THE TIGER IN THE STREET

About

Verses should be written in such a way that, if you throw a poem out the window, the glass will break. – Daniil Harms

In the same way we think and we wonder how can a tiger appear in the street, as the poem by Daniil Harms, we also react with equal surprise how poetry is absent of so many people daily life.Surrendered to common places, put to sleep by wordy speeches, we watch the eroding of words bright and dissonant character. More than enough reasons to celebrate poetry and find in it the counterpoint and resistance against this state of affairs. So it appears this book: one more door, or window, if you will, for a poetry that summons a playful language of questions instead of answers, but above all, ageless poems that throw humor and absurd against beautiful hollow words that much contribute to the prejudice against poetry.
