En la cola de Correos, un hombre solo. Ni por asomo: un escritor nunca está solo. En su cabeza encresta diálogos consigo mismo y con toda aquella que se cruza entre sus orejas, tiene a bien trenzar neuronas y acepta la invitación a dar otra vuelta de tuerca a las peculiaridades del lenguaje, a las maldiciones y milagros de las lenguas y a los infinitos recreos y abismos que la literatura posibilita y sugiere. ¿Y si hablar, leer y escribir no fueran...

What do the phrases "pro-life," "intelligent design," and "the war on terror" have in common? Each of them is a name for something that smuggles in a highly charged political opinion.

Diamond BeeKeepers Presentation
Diamond BeeKeepers is an experimental collection of poems that explores the ritualization of spontaneity. It tests the limits of logic and assonance to find the transcendental meaning behind sound forming, at least seeking a new meaning, deeper than the preestablished notions of the daily use of words.
