HECHO SOCIAL TOTAL

Julián Bejarano

Poesía entrerriana, 2023

ISBN 978-987-4430-30-4

76 páginas

Como un insomne que se sienta en la oscuridad a ver televisión hasta quedarse dormido, como un bot defectuoso inundando la sección de comentarios de un diario digital, el poema repite el vocabulario de los medios, pero invierte el efecto de esa repetición: donde los discursos de odio, las fake news y el lobby empresarial hacen de la reproducción una fuente de poder, la escritura vuelve a pasar por las palabras para desarmar su sentido en combinaciones impensadas. Hecho social total es un libro político ante todo porque construye un modo de escuchar y leer los discursos que nos hablan, y de este modo no pide ni pregona una transformación, sino que la efectúa en el lenguaje mismo del poema. Ana Rocío Jouli

Julián Bejarano nació en 1983. Vive en Paraná, Entre Ríos.

(via Love To Hammer Hate)

Love To Hammer Hate

End, pray, races gait to hate!

Bury this tool that pounds to dead silence.

Fear catapults anger to violent change.

Mild/meek sheep flip Jekyll, then Hyde--Deranged.

Yes, oppression produces deep malice.

Cause wasteful war, though many pine for love.

Why shame hearts beating for love? Is not this a distorted mirror--Hate? Does not unearthed envy lead to malice? Why humanity's rush to graves' silence? Should blind bats scare us to thinking deranged? What will inspire bull-like actions to change?

A cultivated vine in bloom brings change.

Soft scents inhaled incite us to spread love.

Bouquets of peace mellow sighs of deranged.

Overturn the packed soil of wicked hate.

Unstop ears of apathetic silence.

Birds chirp; fly freely; not clipped in malice.

Propaganda enflames, as coal, malice.

Diverts the cooling rains of thirsty change.

Confines the coos of doves to complete silence.

Ices soothing warmth of brotherly love.

Derides and divides till earth rocks in hate.

Till terror reigns through puppeteers deranged.

Will peace capture the hearts of the deranged? Can jealousy surrender its malice? Does forgiveness derail pride's passage to hate? Should ignorance prevent bigotry's change? Will the earth rediscover real love? Or will violence purchase trust's silence?

Love will pummel hate to a grateful silence.

The earth freed from hostage to brains deranged.

Exploitation unarmed by justice; love.

No ethnic barriers--mounts of malice.

Agape love to transport laid-over change.

War subjugated to graveyard of hate.

Sweet silence to war songs sang in

malice

.

Swaddle the deranged for overdue

change

.

Love our enemies; emasculate

hate

.

Contest: I liked the word sestina before I knew what it was. The few I read intrigued me with their oddly obsessive character. By the time I got around to trying one I was hooked and doomed, as I am not normally inclined to rigid forms, but when I do attempt them, I like to use the original version of the form, in this case credited to Arnaut Daniel in the 12th Century. Please write a sestina, any subject, following Arnaut Daniel's form. The rules seem extremely rigid and complex at first glance, but I hope you will find, as I did, that there is tremendous freedom inside those rules. Good luck. Here is a wiki page explaining the form: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sestina Here is a sestina I wrote using that form: http://allpoetry.com/poem/12012719-To-Build-A-Bonfire----Sestina--by-Andrew-Sano Stanza 1 Stanza 2 Stanza 3 Stanza 4 Stanza 5 Stanza 6 1 A 6 F 3 C 5 E 4 D 2 B 2 B 1 A 6 F 3 C 5 E 4 D 3 C 5 E 4 D 2 B 1 A 6 F 4 D 2 B 1 A 6 F 3 C 5 E 5 E 4 D 2 B 1 A 6 F 3 C 6 F 3 C 5 E 4 D 2 B 1 A The sixth stanza is followed by a tercet that is known variably by the French term envoi, the Occitan term tornada,[5] or, with reference to its size in relation to the preceding stanzas, a "half-stanza".[7] It consists of three lines that include all six of the line-endings words of the preceding stanzas. This should take the pattern of 2–5, 4–3, 6–1 (numbers relative to the first stanza); the first end-word of each pair can occur anywhere in the line, while the second must end the line.[33] However, the end-word order of the envoi is no longer strictly enforced.[34]

NYO - Il nuovo singolo “E poi ci penso”

Il brano del cantautore sugli stores digitali dal 9 febbraio nelle radio

“E poi ci penso” è il nuovo singolo dell’artista e cantautore NYO, sui principali stores digitali e dal 9 febbraio nelle radio in promozione nazionale. Produzione impeccabile dagli arrangiamenti attuali e di tendenza, che evidenziano la forte personalità dell’artista, figlia di una maturità artistica raggiunta e ben strutturata. Melodie vincenti che entrano in testa sin dal primo ascolto, su cui viaggia l���interpretazione vocale di NYO, sentita e autentica che dona al tutto un forte impatto emotivo.

