The Leoncio poet Luque, member of the group Katerba Noble, and now serves as professor of literature at a school in Villa El Salvador, had a very original idea to raise students' interest in poetry. It was not pushing them to another art again, something distant, almost abstract, no. Quite the contrary. Sought, promoted and encouraged every one of those guys were high school seniors participating in creative writing. Moreover, not of the same texts that are repeated in the typical college textbooks, which many of us we had to endure and many more turned away from literature and reading in general, with its readable and got it squared a series of poems and stories complete ossified. Professor Luque gave them access to other creations, other authors, from different eras, different realities, and invited them to find a link to each of these works. But let us explain himself:
The start of reading poetry is a fun question that begins when the student is given a pile of books of poetry from different generations, bringing it to their context, their generation. And the issue of creation flows like something closer. Because students are more familiar and you feel him, and who start investigating certain author who has captured your interest. Then collected, read, models, design books they think edit by hand. I copied by hand or you take photostat, do you, take over from the acquired poetic taste. The fillings with different materials, according to your taste and interest, card, cardboard, corrospón, microporous simple cardboard, cloth, painted, etc. Then there is the work of a poet anthologized as a single text. The student has done his research material, has found that feelings for the new poetry, not so new, it's not all rhyme, but music, rhythm, cadence, diagrams, pictures, and then share their research with the rest of the students and increase their knowledge of Peruvian poetry.
As we see this experience is not a simple extension of classes, a job to do, but an opportunity to connect with the rest of the world, other worlds: the art and living in interior.
think they can be editors, writers, designers, librarians and can make an International School Fair with foreign writers. I happy, but exhausted, but happy. I am a teacher, but before the teacher, I am a poet, and do not want to be stingy in denying knowing the actual poetry, when all information is available. I do not want to have fifty years and just found out that a writer close to the time he was publishing in search of a reader.
Now, tomorrow in the school premises Republic of Peru will hold a Expoferia where we know and enjoy the work for each of those guys.Here is a small sample of what we find:
An initiative indeed worth emulating.
