Ximena López Bustamante, Morella Petrozzi, Giovanna Pollarolo, Mayra Santos-Febres and Romina Silman in conversation with Martín Zúñiga Chávez

Poetry is not a single language, but a constellation of perspectives. Some arise from intimacy, others from the body, memory, or desire. Ximena López Bustamante, Morella Petrozzi, Romina Silman, Giovanna Pollarolo and Mayra Santos-Febres will share five ways of approaching the poem. Pollarolo, from the experience of one of the most established voices in contemporary Peruvian poetry; Santos-Febres, from the dialogue between poetry and the body, identity, Afro-Peruvian memory and desire; López-Bustamante, from the perspective of a new generation searching for its own language; Petrozzi, from a less conventional dimension, where the body, movement and performance expand the possibilities of the poetic act; and Silman, from the body and memory as places where one can reconstruct one’s own identity.
