Call for submission
Spring is usually a promise of a cold winter nose that can come after the landing, and has been annotated several times for sleep. Promise, however, is never a safe spring in a ruined terrain. Not at least if we are talking about change or, in particular, revolution. Maddi Sarasua Laskarai (Itsasu, 1995) clearly works in the collection of poems Biharraren hegiak (May,2024) which he has just published for this purpose. He wanted to align these lines “for readers to call you upon awakening / stories to write the story.” The 61 poems that make up the book have been divided into
three parts. The poems of the Catez section have in the word the chains that have come to this day: both those who unite us and those who have liberated, those who have emerged voluntarily. Both the cycle changes and the intergenerational gaps discussed in it go through the entire book, adding that the core of the collection is the political will of those who will “stop
talking about this world”. Footings with holes talk about those who come closest to everyday life, among them the environments of the times when the burden of paid work can be found, the beds under bridge and other raw truths, but also the doubts and ailments that seem more intimate. The morning is the time to claim what is possible, as proof of the efforts of those striving: small red flowers in the wrinkled hands compromised.
Sarasua brings to his pages several authors in search of new meanings for what we have today between recognition and rewriting. It also expresses what some of the poems have emerged as a result of a specific event or act: poetry does not have to be limited to the soleties of the class. Poetic writing is moderate, and both rhymes and repetitions of sounds offer the reader delicious melodies and rhythms. A
Gopegui can be read that freedom is not, perhaps, to decide where we are going, but to choose where we are, that we want to go to try to go where we have been able to learn. And that's what Sarasua brings us on the pages: a mare, after all, so that we can see it away with our eyes and start walking.
