Pictured: Manuel Marticorena
A collection of poems, wind oblivion (Iquitos, 1998), and an author, Manuel Marticorena Quintanilla (born in Arma-Huancavelica), suddenly opened the door to a different sensitivity to the poetry novel and Amazon. First, because the benchmark for the entire Andean poems is embedded in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. Which is important to note when you consider that most local writers have tried, from magic, folklore, indigenous coastal or imagery to express a feeling or an Amazon ID. Manuel Marticorena Andean insurja from the perspective seems to derive, rather, a literary criteria but not regional. It does not describe the rainforest. Do not try to theorize about the characters in the Amazonian man and his alleged criminality. And do not talk, in short, on this region which lies lavish and warm. But their feeling about the jungle is there, it beats other places describing emerges timidly with other faces and other names. Memory poetry or song of nostalgia. The truth is that Marticorena glance at the memory of friends, family and landscapes of Arma, his hometown. The cold air of the Andes is apparent from simple images. And the warmth that envelops everything. And the heartfelt pleas for justice. Behold common topics from a first reading. But if composition remember Armando Almeida time, we mentioned that Amazon opened for poetry another sensibility, another breath. Coastal and rural referents come, now, the universe farmer Marticorena, and come together in one voice, perhaps in one sense. Forget wind allows the continuity of this experience, which are not absent poets like Charles Fuller and Eleazar Huansi. Popular poetry, certainly. But beautiful poetry. Refer to realities but to express a feeling Andean Amazon may seem an awkward statement. However, beyond the platitudes and chauvinistic bets, it is not. Moreover if we find that the experiences that the poet is not interested in urban or tourist, but the marginal farmers and those in coastal, with whom lived many years before settling as a professor in Iquitos. Manuel Marticorena has been able to compare, differentiate and establish similarities and affinities. Poetry Andes into the jungle, why not? Or is nature poetry Andean Amazon. In any event, a poetry that combines the noblest sentiments of men with warm tenderness of the creative word.
