colleagues who are at work or unemployment, the worst nightmares. Two years ago
Ida Vitale met in another concert that took place at La Residencia de Estudiantes. I have dedicated his book and the memory of their fragility and their perspectives. The photographer of the event I "stole" a picture, while talking to her ... And I prayed that I ordered it the next day ... I also wrote to the Private ... I thought my face was mine, that my action I belonged in part. But the picture never came to my mailbox.
Tomorrow, the general strike in Spain, and a protest by the decent and the rights of workers across Europe, I would not be in residence. The circumstances I have stolen the joy of reunion, but nobody can take away a book of poems, dedicated in 2008 by a woman at the same lucid and humble. In his honor, and to a reunion that will not, I copy here a poem by Ida Vitale.
TRAPS
optics Harps joy ...! JRJ
Chance, that God lost his battle waged
, fire to fire,
is not only hidden in the disaster;
sometimes betrays a gurgle
and bribed, then admitted last
a little joy. IDA
