GRACIAS – CHEERS

Welcome to page #2 of the POETS & WRITERS Series. This series features some of the outstanding poets, writers and artists of our WP community and of the rest of the world. In their own words they reply to three survey questions and talk about themselves, their history and their trajectory into the future.

Today we feature Barbara Leonhard, editor of Masticadores USA, and this is how she replied to our survey questions:

1) Who are your major literary/artistic references?

It’s difficult to pinpoint all those who have influenced my thinking and writing. It’s interesting that I’ve returned to those whose works I was introduced to in my undergraduate and graduate years. I was profoundly influenced by Carl Jung. His Red Book taught me to journey inside, to go deep into the self. Joseph Campbell’s The Hero with a Thousand Faces taught me about archetypes and mythic figures, all of whom are at the soul of all my writing. Aristotle and Plato have also influenced how I interpret symbols and organize my thoughts.

Many poets have taught me over the years. Emily Dickinson, her mystical lines and slant rhyme. Anne Sexton, her clever, dark, and crafted works. Robert Frost, his attention to format, rhythm, and rhyme. Elizabeth Bishop, her attention to detail and craft. I envy all those who were able to write ancient and modern epics. I’m drawn to humor and noir, so today, Nolcha Fox and John Yamrus influence me. Of course, Shakespeare, Blake, Burns, Herbert, Wordsworth, and other classic poets influence me. I also love poetry from other countries and cultures. Lately, l’ve been reading Palestinian poets. I’m drawn to study those who become poet laureates, such as Joy Harjo, Ada Limón, Ted Kooser, and Walter Bargen. I have also been influenced by Robert Bly, David Whyte, John O’Donahue, and the contemporary wisdom teacher and philosopher Michael Meade, who writes of the powerful interplay of our archetypes and mythic figures in our current lives.

2) What makes you a writer? What do you like to write about? What is your plan for the next five years?

I’m a writer because I’m compelled to explore feelings and tell stories. I started writing poems and stories at age 8. School and work always competed, but I had some publications in college. After I retired in 2017, I’ve had much more time to write, and having learned a great deal in my life, I had more to say, as well.

Currently, I’m the Editor for MasticadoresUSA, which I donate time to, and it’s so much fun. Having also published Three-Penny Memories: A Poetic Memoir (EIF- Experiments in Fiction, 2022), I’m looking for a new project. Nolcha Fox and I have a book releasing sometime this year with Garden of Neuro Publishing. It’s called Too Much Fun to Be Legal, a collection of collaborative noir poems about aging, grief, and loss.

3) Do you write about your life, your feelings/emotions, yourself?

I tend to write memoir poetry, but I also write articles about topics that matter to me, such as measles encephalitis, which almost killed me when I was six going on seven before the MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine was available. The year I caught measles was the worst outbreak in the U.S. Encephalitis is dangerous brain swelling, which causes paralysis, coma, and death. Surviving measles encephalitis without disability and brain damage is rare. Miraculously, at age 7, I taught myself how to walk again.

I’ve also written about the dangerous effects of diethylstilboestrol (DES), a drug prescribed to pregnant women from 1938 to 1971. This drug harmed the fetuses’ reproductive systems and created cancers later in life. Fortunately, I found a DES specialist who prevented many cancers from developing in my body.

I’ve written about other health topics, such as Alzheimer’s, from the viewpoint of caregiving. My debut poetry collection, Three-Penny Memories: A Poetic Memoir, is about my caregiving for my mother, who had Alzheimer’s. It also covers my DES wounding and her care of me when I had measles encephalitis.

I’ve written some poems about my husband and me which are not sentimental love poems, mostly ironic and humorous with a story line involving events in our lives.

I am also inspired to write poetry about current events, such as the war in Ukraine, the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S Capital, the death of George Floyd, the development of artificial intelligence, and other current topics.

BARBARA’S POETRY

This sample poem is in my book Three-Penny Memories: A Poetic Memoir. In a rogue dream poem, the poet reimagines a tragic outcome. In my case, I reimagined my mother’s death in mythic terms.

Mermother: A Rogue Dream Poem
-After Melanie Figg

I.
Mother sits, her back to me.
How can I see into her eyes,
into her maelstrom of memories,

tossing and turning thoughts,
clouds reflected in vertiginous waves.
Watching for mishaps,

I guide her onto a lifeboat.
“Where do you want me, Hon? Here?”
“Sit there, please.”

She sits elsewhere.
I salvage the bills and pills,
her CPAP for clear and calm dreams.

“Whatever you want, Hon.”
“Not what I want. What you need.”
She removes the mask when I leave.

II.
She slips away into tumbling waves.
Mermother, her stories of elusive coral treasure.
Her travails in Kulilu and Melusina. Rescues

of sailors who solved her riddles. Her songs
with her lover, Trewhella. Her battle with Hecate
to retrieve her pearls.

Suddenly I am her octopus friend.
I gather her in my arms
and swim up for air.

III.
The good days at the mall,
shopping for rings, new handbags,
Alfred Dunner outfits.

Lunch at Panera’s, ice cream
at Café Court and a movie. At Hallmark,
we shop for sympathy cards.

I am spending too much money.
My husband says, “You have to.
She’s your mother.”

IV.
When the storm waves recede,
I find my mermother laid to rest on the shore,
her string of pearls broken.

Her eyes meet mine. I wipe her gills.
Her lips turn blue
and pulse to stillness.

