“They say poetry was born to put right all the evil words have ever done”
no matter how wide ranging language can be, it alone cannot express man. that’s the reason why my words become “poetical anomalies”; because it is in the silence that i found the great poem i am.”

Alejandro Fasanini

El tipico guacho latinoamericano

Solo descansaré bajo mi cruz.
Solo así tendré un final.
Y a ti, que caminas por los jardines de nadie
ten cuidado con esa esquina donde hay sombra,
desde el invierno estoy allí abatido
y ni siquiera el sol sabe de mí.

Don Juan Buenos Aires

Don Juan Buenos Aires reminds us how
love’s many faces can still don new senses.
Putting together the more radical symbols of our collective imagination, D.J.B.A. asks and solves an ancient question: how to write love anew when so much has been said already?

Sueños y poesia pendiente (dreams and pending poetry)

With a surrealist or nostalgic eye, with de-constructive intention
and a mirror vision of his own intention, Fasanini does not speculate,
but shows poetry his own poetic self in its complex being.
And poetry sends him back his own fragmented identity.
Dreams and pending poetry share underlying tracks with contemporary poetry and disappear among swirls, looking for the way back
that leads us to the very same poetical voice as it speaks to and with itself and with the world.

We believe we know god, as god believes he knows us

Cada gota de sal me aleja de Dios.
A él le habría gustado
Emborracharse en mi callejón
junto a los cuerpos de mis compañeros
de las ganas y las dsganas
hasta llegar al final de cada noche donde los vasos se rompen
y colgamos de las mesas y nos pensamos.
