The unborn also exercise: We're 69 -- 69, not one. Speaking of Basque literature, in the pleistocene, for example. The dinosaur, the cat, the most realistic say, is waking up from its lethargy. Suddenly there is a certain José Anton Artze, who has collaborated with Zeruko Argian, who has dedicated his time to recovering the txalaparta in that ephemeris Ez dok; but who is a virgin among the books. And he takes out of Isturitz, so to speak, a thing called Tolosan barru. A new, novel, rupturistic thing in the uppercute reader's jaw. I do not say it myself, Juan San Martín in his book of the Sausage, taking the pulse to the time: “Because it’s not going to be easy to have such a

book.” We've classified it as a collection of poems, but it's actually something sweeter. The artistic object, in the words of Koldo Izagirre, collects a series of poems, yes, but it does so in a special, spectacular way, not only with texts to read, but also with eyes. The aesthetic is brave, the design depends on the poem, the collection, turning the book into a multiple scenario. And the book ends up being an adventure, I don't know if from Isturitz to Tolosa, but yes literary.

And not only in the aesthetic adventure, but also in poems new themes are given or themes are given from a new perspective, aggressive with current ideas, occasionally indecent, at short and lyrical intervals. And I will say: after reading the book, Txoria TXORI may not be one of the poems most achieved by Artze. Or, well, it's so mystified that it's already above good and evil -- and also below if it squeezes me. But beyond the poems that have been stuck in the popular imagination, the work Isturitzetik Tolosan barru offers us the opportunity to get to know a more complete Artze.

What once was an echo, did not fall in the winter of oblivion and remained in a state of dismemory? This oblivion aroused this 2007 edition, a facsimian edition, which respects the original in its conception. Get the unemployed back on the road. He opened the way to get back into the lane. Why not, to be able to make new readings from the present. And a professor who knows a lot about literature has quietly told me that Artze can calmly describe himself as a geek writer at the feet of today's reader. Be it. It may not be entirely false or totally bad. Not even those of us who were not born in the year 69 forget that reading makes the literary work live over time.
