Overview
«Mi poesía está aquí, como nació -sin ningún ropaje de retórica-, descalza, desnuda, rebelde, sin disfraz. Mi poesía recuerda y se parece a mí.»
Gloria Fuertes
Cuando el mundo retrocede, la rima asoma. Cuando la vida aprieta, los versos repuntan. Así podría definirse el legado de Gloria Fuertes, poeta necesaria del amor, la injusticia, el anhelo y la soledad. Al cumplirse el centenario de su nacimiento, en pleno auge de la poesía en las redes, reivindicamos a una mujer única.
En esta antología libre se reúne una amplia muestra de su producción poética para adultos, tan perenne como injustamente olvidada, y para niños, que le valió en las últimas décadas el clamor popular pero quizá no el crítico. Dispuestos y asociados en una suerte de itinerario vital (que no cronológico) de la autora, los poemas de Me crece la barba dan viva fe de que no había dos Glorias, sino una sola y para todos los públicos. Para absolutamente todos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
AN ANTHOLOGY OF POEMS BY GLORIA FUERTES FOR KIDS AND ADULTS
When the world retreats, rhymes emerge. When life squeezes, verses bloom. This is the legacy of Gloria Fuertes, an essential poet for grappling with love, injustice, yearning and solitude. On the centennial of her birth, with the rising popularity of poetry on social media, this collection cements the reputation of this brave and unique woman.
The volume includes a sampling of Fuertes’ poems for adults – many of them unfairly overlooked – and children, which have received popular, if not always critical, acclaim. Organized and connected according to a sort of (achronological) life map designed by the author, the poems in My Beard Is Growing demonstrate that there weren’t two Glorias, just one, whose work has relevance for everyone. Absolutely everyone.
