The perches of the iconoclast
I don't know if this is the first book that Leire López Ziluaga has directed since she has become an editor of Susa. I don't know these internal editorial issues. Anyway, the edition had to be easy: Karlos Cid Abasolo is clear what it looks like to give each piece, what rhythm, what words to choose. He was a translator for Hasek, Holuben, Kunder.
It's natural. What seems hard is his tender way of doing poetry. And noble are his furores, pure his gaze: “They were left without yelling in the line,/ they were left without giving/ the strange kiss of yesterday evening so that it would not be emptied/ perhaps,/ to be filled with puddles/ the same.”
The writer also criticizes, such as the hybridism of language, the hybridism of culture – “would cut his neck,/ yes,/ porrusalda is made with leeks/ any Pharisees” – but it has a broad purpose, a multicultural intention, which brings us a taste now to Lisbon, now to Prague, against folklore but in favor of Euskaldunization.
In this work you will find a novice poet, a mature poet. At least it won't leave you indifferent. For the first time on these pages, I've found a writer who's writing on a paper, with that crazy point, who can't hide his emotions.
The tools it uses are irony and paradox, disrespect and revision of relatively well-known metaphors: “My hands will be cut off, and I will defend Pretty Woman with my arm.” All this makes The accomplices gestures a healthy, living, full of surprises and rich work. And all of that makes it all too obvious, excusable.
This book is a kind of game where the tallest projects and the most innocent eccentricities of poetry face each other: “If you did it/ to buy this book of poems/ a heroic gesture.” Karlos Cid Abasolo wants to see the number of birds that we have in our heads, is able to create material through everyday gestures, and is able to find the happiness that I can find. He writes to liberate, to fall in love. The thing is, there's a great way to liberate it, to fall in love.
