Most Powerful Desktop Ever 2010
Eloy Jáuregui (Lima, 1955) is a popular and controversial journalist, his articles are collected in the book You are guilty (2004) - speech pathologist Lima and popular culture. However, it began as an enthusiastic young poet, a member of the second generation of the group Zero Hour. His poems included in various compilations, but these days has just published his first book: Deep hair. Or broken string guitar (Hinge, 2010).
texts gathered here have been posted at different times using different poetic and using different registers of language. In the first section ("Chest tip"), recreates the discourse of the chroniclers of the sixteenth century, to offer an ironic and critical version of the conquest of Peru. In another, the poet has episodes of his life, but in light of his reading and favorite works, with a true display of quotations, neologisms and adjectives always accurate.
Other poetry and themes in Deep hair, and they all proved to be an author Jáuregui efficient with a broad and careful vocabulary of sound and rhythm of his verses, features more typical of cultic poetry that vitalism Zero Hour. Despite his obvious achievements, these poems are always some epigonal character, perhaps because they are proposals that others have developed fully and take greater risks.

How To Make A Wooden Clothes Hamper
solar plexus
Oswaldo Chanover (Arequipa, 1954) is the author of one book of poetry paradigmatic of the 80 Peruvian, The hero and his relationship with heroin (1983), which shared many of the poetic options from the previous decade, but putting much more emphasis on irony and parody. These same elements can be found in the solar plexus (Coven, 2010), his sixth and latest book of poems.
From the book's title, taken from the anatomical nomenclature, these 33 poems are presented as consistent scientific discourse (on the laws of evolution, the big bang , operation Brain, etc.) but are slowly stumbling and falling on several contradictions, which the poet presents in words or verses enclosed in parentheses. Thus, the brackets are multiplied to provide a second speech parallel. Much of the poetic effect is precisely the jumps between these two "records."
The ruptures and breaks dynamic contributes ironic use of references from the most prestigious culture-eg the poems entitled "The dice (eternal)" or "Cursed Cavafy! - Or the most popular and media: rock, film , colloquial language. Although in this respect as in others, solar plexus is less successful than the first books of poems by Chanover, is nevertheless a valuable book, which shows an author coming to full maturity.
