Girls cannot be drummers. Long ago on an island filled with music, no one questioned that rule - until the drum dream girl. In her city of drumbeats, she dreamed of pounding tall congas and tapping small bongós. She had to keep quiet. She had to practice in secret.

Ci sono poeti che non saranno mai letti. I motivi che possono determinare questa mancata opportunità sono molteplici. Ad esempio, un poeta può decidere di non divulgare i propri scritti, facendo in tal modo della poesia un'esperienza privata e discreta. Un altro, invece, può stabilire di non comporre poesie, rimanendo sì interprete (nella vita quotidiana) della propria indole poetica. Un altro, ancora, pur nutrendo il desiderio di pubblicare le proprie opere, può trovare soltanto l'indifferenza da parte dell'editoria.

En estos poemas espero encuentres la solitud que tu alma necesita para poder empezar de nuevo o qué tal vez te sumerjas en mis letras completamente para que tu realidad sea un poquito más amena. Que te des cuenta de que, aunque algunas veces no vemos salida alguna a problemas incontrolables, siempre hay alguien más que te puede entender perfectamente porque lo tuyo, en ojos de ellos, solo es pasajero.

Este conjunto de poemas puede parecer inconexo o inconsistente. Y en buena medida lo es: No hay unidad temática ni un esquema fijo predeterminado. Ni siquiera una voz única, dado que reúnen casi una década de trabajo en esto de escribir versos. Disparejo: Visceral a ratos, prolijo y apegado a lo formal en otros momentos. Poesía que reniega de apellidos, de los "ismos" y de las taxonomías mañosas. Poesía a secas, con las manos vacías y sin cruzar los dedos.
