Abstract/Description
En esta antología hay alegría y tristeza, realismo y fantasía, emoción y reflexión. Esta antología provee una manera de conocer a una poesía madura y coherente, profunda y única, escrita por los judíos de América Latina. Aquí se conocerá la producción de trece poetas, de la enorme creatividad judía dispersada por la inmensidad de Latinoamérica y además por EEUU e Israel. Incluye nuevas versiones de historias bíblicas, poemas de amor y de odio, lamentaciones sobre el Holocausto, recuerdos de infancias judías. Aparecen rabinos y nazis, judíos observantes y judíos laicos, judíos asquenazíes cuyos antecedentes inmigraron de Rusia y el este de Europa, y sefardíes cuyos antecedentes inmigraron de Turquía, Grecia, Siria y el norte de África.
La cultura judío-latinoamericana es, como diría Ricardo Feierstein, una cultura mestiza, influida por el ambiente hispano y al mismo tiempo, fuertemente inspirada por la mentalidad y las tradiciones judaicas.
La colección misma reúne poesía de trece poetas, algunos que muestran el interior del alma o meditan sobre los símbolos y prácticas del judaísmo, otros que protestan los crímenes antisemitas y los horrores del Holocausto y otros más que alaban las ciudades y campos de Latinoamérica. Emplean una constelación de estilos poéticos, inspirados por los grandes poetas latinoamericanos--Rubén Darío, César Tiempo, Pablo Neruda y Alejandra Pizarnik, mientras otros adoptan el neo-barroco o las tendencias herméticas de los principios del siglo veintiuno.
En esta poesía, los temas que predominan son la identidad y la memoria; las familias judías; la religión judía--sus costumbres y particularidades; la historia judía--en particular, la época de la Biblia; la inmigración a la América Latina; las dictaduras latinoamericanas, especialmente la última dictadora en Argentina; el Holocausto; y el Estado de Israel.
This anthology is filled with joy and mourning, realism and fantasy, emotion and reflection. The poetry in this volume is mature, profound and unique. It is a demonstration of the enormous creativity possessed by Jews dispersed over the vastness of Latin America, and also in the United States and Israel. In spite of the fact that many of these poets have lived through populist governments, dictatorships, anti-Semitism, endemic economic and political crises, they have continued to produce extraordinary literature and art.
Theirs is a mestizo culture, as Ricardo Feierstein would say, influenced by their Hispanic surroundings, and at the same time, strongly tied to Jewish traditions and ways of thinking. Included here are new versions of Biblical and Talmudic stories, poems of love and of hate, lamentations for the losses of the Holocaust, memories of Jewish childhoods. The selections contain rabbis and Nazis; observant Jews and non-believers; Ashkenazi Jews whose families emigrated from Russia and Eastern Europe; and Sephardic Jews whose families emigrated from Turkey, Greece, Syria, and North Africa.
Some of these poets write about very private things, many meditate on the symbols and practices of Judaism; others protest anti-Semitism and the horrors of the Holocaust; and yet others write in praise of the cities and countryside of Latin America. They employ a constellation of poetic styles, some inspired by the greats of Latin American poetry--Rubén Darío, César Vallejo, Pablo Neruda, and Alejandra Pizarnik; others look to the neo-baroque and the hermetic tendencies of the twenty-first century.
In this poetry, the predominant themes are: identity and its corollary, memory; the Jewish family; the Jewish religion as practiced in Latin America--its customs and peculiarities; Jewish history-in particular, the Biblical period; the waves of immigration to Latin America; the many dictatorships--in particular the last dictatorship in Argentina; the Holocaust; and the State of Israel.--Author's abstract
