In \u003ci\u003ePostmodern Valladolid\u003c\/i\u003e the Mexican poet Raúl Casamadrid insists on exercising such a strange way of life. He has stood against the habits of his time (hedonism, the unbridled desire to be right, the urgency of innovation, the vulgar stolidity) and walks cautiously, slowly, by streets that are re-invented instances of memory, along avenues that become circular prisons.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRaúl composes among alleys, empty lots, withered colonial portals, small squares, cemeteries, fountains, hotel rooms, bridges, walls that have seen executions and misery, hidden gardens and sewers. Everything can relate to everything in his city.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHis verses do not condescend for, nor profess any specific aesthetic. Raúl composes at his own pace, standing. He refuses to be the demiurge poet, the architect, the little god who ruminates about boring immortality. He has chosen to be the man of the street who writes poems that are not the luxury object of the bourgeois but, as the anti-poet says, they are \"a product of prime necessity.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePostmodern Valladolid\u003c\/i\u003e, bilingual edition, is the sixth poetry book of Darklight's Bridges Series, which intends to connect two different cultures and languages that nevertheless share universal artistic values.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRaúl Casamadrid\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer, editor, teacher and journalist.
