few months ago, through the writer Mariana Bernardez, I met Miguel Angel Calleja, the editor in charge of Parentalia is dedicated to bringing together the disparate poetic kindred of Mexico in a series of plaquettes by authors as diverse as Pura Lopez Colome and Raymundo Ramos, Aurelio Asiain and Efraín Bartolomé, Elsa Cross and Eduardo Langagne. When he invited me to give myself some work, I thought it best to propose republish The cycling classic, the first collection of poems published and 350 copies were made for more than twenty years.
This little book, released in August 1990, was part of the Journal Malinalco who edited Luis Mario Schneider, one of the essential research of Mexican poetry of the last century, who had the good fortune to meet and talk. As this week I spent a couple of hours editing the new edition, it seemed a good idea to share with readers in the breeze century some of its pages. I expressed elsewhere ( http://bit.ly/gkHWh6 ) that I am interested in any can read this page and so occasionally I would make comments to literary texts, as I do now . Who feel no interest, need or curiosity to read the notes that precede each text, which is the jump: how to check immediately, in fact, not needed.
1. A picture sent from Leeds London
Several times I have spoken to my friend Nattie Golubov, last only a fortnight ago ( http://bit.ly/hh6mG9 ) - and almost always for reasons related to his inspiring personality. In the mid-eighties, Nattie studied an MA in English at the University of Leeds, where I wrote letters full of brilliance and poetry that provoked some texts and classics Cycling . So it is not uncommon in the brief shows that public today is present on two occasions.
One day he sent me a photo of Big Ben in London on the back, above the caption feature photographic company watermark reproduced as he wrote the name of the place from which it came. Posted this fun, she gave me a copy of the famous poem of Wordsworth , "Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802."

2. An unprecedented twenty years suasive
This text was ready in mid-1990 to form part of Cycling and classic but for some reason, I do not understand two decades later, decided to drop out . Twenty years later does not seem worse or better than those who did see the light of what I take to integrate the new edition to the series.
Although written verse cuts imitated with some American poets read in the editions of Hugo Gola or recommended by Roberto Tejada, always made with intent rhythmic, this work is a kind of suasive speech copied the classics dedicated to a young man I met in reality . The word "countersink", by the way, I read a poem from the Golden Age, but not mean age.

3. A poem written to order
Seated at the table during the celebration that followed a civil wedding, Alberto Kalach asked me one afternoon in the late eighties still acceptable if the writers write custom. I hastened to answer yes. As in those days was by birth of her first son, Marco, my architect friend called me a text that would celebrate the fact, what we agreed to a cash payment, too, at my request, a few words to serve as a starting point, and Alberto improvised on the fly, "ship", "arch", "bevel" and "Cobalt".
The result, although in the genre of poetry as the poem above, is a tribute to the poet Gonzalo Rojas, whom I always read with admiration ( http: / / bit.ly/98pOi3 ).

4. Roughness and misfortunes of a real journey
The many letters I received from Nattie from England made the image of Queen Elizabeth II, invariably played on the stamps, a daily presence on my desk. One day I seemed to notice behind his royal indolence, a face that I explained by calculating the long hours of travel and abuse that should be submitted, unless it caused the real monarch, by the postal workers two countries. Also without doubt an inherent roughness of character hidden in my presence with all education . The story is told from the point of view of a groom the gender of the polite, that came with it.
The text appeared in the November 1990 issue of the journal Back , in announcing the Nobel prize for his flamboyant director, Octavio Paz, with a couple of misprints (one of them, inexplicable) that it would for a future post .

5. History falsely Ovidian metamorphosis
often joked that Isolde, which as good Persian was rich in fur and meat, was jack rabbit before. Seen from certain angles, it seemed yet. One day I decided and put in writing that release of citing a droll things change.
This text penultimate Cycling and classic, originally appeared in the December 1989 issue of the journal The University who ran Gonzalo Celorio and edited Pancho Hinojosa.
