No quiso ser identificado como "analfabeto" ni "subnormal." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trabajaba como jardinero en un colegio católico; atravesaba la pequeña ciudad en bicicleta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(No lo conocí nunca; toda mi narración la he sacado de un texto escrito por su hermano.)  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los que lo encontraron supusieron que se había caído de la bici y lo llevaron, inconsciente, al hospital. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sus heridas, no obstante, eran más graves:  alguien lo había golpeado con saña, dejándolo por muerto.     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Murió sin haber recobrado la conciencia. Su hermano, con quién no había hablado en dos o tres años, estaba a su lado. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A cultured man, after a his own fashion, he belonged to all the Museum and Zoo associations of Northern California.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He would visit them by bus on weekends. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He owned hundreds of books, which he couldn't read.  He refused to be identified as "illiterate" or "retarded."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He worked as a gardener in a Catholic School; he crossed the small city on his bicycle.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(I never met him; I'm basing all this on what his brother wrote)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who found him assumed he'd fallen off his bike; they took him, unconscious, to the hospital.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His injuries, nevertheless, were more serious:  somehow had beaten him cruelly, leaving him for dead.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He died, never having regained consciousness; his brother, to whom he had not spoken in two or three years, was at his side. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4114992-108552224876008254?l=jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/108552224876008254'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/108552224876008254'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com/2004_05_01_archive.html#108552224876008254' title=''/><author><name>Jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09371893596402673898</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f1W9OnxMvdk/SUcGDtoItRI/AAAAAAAAAFc/Y3vEEgCTA5U/S220/100_0183.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114992.post-108517031835091205</id><published>2004-05-21T13:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2004-05-21T13:11:58.350-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Pertenezco a una nación de torturadores.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4114992-108517031835091205?l=jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/108517031835091205'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/108517031835091205'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com/2004_05_01_archive.html#108517031835091205' title=''/><author><name>Jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09371893596402673898</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f1W9OnxMvdk/SUcGDtoItRI/AAAAAAAAAFc/Y3vEEgCTA5U/S220/100_0183.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114992.post-108481914170495942</id><published>2004-05-17T11:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2004-05-17T11:45:32.596-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>¿Quién se atreve a aprender a dibujar una oreja humana?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¿Qué persona adulta?  ¿Y cómo pagaría &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;la multa de la rima?  ¿Quién se expondría así?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Que haya alcanzado la mayoría &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;de edad.

That doesn’t make me (them, us) any less odious.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am intelligent, but when I translate I stop being intelligent.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They hate me (secretly?) because I belong to the guild but denounce them, betray them at every step of the way.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4114992-200311676?l=jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/200311676'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/200311676'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com/2003_05_01_archive.html#200311676' title=''/><author><name>Jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09371893596402673898</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f1W9OnxMvdk/SUcGDtoItRI/AAAAAAAAAFc/Y3vEEgCTA5U/S220/100_0183.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114992.post-200308384</id><published>2003-05-18T14:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2003-05-18T14:10:36.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>5.  VARIACIONES SOBRE UN TEMA DE FANNY HOWE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No creo en Bob Dylan.  Otros sí creen en él.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me aburre el protestantismo.  A otros, en cambio, no les aburre tanto. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otros desprecian a los jóvenes, alegando su dogmatismo y su hipocresía.  Yo no los desprecio, con tal de que no me apedreen.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me gusta que las mujeres se pinten los labios.  A otros hombres, tal vez la mayoría, les da igual que las mujers se pinten los labios o no.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¿Harold Arlen?  Lo prefiero a Cole Porter.   Si tú prefieres a Cole Porter, llegaremos a ser buenos amigos.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VARIATIONS ON A THEME OF FANNY HOWE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't believe in Bob Dylan.  Others do.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Protestantism bores me.  Others don't find it quite so boring. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other people despise the young, pointing to their dogmatism and hypocrisy.  I don't despise them, provided they don't stone me.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like women to wear lipstick.  The majority of men don't care one way or another whether they wear lipstick or not.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harold Arlen?  I prefer him to Cole Porter.

