On a previous post, I said that, when I was much younger, I was really into literature, especially writing poetry. Well, I think this is the best chance I have to tell you about it.
After finishing school in 2001, I already liked writing poems, but I never dared go a step further. So, I just used to write some verses on notepads that no one would ever read or know about, except the girlfriend I had at that time. Well, the thing is that this girlfriend and I used to attend poetry workshops offered at the local goverments in La Floridad and Puente Alto. So, by attending those workshop classes regularly, I then realized that my poems were actually very good. Most of the participants and teachers at these poetry workshops used to praise my creations. So, I was then encouraged to enter poetry contests. I decided to participate in one called 'Poesía Joven' at Universidad de Valparaíso in 2003. I did not win that contest, but one of the poems I sent was selected for the poetry catalogue. I was really happy. I could not believe it. My silly poems were actually publicly valued. So, the following year, as you can imagine, I participated again. 'Do menor' was my award-winning poem. The other one I sent was also included in the catalogue.
In the picture, although you can't see the actual poem on the wall, you can see me holding a glass of wine, which is my best try for a poet pose.
You looked like an intellectual: eyeglasses , a scarf and a glass of wine.

ResponderEliminarYou should show us some of your poems!
Professor reminds me a lot of my father when he was a young man!
ResponderEliminarHe also wrote poetry that at some point only my mother knew, and also likes literature, which must have a lot of influences.
In addition you participated in a poetry contest in my port, that's great.
Professor, I've always wanted to get closer to the world of poetry, but to a very difficult result for me.
