A Pesar de Los Aguaceros / Despite the Downpours: Bilingual edition Efrin Gonzalez

[Español]
Los textos aquí contenidos fueron escritos entre los años 2013 y 2018, con la intención de acercarme a un lenguaje poético. Todos los poemas, sin excepción, han sido escritos lejos de Guatemala, país de donde soy originario. Ha sido Dinamarca el país que ha visto nacer estos textos de manera aleatoria. He procurado desarrollar y concentrar en este poemario un leitmotiv principal, el cual se irá descubriendo con la lectura.
Deseo que el viaje por estas páginas logre transmitir las sensaciones que dieron origen a la poesía que las nombra, y que por ello sea una experiencia para conservar y compartir.

The texts herein contained were written between 2013 and 2018, with the intention of moving closer to a poetic language. All the poems, without exception, have been written far away from Guatemala, country where I am originally from. It is Denmark the land which has seen these texts be born in a fortuitous way. I have tried to develop and concentrate in this compilation of poetry a principal leitmotiv, which will begin to take form as the book is read. I hope that the voyage through these pages successfully transmits the sensations that gave birth to the poetry which names them, and that for this, it becomes an experience worth conserving and sharing.
