The Ancient Immensity Of The Wound

Description

Gorka Lasa is a distinguished voice in Latin American poetry. The expansive concentric circles of his creation place him in that realm. His poetry holds a brilliant rhythmic conception that resolves the transfer of its expression through the confines of the memory; with it, it expresses a tribute to our language. Gorka Lasa questions myths and attends to evocation as an element of poetry; with the power that moves and convince, the poet traces his memories of the wound, of the sleeping suns, of the stone and of the depth, and emotionally invites us to find our own. Because, when we remember, we know, it goes through the heart. Eduardo Langagne, Mexican writer “…visionary verses … a calling which force us to try to remember and rescue that ancient knowledge that Gorka so eloquently alludes, which, like a faithful torch, like an Ariadne’s thread, is capable of guide us out from the labyrinth of the unconscious and vapid life. –Hans H. Hammerschlag in Foreword The meticulous construction of Gorka Lasa’s poetic framework allows us to affirm that we are, without a doubt, before an author of consolidated poetry, a remarkable representative of the young generations of our literature. Manuel Orestes Nieto. Panamanian writer
