Johanna Pino y Marielys Irizarry

Centro Cultural Barco de Papel presented last September 26 the first edition of the “Approach to poetry written by women” with an excellent response from the community who filled the room to hear the work of the young poets Marielis Acevedo series Johanna Irizarry and Pino, from Puerto Rico and Colombia respectively.

The event combined reading the unpublished work of these young authors presented in the form of performance without the aid of microphones and in the gloom of the place decorated with candle lights after old glass doors. The poets made their entrance to the site with blindfolds while reciting one of their carefully selected to the initial poems for impact. Johanna Pino started the evening followed by Marielis Irizarry who after her entry began the reading of her poems and Johanna closed with hers.

It is important to highlight the warm decor of the room, the poets sitting in front of the public or an intimate side of a table slightly lit by a lamp room and the feminine decoration touch of a vase with red carnations.

They began this series of presentations that have been intended as a forum for analysis, debate and reflection on writers who for various reasons have not published their work. Thus these presentations serve to familiarize readers with the literary process in all facets of creation.

After the concert attendees exchanged questions to learn more about them and their work. The evening ended with the presentation of the Cuban singer Luis Alvarez, the “Juantanamero”.
