Qué hacer cuando la vida parece andar demasiado deprisa; cuando el amor y la muerte comparten el mismo lugar. Qué, cuando el tiempo y el miedo y el sexo se roban el sueño y te dejan tirado en la cama para rascarle a la tierra un cachito de más soledad. Al menos, en el caso de Cesar Jordán, la respuesta es escribir. Para amar, para respirar, para no morir.
27, poemas para la noche y la madrugada es el retrato del viaje de un ser humano por todo...

Frankétienne habite Port-au-Prince, ville orpheline, dit-on, d'espoirs et de songes. Parfois, au fond de la nuit, sur les collines, résonnent de mystérieuses voix. Quand ce ne sont pas des djinns, les habitants croient que c'est la voix de Frankétienne serpentant les montagnes, hurlant dans les plaines un chant de vie plus puissant que la mort. Et dans ces périmètres carrés acculés à la dépendance, à la bêtise et au cynisme urbanistique,...

Poesía irónica, amable, divertida, con toques de lo que algunos podrían considerar no apropiado para una escritura que llamaríamos "poética".