El traductor, James Nolan, siente la necesidad de "mejorar" el texto.  Por ejemplo, traduce "escribir" con la palabra "scribble."  Añade referencias que no tienen nada que ver con la realidad española:  un fragmento de "America the Beautiful,"   "from sea to shining sea."  ¡Como si el imperialismo yanqui fuera otra versión del franquismo! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4114992-200126492?l=jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/200126492'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/200126492'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com/2003_04_01_archive.html#200126492' title=''/><author><name>Jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09371893596402673898</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f1W9OnxMvdk/SUcGDtoItRI/AAAAAAAAAFc/Y3vEEgCTA5U/S220/100_0183.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114992.post-200096987</id><published>2003-04-04T07:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2003-04-04T07:22:32.306-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Han desaparecido los blogs de Heriberto.

Más profesional, aunque igual de íntima.  Soy poeta de lengua inglesa aunque escriba en castellano.  Más precisamente, soy poeta de Nueva York (sin haber vivido allí jamás), de la escuela de Nueva York.  Que es un poco como ser poeta francés en lengua inglesa, salvo que la poesía francesa de New York es más cómica, más desenfadada.  No me gusta la poesía inglesa del siglo XX, salvo contadas excepciones.  Es otra lengua, otra tradición.  Me gusta, eso sí, la poesía inglesa del XVII.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La poesía cubana me apasiona, en Lezama Lima.  Lezama y Vallejo son los dos grandes del siglo pasado en hispanoamérica.  Neruda sería el tercero, supongo, entre los canónicos.  Yo no pondría otros nombres en la misma categoría, aunque me interesan muchos más.  Pizarnik, Montejo, María Auxiliadora Alvarez, Blanca Varela.  Como no soy especialista en la materia, puedo derivar más placer.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4114992-200050491?l=jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/200050491'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/200050491'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com/2003_03_01_archive.html#200050491' title=''/><author><name>Jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09371893596402673898</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f1W9OnxMvdk/SUcGDtoItRI/AAAAAAAAAFc/Y3vEEgCTA5U/S220/100_0183.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114992.post-200050424</id><published>2003-03-26T12:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2003-03-26T12:05:38.940-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Me he dedicado la mañana a trabajar en una solicitud de beca para viajar a España este verano.

Convierte a Lázaro, indiano anticlerical, a esta posición.  Este finge creer en la religión (igual que don Manuel) para dar al público el espectáculo teatral de una conversión ejemplar.  Lo disuade de formar un sindicato católico, utilizando las palabras de Marx.  La religión es el opio del pueblo; entonces démosle más opio.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unamuno, como intelectual público, se opone a la idea de que la función del intelectual es la de suscitar debate, inquietud.  Cuánto más inteligente se es (en esta novela) menos fe, más inquietud intelectual.  Destruir la fe religiosa, desde esta perspectiva, sería fomentar la infelicidad del hombre corriente y moliente, que necesita el consuelo.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Needless to say, la postura de Unamuno me da asco.  ¿Y si el hombre radicalmente normal leyera a Unamuno?  Entonces caería en la misma trampa.  Hipocresía o infelicidad.  De ahí que la Iglesia hizo bien en poner a Unamuno en su lista negra.  Si realmente creyera en  su propia postura, don Manuel (Miguel) de Unamuno quemaría su propia obra.  Pero no:  quiere hacerse el "intelectual" que se martiriza en la cruz de su propia inteligencia.  &lt;br /&gt;     &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4114992-200042650?l=jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/200042650'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/200042650'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com/2003_03_01_archive.html#200042650' title=''/><author><name>Jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09371893596402673898</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f1W9OnxMvdk/SUcGDtoItRI/AAAAAAAAAFc/Y3vEEgCTA5U/S220/100_0183.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114992.post-200039176</id><published>2003-03-24T14:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2003-03-24T14:08:44.603-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>He estado de vacaciones.

