The Winged Stone
"The sounds of death came through the air. Don't breathe, someone said. Was it I who spoke? I don't know, but we all sensed that that agony was entering us." The screenwriter and poet Jose Watanabe condenses in this poetry collection — as its foreword indicates — a fruitful trajectory characterized by concision of verse, wisdom, and lyrical intensity that in this book lays bare human nature, including our lowest passions, and the violence that destroys everything. In several of his poems there is a clear reference to that everyday, close-at-hand violence that can seize us unexpectedly, as it did during the two decades of the terrorist threat.
