Analysis of Epic.



Island Lap
Open girlfriend
Burning wait
Tired traveler
With cup of good coffee
Smelling of humble herbs
Of poetry spilled
Reconciled emotion
Guitar with feet
Channel owner
Ivory charm purity
Carnivals downpours
Vast, convulsed feel
Cloud memory
Boisterous miracles
Matanzas city embedded
In venerable rivers
Island Lap
Candid, open girlfriend
Athens of the World
Saga of my existence
Amaze four seasons
With superhuman; wild tiles
Ceilings of veins in verses made centuries.

Angel Acosta

Nothing better to introduce myself than some questions asked by my kind readers. -- How did you get to the world of letters? I belong to a generation of writers without internet. And I don't have facebook nor am I on any of the social networks. Believe me, there are too many Ángel Acosta. Adding another is unnecessary. -- So... Did you create a style? -- Nooooo, that's not so easy!...Today my novels, stories and poetry string handfuls of words with no return. -- How do you write? -- ... anywhere! Inside the bus, the subway, in a park... in the rain, snow, sun... not even pandemics can stop me! -- Do you follow any special method? --... I write for Hand of God. That for me is enough. -- Do you enjoy writing? ---…I can not explain it. I listen to the crazy inner music of each word and I enjoy it as much as the sun when--every day-- gets down on its knees to woo the night... -- Why do you have such a special style; say, challenging, unusual, daring? --... our bloody life is unusual, challenging and daring!... All I do is narrate and make verses with architectural signs. I respect every sound of the soul and build it with your words. In one fell swoop I put them together and describe (as I see and hear them) our daily conflicts. That like a fighting fish they slap even their own image. -- Who do you write for? -- … for my grandchildren! Leopolda and all my children… -- By the way... Who is Leopolda? -- Ahhh!... She is my favorite corner. A Christ without a cross... The next verse! --…and Cristóbal Delanada? --... the charm of that man wanders in my novels, stories, verses and also here... https://cristobaldelanada.wordpress.com/ -- How do you get your inspiration? --... as simple as keeping five fingers together inside... and outside the pocket.... Do you understand? more…