La antología como "ajuste de cuentas," como arma cargada de pasado.  Angel González dice que Valente tenía "complejo de número uno."  Guillermo Carnero dice que las antologías no las deben hacer los poetas, sino los estudiosos, etc...  Creo que la mayoría de las ausencias en esta antología son perfectamente justificables--la de Carnero no, desde luego.  La de González sí, e.m.h.o.   [imho].  ¿Hierro?  No sé.  Uno de los criterios sería:  si un lector mexicano me preguntara:  ¿tengo que leer a Angel González, a José Hierro, para entender la poesía española del siglo XX?  Yo diría que no, que aunque son escritores necesarios para el especialista académico, son perfectamente prescindibles.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4114992-90473818?l=jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/90473818'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/90473818'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com/2003_03_01_archive.html#90473818' title=''/><author><name>Jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09371893596402673898</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f1W9OnxMvdk/SUcGDtoItRI/AAAAAAAAAFc/Y3vEEgCTA5U/S220/100_0183.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114992.post-90421820</id><published>2003-03-07T10:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2003-03-07T10:57:56.670-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Por fin leo un libro auténtico de Heriberto Yépez, con una referencia a las traducciones de Bukowsky que dice, básicamente, que imaginarse al escritor  diciendo "gilipollas" [en la traducción castellana] es para morirse de risa.

Tal vez porque el otro se define en términos más amplios como "Jonathan Mayhew's Blog," mientras que éste se limita a un tema único.  De ahí que todos mis comentarios personales, mis respuestas a los blogs estadounidenses, quepan mejor en el otro formato.  De aquí en adelante voy a comentar de todo aquí, aunque lo que diga no tenga nada que ver con poesía en español.  Acabo de demostrar la existencia de Heriberto Yépez allá, cuando lo ideal hubiera sido hacerlo aquí.  No sé por qué.  La diferencia de público también influye:  tengo cinco veces más lectores en inglés, como era de esperar.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acabo de leer una separata de Guillermo Carnero, que contesta a un crítico que lo acusa de utilizar la diéresis en una palabra como "süave."  La acusación es absurda:  no es un defecto hacer lo que han hecho Garcilaso y Bécquer.  Sin embargo, gastar tanta tinta en contestar a un crítico tan necio también es absurdo.  ¿Quién discute de métrica hoy en día?  Por otra parte, la polémica es divertida por su mismo exceso.  Sólo la métrica puede generar una discusión literaria tan acalorada, porque se supone que es algo tan básico que el menor error sirve para descalificar al enemigo con dulce saña.   &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4114992-90417885?l=jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/90417885'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/90417885'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com/2003_03_01_archive.html#90417885' title=''/><author><name>Jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09371893596402673898</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f1W9OnxMvdk/SUcGDtoItRI/AAAAAAAAAFc/Y3vEEgCTA5U/S220/100_0183.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114992.post-90411356</id><published>2003-03-05T12:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2003-03-05T12:01:18.963-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>No aguanto el haiku de Issa, que escribe aproximadamente dos siglos después de Basho.

Todos quieren hablarme del ensayo sobre el duende de Federico García Lorca.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4114992-90350525?l=jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/90350525'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/90350525'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com/2003_02_01_archive.html#90350525' title=''/><author><name>Jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09371893596402673898</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f1W9OnxMvdk/SUcGDtoItRI/AAAAAAAAAFc/Y3vEEgCTA5U/S220/100_0183.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114992.post-90350187</id><published>2003-02-20T09:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2003-02-20T09:59:49.000-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Habría sido mejor inventar unas biografías apócrifas, como las de Suso de Toro.  ¡Qué decepcionante!

