Should You Wax Your Lip Before Of After Showering

2010: my literary year. Video

In short, it has been a good year. The most important was the publication of my poems Minimal Poetics in an excellent editorial, with an excellent catalog. Broken glass editions, published this year, classic poetry of the twentieth century, as Marinid Alda, WAS Merwin, Charles Simic, Ossip Mandelstam, William Wadsworth, Antonio Gamoneda, etc. Having had the honor of being the first Latin American author, English-speaking, to come out in this prestigious label.

With Broken Glass, signed Minimal copies of Poetics at the Madrid Book Fair, the stand of the library's Central, and we presented at the Museo Reina Sofía. In this collection have come out favorable reviews for English television 2 in the weekly Babelia, the daily El Pais, Madridpress, and various means of radio communication and writing. Between January and February 2011, are scheduled reviews in the newspapers ABC and El Mundo.

was also important to start with a varied selection of poetry, in the latest issue of Atlantic Magazine, perhaps the leading journal of poetry in Spain.

part in poetry recitals and presentations at the Association Writers and Artists of Spain, Fnac de Callao and Café Libertad 8. Just as I gave a lecture at the Faculty of Philology at the Complutense University on the anniversary of the poet Miguel Hernández. But in reality, there was a week that did not participate in poetry readings by different cultural institutions and literary pub Madrid.

In the now classic presentations of Hispanic New Poetry anthologies, consolidate two literary events, which had huge success in Madrid, such as, The Night of the Books and the White Night. Which took them out in the fashionable literary pub: the Blue Devils.

called also started the cycle, Madrid, New Literary Paris, with poets from five continents living in this city. Cycle that has left a beautiful virtual book, due out on 2011, the documentary film of the same name.

I interviewed in my section Aloud, the renowned English writer Carmen Posadas, Rosa Montero, Angela Vallvey, Eugenia Rico, Fernando Sanchez Drago, José Ángel Mañas, among others. News that has rebounded in major media, including English TV, newspaper El Mundo, The Bulletin of Latin American Writers in New York, The Journal Culturama, etc.

But out on the front page of daily Malasaña, I loved it. Why I feel part of this neighborhood, my neighborhood. And that was special to me. I see it as a more Madrid.

If all goes well, next year, I hope my novel edited out, we moved the film's actual poetry, put the lyrics for the CD of a rock band, among other projects.

We are in times of crisis and feel the punch. Yet, despite all the problems that are presented to one, I know I live my dream, to devote to writing. And most importantly, I have close friends who make me feel wrapped in this beautiful city called Madrid.

A hug and have fun at these parties.
