Poetry, as any art, helps people express what sometimes is hard to see or understand. Theres something magical about reading some difficult or easy lines but feeling so much, even though you sometimes dont actually understand some term or phrase, you just feel it.
Well, this is what people from the Baja want to share with friends from the other side of the border. The Third Binational Poetry Encounter will take place at the audiovisual room of the Baja California Cultural institute in Tijuana, during the Tijuana Interzona Festival.
The event will start at 6:30 pm and it will have the honor of having the presence of poets such as Daniel Rojas, Gladys Gonzalez, Minerva Reynosa and Javier Norambuena.
The mission of this event is to explore the singularities and benefits of living in a geographic, political, and cultural place, such as the North border of Mexico; all of these details seen through the unique perspective of poetry.
This encounter seeks to promote the dialogue between foreign and local poets, and also to organize useful activities, such as lectures and workshops, as well as applying dynamics that help the creative construction between poets and readers from their cities.
Amaranta Caballero is the coordinator of this Third Edition, among the poets visiting Tijuana we have: Jose Kozer (Cuba), Jose Anaya (Mexico), Victor Sosa (Uruguay). Javier Norambuena (Chile), Carla Faesler (Mexico), Pedro Mena (Mexico), and Cristina Rivera (Mexico/U.S.), and others.
And as for local poets, the festival will count on the participation of Paty Blake, Elizabeth Cazessus, Jhonnatan Curiel, Anna Chig, Olga Gutierrez (Mexico/U.S.), Francisco Morales, and Heriberto Yepez, among others.
Admission is FREE and the date is Sept. 21 to Oct. 4, so if youre in the mood for poetry and are willing to learn, go and have a very interesting time.
