The Sky Between Parenthesis

Marisa Martínez Pérsico's voice establishes its own border between lucidity and dreams, between the exterior world and intimacy. The body tells and sings its own story, because feeling skin is a similar experience to crossing a city or touching an idea with your hands. The moment of this poetry occurs in the place of instinct and meditation, of knowing and wishing. The certainties of the sky are placed between parentheses because there are borders that are created so that poetry may cross them and establish its contraband of memory and silence. Always on the other side of things, reality listens from behind a door and caters to imagination from the other shore of that which has already happened or from what could perhaps repeat itself in a different way. Professor and poet, Marisa Martínez Pérsico unifies narrative impulses with pure lyricism, knowledge of tradition with the living time of tomorrow, materiality with escape. She has the gift of first times and second chances. Luis García Montero
