Trinity 1: The Father
“Trinity 1: the Father” is the second poetry text from Chilean poet Rodrigo Arenas. It’s part of a trilogy which main topic is the city and urban life.
Review by Guatemalan poet Manuel Tzoc:
“The blood of a poet is spilled, spreading over the asphalt of the avenues, over the windows of the transparent skyscrapers, over the pedestrians. Then, invades the sewers and emerges, again, with all his love to devastate the core of a city which is both hard and fragile as its glass buildings. A place where every story harbors common, essential, abstract, precise, and useless characters. Everybody with an history behind; with a poem; with a life; with a death; with a suicide from the 100th floor in order to fall into the street and to mix itself with the rest of the characters, the outsiders: a street cleaner, a crack dealer, a poet who offers the love in his blood, to flood everywhere and to sail through the veins of the metropolis burnt by the night-lights”.
