\"Cabinas<\/p>\n

El poeta estadounidense Billy Collins (1941) pretende valerse de los m\u00e1s sencillos detalles de la vida cotidiana para rebelarse contra la tradici\u00f3n literaria m\u00e1s grandilocuente.<\/em><\/p>\n

INTRODUCCI\u00d3N A LA POES\u00cdA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Les pido que cojan un poema
\ny lo sostengan a la luz
\ncomo a una diapositiva a color<\/p>\n

o que aprieten un o\u00eddo contra su panal.<\/p>\n

Digo: soltar un rat\u00f3n en un poema
\ny observar c\u00f3mo busca la salida,<\/p>\n

o caminar al interior de la habitaci\u00f3n del poema
\ny palpar las paredes en busca de un interruptor.<\/p>\n

Quiero que hagan esqu\u00ed acu\u00e1tico
\nsobre la superficie del poema
\nsaludando al nombre del autor en la orilla.<\/p>\n

Pero todo lo que quieren hacer
\nes atar el poema a una silla con una cuerda
\ny torturarle hasta sacarle una confesi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Comienzan a golpearle con una manguera
\npara descubrir lo que realmente significa.<\/p>\n

INTRODUCTION TO POETRY<\/strong><\/p>\n

I ask them to take a poem
\nand hold it up to the light
\nlike a color slide<\/span><\/p>\n

or press an ear against its hive.<\/p>\n

I say drop a mouse into a poem
\nand watch him probe his way out,<\/p>\n

or walk inside the poem\u2019s room
\nand feel the walls for a light switch.<\/p>\n

I want them to water-ski
\nacross the surface of a poem
\nwaving at the author\u2019s name on the shore.<\/span><\/p>\n

But all they want to do
\nis tie the poem to a chair with a rope
\nand torture a confession out of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

They begin beating it with a hose
\nto find out what it really means.<\/p>\n