Nací en Boston en 1960, de una familia universitaria.  Mi padre fue profesor de sociología y después administrador universitario.  He vivido en varias "ciudades universitarias"  (college towns) del centro y del oeste del país.  Ann Arbor (de niño), West LaFayette, Columbus, Lawrence.  He crecido en el valle central de Alta California.  Estudié literature española en España y Literatura Comparada en la Universidad de Stanford, también en California.  Como poeta, soy casi inédito.  El blog "Jonathan Mayhew's Blog" me ha dado una identidad como poeta completamente espúrea.  Soy lector obsesionado de la poesía desde la edad de 11 años.  Colaboro con revista académicas especializadas de EEUU y España.  Soy, aunque parece mentira, un especialista bastante conocido de poesía española contemporánea.  Toco en batería pero no pertenezco a ningún conjunto musical en la actualidad.  Apasionado por el jazz.  Políticamente soy más bien de izquierdas pero odio la izquierda idiota.  Nunca he sido marxista.  Evidentemente soy burgués.  Bebo pero no fumo.  Me opongo, desde luego, a cualquier guerra en el Medio Oriente.  Soy bastante escéptico en casi todo.  Es posible que dios exista pero es imposible que sepamos nada al respecto.  Admiro a Wittgenstein.     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En cuanto a la literatura, soy partidario de los movimientos de vanguardia, sean las históricas o las actuales.  Admiro la escuela de LANGUAGE aunque no su afán de monopolizar el discurso de vanguardia.  Mantengo buenas relaciones con los poetas jóvenes de la Escuela de New York.  Soy incapaz de leer novelas, salvo las del OuLiPo.   ¿Algo más?  Soy a la vez modesto e inmodesto, reticente y gregario.  Soy aburrido, excepto para los que comparten mis obsesiones.  &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4114992-90346213?l=jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/90346213'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/90346213'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com/2003_02_01_archive.html#90346213' title=''/><author><name>Jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09371893596402673898</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f1W9OnxMvdk/SUcGDtoItRI/AAAAAAAAAFc/Y3vEEgCTA5U/S220/100_0183.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114992.post-90346008</id><published>2003-02-19T14:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2003-02-19T14:33:57.240-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>El susurro de unos cepillos de alambre sobre la piel del recuerdo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;converso con las sombras, boxeo, gesticulo en las sombras&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;el recuerdo ya no es esa piel de tambor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ya no es de piel, podría ser el "cincuentón obeso"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;de Cernuda, el "conviene percutir" de José Angel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;es un aforismo ingente, atrabiliario, repetido hacia la saciedad&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;en la compulsión de hurgar en las sombras de alambre  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aquí empieza la nueva serie de falsos poemas mexicanos.

Poesía métrica la han escrito la mayoría de los poetas más canónicos, aunque no de forma exclusiva:  Borges, Paz, Neruda, Lezama Lima, Jorge Guillén, Aleixandre, Miguel Hernández, Lorca, Gil de Biedma, Claudio Rodríguez.  Incluso el "verso libre" de estos poetas suele ser verso métrico disfrazado.  ¿Cuántos alejandrinos se pueden encontrar en las odas elementales de Neruda?  Muchísimos, aunque la tipografía los oculta.  El verso libre de Vicente Aleixandre no dista mucho de la silva de Garcilaso de la Vega.   Suele ser la combinación armónica de versos de 7, de 9 y de 11 sílabas.  Si esto es así, ¿por qué quejarse del desuso del verso?  El versículo fuertemente rítmico de Gamoneda puede ser tan "biológico" como un soneto de Gerardo Diego, otro vanguardista que pronto se convirtió en poeta de verso métrico.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4114992-90315298?l=jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/90315298'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4114992/posts/default/90315298'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jonathanmayhew2.blogspot.com/2003_02_01_archive.html#90315298' title=''/><author><name>Jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09371893596402673898</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f1W9OnxMvdk/SUcGDtoItRI/AAAAAAAAAFc/Y3vEEgCTA5U/S220/100_0183.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114992.post-90313077</id><published>2003-02-12T07:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2003-02-12T07:51:14.713-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Mi traducción de "Paisaje con pájaros amarillos" (Valente) se encuentra en "Jonathan Mayhew's Blog."
