Berta
Talking is talking about writing. Surprisingly the biography of this young poet from Valencia, the number of verses behind her abominations
Bunch (2008), Night club girls
applied (2009), Strawberry and wound
(2011, forthcoming) and Introduction
all (2011), the latter recently published by Award
IV Youth Poetry Award "Pablo García Baena" organized by Warsaw
Beauty. Berta
studied political science and economics-what boring, poets, philologists, a successful test of tremendous versatility who exercises in writing poetry, but also stories, essays and plays, in fact, has been awarded recently at the Theatre Festival XIII At least Rafael Guerrero, with the mini-short work
Antigone in the Journal of Patricia .
The structure of his last poems, he reveals: 'Introduction to autofiction. " Berta
open the map and began a ground search. She speaks of poetry as an archaeological fact. But this look lonely, it is also interesting, compared to the writing process of many poets, who in his poetry proves
Berta reader aware that he attends, his presence there on the other hand, their listening and necessary . Lie behind his lines, the millimeter studied, a voice that speaks to the reader in search of his knowing look, a gesture.
And in that sense, we see already in the first poem of the book,
Berta is a student applied, or at least recognizes the value of their teachers: Luis Alberto de Cuenca, Felix Grande, Gonzalez ... but Sylvia Plath, or the role of philosophy.
However, the fact for her poetry is simple. Far from concerts, show business, Berta
is a close friend of the moment of creation, the cathartic ritual of wielding a pen-and-key sort patiently vital momentum that I feel does not let go. Perhaps that is why, for his dedication to poetry in his poems we see a tremendous insight. In other poems:
... if one thing I've learned / is that there are things that can only be understood over time ...
... as too unpleasant to be aware ...
... the final verse / arrive just before die ...
Berta is also multifaceted, is capable of loving "endless, contradictory or cumulatively." A sort of visceral understanding, as I said, sometimes vulnerable. For this reason it is more exposed to the discretion of the disappointment that some skepticism is disappointed, but poetry helps put things in place. The presence of sex, heartbreak, love, on which a section of the book is set in a real life poetry, a kind of Tom Petty
. Repentance:
'
Maquillo me like a whore (luckily I
glimpse in the mirror of the elevator and go up penitent
ran to wash my face)
do not, disappointment often appears in a book of poems young but in all its forms, but appears here and not as an unwanted guest traveling companion irremediable. An eternal return to love, to weakness, to life: 'Introduction to believe in love. " Berta
also in solitude, but solitude is not distressed but patient observer. We see already in the appointment of one of the poems:
Nobody ever nothing is constant me (Carlos Edmundo de Ory):
I already know-that-
'm on the prowl, looking for warmth and
light Berta
In most unique images are part of a device that explodes at the end of the poem when the reader's voice and nod at the same time.

Introduction is a book built in memory and built a happy future imperfect. If there is something admirable about a poet is his sincerity, his authenticity to the time to recognize the vulnerable existence, the eternal learning. Introduction
all is a tough book, honest ... is a fruitful dialogue, almost platonic, but fortunately not pretentious, is not so full responses and conclusions. Responses in the verse itself in the delivery of the right word at the right time. Your participation in Cosmopoética, through Cordoba, has fallen in love, has left us wanting to "more
Berta." For now, the best solution is 'pushed all' in their latest collection of poems.
(When we asked who would present the poems of Faet Berta Garcia, a winner of the IV Youth Poetry Award "Pablo García Baena", do not hesitate: we sense the connection between his poems and those of Juanma Prieto . He has given us now the text read in presentation, April 5 at the Library Luque ... The picture is of Lola Araque and we won the flickr of Cosmopoética ).
