Miami/The Miami Book Fair brings together Cuban writers Joaquín Gálvez, Glenda Galán and Teresa Dovalpage at the meeting Poetry and theater: the word on stagea conversation about different forms of literary expression and the possibilities of language to explore human experience, identity, and the contradictions of everyday life.
Joaquín Gálvez presents Effluviaa volume of aphorisms, epigrams and maxims of a philosophical nature. Through short texts, the author proposes reflections in which the conciseness and precision of language take on special prominence. The work relies on the ability of a few words to condense ideas, observations and questions about existence.
For her part, Glenda Galán participates with He who doesn’t dance doesn’t eat cake, a poetic proposal that combines the sweetness and wounds of life experience. The book approaches the journey through life from a sensitivity that recognizes both the moments of celebration and the losses and difficulties that accompany existence.
Teresa Dovalpage presents From stage to pagea volume that brings together three plays in which humor and critical observation allow us to address issues related to Latino identity in the United States and Cuban daily life. His pieces explore situations and conflicts that cross personal relationships, cultural differences and the experiences of those who live between different realities.
Although they start from different genres, the three publications share an interest in the expressive possibilities of the word. From the reflective brevity of the aphorism to the intensity of poetry and theatrical dialogue, the meeting will allow us to examine how literature transforms individual and collective experiences in terms of creation.
The conversation will be moderated by Kelly Martínez-Grandal, Cuban writer, and will be held in Spanish as part of the Ibero-American program of the Miami Book Fair.
