The view of earthlings has long attracted mystery and questioning, nocturnal guardians of reflections and dreams, destinations of literary travel, origin of myths and metaphors, objective of spatial confrontation, core of accepted or annulled hypotheses, sister of the earth and rival and solar complement. Moon: flour or wax. The book Mare: ilargiari poems edited by editorial 1545 gathers what is written to this only satellite of the Earth. For a stone it is curious what has come to us at the initiative of the brothers Eneko and Xabi Salaberria: the jewel.
On the Moon we can see at the naked eye more bright and darker parts. Although we know that there is no water up there today, astronomers once believed that the big parts were marshes, bays, lakes, seas and oceans, so they were designated and we still call them. These are dozens of poems written both to some of them and to their suggestive adjectives, to which the Moon has exposed, and to conflicts that reject immediate understanding. And that is that, for the same duration as translation and rotation movements, the moon always shows one face: so it has brought light and darkness, knowledge and ignorance. And half wrong, because as poems claim, “They can be spaces without mysteries/boring.”
The Bay of Loyalty, the Lake of Oblivion, the Sea of Desire, the Ocean of Storms… 29 poets from all over the world, with their own languages, images, meanings and scriptures. In the book, the reader will find different ways to look at what looks at us. In addition to the moon poems, the artifact consists of illustrations, a scientific, philosophical and literary prologue, an article summarizing the trajectory of Basque poetry and a song. This book is a seed that has been created with the aim of landing in the hands of young people and awakening new worlds, and that aims to awaken in young people the desire to write poetry, and perhaps that is why some seas have remained unwritten, waiting to create new moon poets.
