Cumpliendo con mi oficio
piedra con piedra, pluma a pluma,
pasa el invierno y deja
sitios abandonados,
habitaciones muertas:
yo trabajo y trabajo,
debo substituir
tantos olvidos,
llenar de pan las tinieblas,
fundar otra vez la esperanza.

No es para mí sino el polvo,
la lluvia cruel de la estación,
no me reservo nada
sino todo el espacio
y allí trabajar, trabajar,
manifestar la primavera.

A todos tengo que dar algo
cada semana y cada día,
un regalo de color azul,
un pétalo frío del bosque,
y ya de mañana estoy vivo
mientras los otros se sumergen
en la pereza, en el amor,
yo estoy limpiando mi campana,
mi corazón, mis herramientas.

Tengo rocío para todos.

Just finished "Mortal y rosa" by my boi Umbral. Shit was dope. About to read some Aleixandre's poems now.
Does any other hispanic litizen know about Jesús G. Maestro?

I'm reading it atm, on Scene VIII of Jornada Tercera. It has become one of my favorite plays/books of all time. It's soooo good.

I have only seen in performance El mayor monstruo del mundo, which I thought was very good. You may also want to read La hija del aire, El alcalde de Zalamea and El gran teatro/mercado del mundo, which I hear are his best plays.

the last book i read last semester in college was La Virgen de los Sicarios by Fernando Vallejo.
a short novel but really intense and raw; it got some homosexual tone in it, but the violence it describes overheights any homo-discourse you could get fixed about. anyway.
i'm study spanish and latin american lit so during summer i read english or french literature. right now i'm thru Marlowe's plays. Mostly just 'cause Dr. Faustus, but King Edward The Second is turning really great.

I have read both El Llano en Llamas and Pedro Paramo and enjoyed them (the former more than the latter). But i have no references for El Gallo de Oro. What do you think about it?

Why not just read it and watch the film? It's short and it's Rulfo. You shouldn't need any more insentives.

One thing isn't incompatible with the other, you know. Everybody always take for granted that someone requesting reviews won't experience the thing for himself.
