James. James Oscco Anamaría, repito tu nombre varias veces. Como una oración lo repito al comenzar mi jornada y le digo a Dios, a los amigos y a mi mismo, quizá para poder empezar a creerlo, que nunca jamás estuviste tan vivo.

What certain poets of trauma intuit is that their old self cannot survive the suffering it has experienced without succumbing. Thus necessity permits and compels imagination to create a new self, a self strong enough or different enough to move through and beyond the trauma and its aftermath.

Gregory Orr, quoted by Sam Hamill at Poets Against War
