Versión del viaje
Versión del viaje es más que un diario de abordo, es la historia de una
mirada abierta al mundo, tan amplia que recoge al horizonte.
Claudia Becerra escribe de la migración, la condición isleña, el deseo,
la muerte, el temor y todos sus vínculos. La poeta se desdobla,
esperándose en ambas orillas como metáfora de la separación que
inaugura cada viaje. Cuando se apuesta a zarpar lo que se juega son
las profundidades, donde yacen los deseos, como un ahogado.
La vida, que mata y asombra, entonces no es distinta al mar, que
cerca a las islas como a nosotros la suma de los años. Claudia Becerra
escribe de abismos “grandes como grietas” y de un mar que cambia de
forma, a veces es límite, a veces “contenedor abierto”. Este poemario
es barco, faro, isla, marinero; no necesita sirenas.
