Words Americo Martin on the poetry of Francisco Alarcón, Caracas-Venezuela. THREE POEMS




Exegesis
Americo Martin

I can not find the poetry of this profound and prolific poet without immediately feel a wave of transparency and authenticity. Solitude and Other Poems is a quiet volcano to ratify the essential feature of the writer: his full commitment to work, every verse to every word. On another occasion he defined it as natural that the author's identification with the writing, to use the allegory of the centaur, the close coexistence of the intellectual and the spontaneous, human and animal.
I mention "authenticity" to mean "transparency" and "naturalness" because Francis did not need gravel to express themselves, do not complete a poem inside a forced rhyme or a suitable word. It's like a stream through which the words are flowing.
not too many poets can express so clearly their passions and their mood fluctuations. One of them, Rafael Cadenas, he did, probably unintentionally, in a fairly major work entitled "Defeat." And indeed was a man who at that time felt isolated and defeated and all throbbing in the miracle of his verses.
Solitude and Other Poems is the same strain. Neither the issues nor the verses are the result of an effort of reflection but drops of a storm. The loneliness is unpleasant Francisco, is painful. It is an oppressive chain and not a comfortable escapism.
feel the chill of loneliness
worse than death,
no directions, no agora, no luck

The theme of death is not new to the poet, the new is the way to treat it. " Always new and always old, "as the sun Shakespeare sonnet, death is the favorite companion of the poetic journey of Francisco. Sometimes fate is felt as sweet, others observed there as a natural occurrence, but in Solitude and Other Poems is an overwhelming threat, is almost as terrible as loneliness itself. The death leaves no escape and eventually makes its inexorable object of desire as the people who end up loving their tyrants, as the desperate Orwell classic.

But death comes in due time, in the final minute
Without asking anything in return, or the family or the body, so there
Cargo loaded as life leaves him naked and once also
I bring the world a sweeter be integrity.


So I wait for me, for you, for it would be if you
do not you take charge of
Garbage compassionately perhaps, a body that has not expired and you move and I appreciated Thanks
death for having us always present .

love Is Francis a liberating force, a destination of peace? You and I
In what is certainly, but we soon found that the delivery of the lovers is a tension force, is explosive, almost terminal, and in that sense no longer connected with loneliness and death, the essential issues of the work.
Two more words about the author. Francisco is the poem. His most traumatic relationship with his environment, triggered by the steps of a very close and dear to his death, fully discharged in the work that gives us the editorial Vismar. If ever was a centaur, at this point in his life and touch the sky creation of the species.