“E poi ci penso” è nato da una riflessione personale sulla parola incomunicabilità. Molto spesso, all’interno di una relazione, abbiamo difficoltà a comunicare tra di noi. Per la sola paura di lasciarsi andare creiamo blocchi mentali che non ci permettono di vivere a pieno le nostre emozioni. In realtà questa incapacità di stabilire un rapporto con gli altri nasce dalla mancanza di una conoscenza di se stessi che, inevitabilmente, porta ad isolarci.

Educația mea

Nu se sțiu multe despre educație mea din copilărie, dar un lucru este clar, am fost un copil deosebit. Studiam gramatica și eram la curent cu literatura în latină, mergeam la școala bisericii, dar eram educat și acasă. În tinerețe analizam poezia tuscană și admiram operele poetului bolongnez Guido Guinizelli, pe care l-am descris ca pe un tată în „Purgatoriu”.

Totodată am descoperit și poeți occitani cum ar fi Arnaut Daniel și scriitori latini ai antichității clascie, de exemplu Cicero, Ovid și în special Virgil.

Steel: A Sestina

Some days I'll own our game feels less than real,

When rattan seems a stick and not a sword,

And armor too light, if I'm any judge.

Our sports gear would seem dross to William Marshal,

So some dare eschew such clubs for blades of steel;

With metal test your mettle as they do!

This lauded list gives every man his due;

Though blades are dull, the blows still feel so real.

So win a share of honor none can steal-

Let praises ring then from a valiant sword

On crested helm and all war gear so martial;

Just dance one measure, then you be the judge!

All blows are counted by the sharp-eyed judge

Who watches all that hands and hearts may do-

So hold your courage high, attend the marshal,

And thank the Lord your armor is all real,

To turn aside the blows of arm and sword

That, were they sharp, your life away might steal!

In olden days were tourneys fought with steel?

So books and scholars tell, and so I judge,

In shining days when soul and spirit soared,

And names were won that years cannot undo.

Let's forge our honor's Eden, by Gadreel,

Ringed around with ropes and all things martial!

A moment, pray, while arguments I marshal

In praise of blades and kit of burnished steel.

I promise you, you'll find the joy surreal

If ever you are brave enough to judge,

So step into this list as we all do;

Lay your stick aside; here, use my sword!

Though I'll admit you may leave bruised and sored,

You'll soon return, I know, to this work martial,

So hold you honor dear as heroes do,

And let us build cathedrals out of steel!

So leave aside you play plaisance, oh do,

To find a dance outrance, a warrior's reel!

So take a shining sword of ringing steel,

And find yourself a marshal, foe, and judge-

To give this form its due, it feels more real!

~Morien

(Notes: William Marshal, First Earl of Pembroke (1146-1219), was a crusader, tourney champion, leader of armies and counselor to kings, and is considered one of the greatest knights to have ever lived. Gadreel was the angel set to guard the Garden of Eden from evil forces.  Tourneys a plaisance were fought with weapons of wood, whalebone, or other materials meant to make them safer.  Tourneys  outrance were fought with the steel weapons of war.)

Sestinas are a Troubadour verse form developed in the Thirteenth Century by Arnaut Daniel.  They consist of six six-line stanzas in which each iambic pentameter line ends with one of six carefully selected key words, and ends with a three-line envoi (tornada) including all six keywords.  The words must be used in a strict and ever-changing order controlled by an algorithm known as "Arnaut's Wheel".   The six keywords in this example are: “Real”, “Sword”, “Judge”, “Marshal”, “Steel”, and “Do”.

[eresia-catara]

Thinking how Dante in Purgatorio celebrates Arnaut Daniel as the best poet, Arnaut who walked in a ring of fire to expiate his disordered love and whose style was a trobar clus, it was obscure, the same way Guido, who talked about a disordered love, was celebrated as a poet both in De Vulgari Eloquentia and Purgatorio and especially for the quality of his language which was obscure and elitst something something Arnaut like a purified Guido something something Guido's presence amongst the lustfuls something something Guido's presence right before Virgil disappears like a generational change from Arnaut-Guido-Virgil to Dante

As ants, in their dark company, will touch their muzzles, each to each, perhaps to seek news of their fortunes and their journeyings.

