Chorro de Ciervos

A New Generation of Poets from Afghanistan: This collection of contemporary poems is by noted Hazara writer and journalist, Kamran Mir Hazar. Kamran voices the Hazara experience of the harassed refugee who longs to pursue his art, but is gagged by corrupt authorities at nearly every turn. Though he suffered stifling prejudice, physical violence, and exile, his poems express the most profound joys of life and an abiding commitment to justice and freedom. Translated from Persian/Dari/ Hazaragi and English to Spanish. A poetry from CHORRO DE CIERVOS ( Lines separated by ///): Los virus de la escritura /// Y los laberintos electr nicos /// Con apagones y sin computador /// En una casa rentada, a siete mil por mes; /// Kabul, la capital afgana /// Qu tonto poema es ste? /// Te preguntas son poes a las palabras solitarias que vagan por corredores /// electr nicos, /// Cercenadas de su existencia, /// Arrojadas lejos, sin ninguna alternativa excepto la de convertirse en poema? /// Miras a la imaginaci n vagando a trav s de senderos, por senderos /// Tiras la correa sobre otra palabra todav a, // Tratando de dominar a esa salvaje, /// Y si fracasas, /// Dejas de funcionar, /// Como un computador colapsado.
