Passers-by strolling through the streets of Cartagena can be found along the way with large-format poems that go out to meet them on sidewalks and bus stops: it is the publicity of the poetic festival Deslinde, which begins this Friday, November 18.
In these supports of urban furniture you can read the short poem by Oliver Belmás that has given name to the festival itself:
DEMARCATION
Of what never tires you
Of course I'm tired.
What you always tired of
Of course I do not get tired.
Alongside this Deslinde, other poems by Carmen Conde, by Rubén Darío, which the festival honors on the centenary of his death, from Quevedo with the beautiful sonnet he wrote 400 years ago in Cartagena can be read in the streets and squares.
Also from the winner of last year's Oliver Belmás Award, Agustín Pérez Leal, and other outstanding poets who will be at the festival such as the Luis Alberto de Cuenca National Poetry Prize, or the Vicente Gallego Valencian, winner, among others, of the prize Generation of the 27 of this year.
Citizens and visitors will also be able to stumble over The eagerness to exist, that deep existentialist interrogation of veteran poet Maria Teresa Cervantes:
That anxiety of being, of not dying.
What we never understand.
The eagerness to exist, the excess of everything.
That other day for which we vainly live.
Deslinde will be held between November 18 and 28, and is the first poetic festival in the region, organized by the City of Cartagena with the collaboration of other institutions and entities, whose birth has been coincided with the XXX edition Of the International Prize of Poetry Antonio Oliver that has organized all this time the Popular University of Cartagena.
During the eleven days that the festival will take place there will be 34 acts of all kinds and for all audiences in which 36 invited poets will participate.
