From the minute they are born, poems aspire to independence from their
authors and a life of their own. To make them yours, it is enough to
recall them or set them on a new page in your own hand.
These, which we found on the street and kept as pets, had once run away
from their authors: Francisco de Quevedo, Antonio Fernández
Molina, Jean Arp, Gloria
Fuertes, Jacques Prévert, Isabel Escudero,
Blaise Cendrars,
Francis Picabia, Bernardo
Atxaga, Manolito el Pollero, Gabriela
Mistral, Vicent
Andrés Estellés, Baldomero
Fernández Moreno, Pere Quart, Cecilia,
Heinrich Heine, Joan
Brossa, Carmen Santonja, Oliverio Girondo, Angel
González, Rafael Alberti among others. Following the
Publisher's whim, the illustrator has made beautiful carnival costumes
for each.
There are three types of people:
Those who sweat
Those who cough
And those who are happy
(G. Fuertes)
