Missing and passing

  • A happy party Beñat Arginzoniz City, 2013
In the book Beñat Arginzoniz wishes us healthy and plastic images: “The pelotari, as if he were a priest of the moon, represents the dance of life, the dance of chance, through his game. The pelotaris dance without sticking, filling the air with the bush.” The agility of the ball, of clean play and of the joke, of the rich sport of red and blue belts, is widely used in poetry. I would say that it is not the intention of this tiny book to make poetry to the highest, but I thought it was a delicious reading of the old posters and the old thoughts of the game. The city has introduced the narrative into the work, and I have no judgment to classify it like this. Through these pages, nice and kind things, and the aesthetic feelings they produce, are in all their splendor. It's a prose. Es poesía.En internet is attributed to

Beñat Arginzoniz The voices of nothingness (2002), Water for the Dead (2009, a biography similar to Jabi Subversion X) and Poetic manifesto and other writings (2010), but we did not know your artistic opinion: “Poetry has always been written, it’s a way of being in the world, and yet one hundred poems are written and only a few are successful in communicating them. The rest is usually needed at the time, but then they can be completely discarded.” And also in this case, there are many highlights that don't touch, most of them,

but also some hits that are nice to the eye. The Basque ball game is guided by a kind of aesthetic lens, and although it is not at its best now, they have enjoyed from Manila to Tampa the sport of bringing the ball to the wall with edermine.Cuando the writer begins to philosophize, the reader feels invaded by

a dèjá-vu 100% Basque, by the heavy feeling of having read the same idea a thousand times. There is no one here who does not say so by Oteiza.

But, I mean, Arginzoniz never gets an economic writing, an emotional writing, but not a heavy one. Sometimes the ball’s path is “seen”, surrounded by space – fronton – and actors – pelotaris. Among the topics, therefore, one can also find originality. The philosopher has come out in the middle of this crazy world and when he has tried to do philosophy he has not succeeded. With descriptive poetry, though, I've been caught by the plateau.
