Perfect Crime of Francisco de Asís Hernández or the poet and its mirror

Abstract

“All poems participate and live in that sacred tremor that is both remembrance and permanent re-creation of a life that is grasped and yet not grasped, that was lived and yet doesn’t belong to us, that is the only truth remaining and yet is not recognized. There is a person who lives in my mirror / who has been created through the moments of me looking at myself, / and it seems to contain, for all its age, the perverse side of my dreams. / Years ago it was different. And time has made it someone else,” writes José Luis Reina Palazón Sevilla, about the work “The Perfect Crime,” by Nicaraguan poet Francisco de Asís Hernández.