Dante and Virgil come to the shore of Purgatory at dawn, and once more start to climb. Dante learns of challenges he has yet to face, and rediscovers a love he’d thought lost forever.

Loveliness which, even as we climb the steps of this eternal palace, blazes with more brightness; were it not tempered here, would be so brilliant that, as it flashed, your mortal faculty would seem a branch a lightning bolt has cracked.

Virgil returns to Limbo. Dante prepares to meet his Maker.

“Il miglior fabbro”

Por vezes, no meio do caminho da vida, perdemos o rumo certo que vínhamos trilhando. Foi o que aconteceu com Dante... e o que também aconteceu comigo, de certa forma — por sorte, antes dos 35. Dante também não soube explicar muito bem como, mas, com o tremendo sono que o assolava naquele dia, acabou adentrando uma tal selva obscura.

Às vezes é só o que se precisa pra que a gente se perca: um pequeno cochilo.

É claro que não sofro a penca de pendengas que o florentino sofreu quando teve que se exilar da cidade que tanto amava, mas não é menor a sensação de que a trilha desapareceu de meus pés.

Ao começar minha leitura da Divina Comédia (uma das obras seminais para a monografia que estou escrevendo), primeiro senti um cansaço: só a parte que antecede o poema já me havia rendido cerca de dez páginas de enumerações de nomes e afins (não à toa, a enciclopédia de Richard Lansing conta com 1035 páginas). Depois, curiosamente, o frescor do texto foi me dando um ânimo que só os clássicos conseguem proporcionar. Não nego que o texto tenha seu grau de dificuldade. Sempre que me vem a dúvida e as notas de rodapé não são suficientes, consulto a outra edição de que disponho, cotejo, pesquiso... por vezes não encontro mesmo a solução. Não esmoreço porque sei que muito até hoje ainda é um embate até mesmo para os mais experientes dantólogos.

A Comédia jamais será plenamente compreendida, em todos os seus mínimos detalhes. E são justamente esses momentos que tanto nos fascinam: cada vírgula que permanece insondável para a compreensão humana torna-se um ponto geográfico no livro. É como um ponto pouco conhecido na Terra, uma mata desconhecida pela qual passamos. É como ir a um museu e nos depararmos com um artefato, um objeto misterioso e de brilho próprio.

Qual a sensação de ler e não entender o significado de algo para nós que sempre imaginamos que a resposta para todas as dúvidas eram as palavras? Ninguém no mundo, ao longo de toda a história, conseguiu asseverar o significado das palavras de Pluto, o demônio que alegoriza o dinheiro, e que aguarda nas portas do quarto círculo:

“Pape Satàn, pape Satàn aleppe!”

É terror o que sentimos quando vemos na página o grito do gigante Nimrode, e não só a nossa impotência é ridícula, como também a do tradutor que (mon semblable, – mon frère!) deu o seu máximo e, não havendo resolução, optou por manter o verso como fora escrito na estranha língua que constava no texto original:

“Raphèl maì amècche zabì almi”

E assim, o desespero de Dante torna-se o nosso. Resta especular, e por séculos é o que temos feito.

Afora isso, devo dizer que, quanto mais leio a Comédia, mais pareço reencontrar os rumos de volta para a trilha da qual me afastei, que me levará para a civilização, para muito longe da barbárie dos danados do Inferno.

Mas o termo que mais me afagou o coração ao descobrir que provém da comédia foi Il miglior fabbro, “o melhor artesão”. É assim que T. S. Eliot se refere a Ezra Pound e é assim que este se referia àquele. Mas antes mesmo que Pound utilizasse o termo, foi Dante quem o cunhara em seu sacro poema, ao referir-se ao poeta Arnaut Daniel. A esse Dante chamou de miglior fabbro del parlar materno (o melhor artífice do falar materno).

São exemplos como esse que me tiram um pouco da inércia. É uma pena Arnaut Daniel estar no Inferno de Dante por conta da sodomia que praticava. Uma pena também que sua obra não tenha sobrevivido com a mesma força que a de Dante, ainda que o poeta teça a ele elogios que não teceu às qualidades de escrita de nenhum outro que figura na obra.

Mas são exemplos de vidas como as de Arnaut Daniel, Dante, Ezra Pound e T. S. Eliot que nos motivam a querer ser, talvez não Il miglior entre os fabbros, mas pelo menos lembrar que há trabalho a ser feito e muito ainda a ser tentado. Sonhar é bom, e tentar é um bom caminho para os vivos.
