Rob Ayling writes: It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied with in seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not?"
Why not indeed!!"
IN PRAISE OF MATHILDE GARVIA
OUR POETIC ANCESTOR
She was a film star in her
native Bolivia
She founded a Poetry Festival
in Nahuatl
She spoke several languages,and
remembered
the poetry of Neruda and
Mistral and more-
she was a declamadore!This art
of recalling
the fine poetry of past
poets-of performing
their works with aplomb,passion
and panache.
(it is a lost skill-she lasted
perhaps 100 years
No one knew .She kissed me on
the lips every birthday
She shared her talents and
skills @AIPF
and EXPRESSIONS.Her daughter
shares Music of the Andes
on Community Radio(KOOP).You
may never have met her-
a National Treasure.Remember
your Declamadore!
Remember Nahuatl.Remember
poetry..