BREVES DATOS BIBLIOGRÁFICOS. ANA DE LACALLE
Vive en L’Hospitalet de Llobregat -Barcelona- Licenciada en Filosofía, profesora durante 23 años, ha colaborado en ediciones colectivas de Filosofía y de Literatura. Ha escrito novelas filosóficas, aforismos y ensayo. Colabora con distintas entidades y/o movimientos de Latinoamérica en el ámbito filosófico. Obras destacadas “Existo, para vivir” y “El mal que nos hacemos” ambas en Terra Ignota ediciones.

Bienvenidos a esta nueva serie de VALENCIARTIST… Hablaremos con nuestros poetas, escritores y artistas de esta nuestra comunidad de WordPress como con los de la gran comunidad de la vida. Le hemos postulado a ellos tres preguntas y le hemos sugerido también incluir un resumen biográfico y muestras de su obra. Así lo han hecho y les damos las gracias y la bienvenida. VALENCIARTIST publicara un articulo/entrevista diariamente, mientras dure la serie, y lo haremos sin censura y sin cambiar nada de lo que nos han mandado. Hablaran en sus propias palabras los protagonistas de esta serie. Asi que lo que leeréis aquí serán las palabras que ellos usan para definirse y también como definen su obra que nosotros, con muchísimo gusto, publicamos.

ENTREVISTA CON ANA DE LACALLE

1) ¿Quien/Quienes son tus referencias literarias/artísticas?

Teniendo en cuenta que acostumbro a cultivar una filosofía literaria o literatura filosófica, desearía citar como referentes literarios a Stefan Zweig y Javier Marías, y otros filosóficos como Schopenhauer, Nietzsche y Cioran. Constituyen un bagaje importante para mí.

2) ¿Qué te define como escritor/a, sobre qué temas escribes y que piensas hacer durante los próximos cinco años?

No creo que pueda «definirme como escritora», sí que me mueve el deseo de que la filosofía esté al alcance de todos, y desde ahí puedo escribir, novela, relatos, aforismos, ensayo. Tengo entre manos un ensayo divulgativo de filosofía arraigada a la vida, desde y para la vida. Alejándome de la Filosofía academicista que impide el acceso de muchos que tienen interés a reflexiones que nos atañen a todos.

3) ¿Por qué escribes y escribes sobre ti, sobre tus vivencias, emociones, sentimientos, en fin sobre tu vida?

La mayoría de escritores, lo hagan desde la posición que lo hagan, en cierta forma siempre filtran parte de ellos. No podemos escribir trascendiéndonos a nosotros mismos, ni creo que sea deseable.

GRACIAS – CHEERS

La naturaleza confunde, perturba, llama la atención y nos enseña que las cosas no son como nos las imaginamos, no son como las vemos,

sino que son colores que van cambiando según los hace brillar el sol, y el sol no se apura ni cambia su rumbo,

gira alrededor nuestro y nos deja ver la realidad, nos da la luz que rebota con las cosas y así, fuera de nosotros, su luz nos es útil…

++ +++ ++ +++ ++ +++ ++ +++

Nature confuses us, perturbs us, attracts us and teaches us that things are not how we imagine them; things are not how we see them,

instead they are colours that change constantly according to the brilliance of the sun, and the sun does not change its course nor does it hurry,

it revolves around us and lets us see reality, it gives us light, light that bounces off the myriad of things, shining outside of us, becoming useful to us…

El Euro-Ku es un invento mío de 2022, el año cuando me propuse a estudiar el Haiku para intentar componerlos. Pero como no soy japonés, no me salían con la misma soltura, con la misma espiritualidad. Entonces me di cuenta porque no era posible y la razón es muy simple. Uno tiene que ser fiel a su tiempo, a su historia, a su lugar en el mundo, a su cultura y a sus experiencias. Para escribir un Haiku hay que ser japonés y como no lo soy, pero como si soy amante del estilo, desarrollé el Euro-Ku, una forma europea para expresar, mas o menos la misma cosa, pero siéndole fiel a mi historia. Como habéis visto el Euro-Ku tiene tres versículos, pero sin contar silabas, uso las silabas que me hagan falta para expresar la idea y además los tres versículos tienen que seguir, lógicamente, uno al otro sin que el pensamiento se pierda entre las nubes. Y lo mas importante es que el Euro-Ku tiene que ser acompañado por una ilustración propia de su autor.

+++++ +++ +++++ +++ +++++ +++ +++++

The Euro-Ku is my invention from 2022, the year when I set out to study Haiku in an attempt to compose them. But as I am not Japanese, they did not flow as easily, with the same spirituality. Then I realized why it wasn’t possible, and the reason is very simple. The artist/poet/writer has to be true to their time, their history, their place in the world, their culture, and their experiences. To write a Haiku, one has to be Japanese, and as I am not. But as a lover of the style, I developed the Euro-Ku, a European form to express more or less the same thing, but maintaining true to my history. As you have seen, the Euro-Ku has three verses, but without counting syllables; I use as many syllables as necessary to express the idea. Additionally, the three verses must logically follow one another without the thought, or the words getting lost in the clouds. And most importantly, the Euro-Ku must be accompanied by an illustration created by its author.

Parece mentira que un país europeo se meta donde no lo han llamado y a defender lo indefendible… pero es verdad y da vergüenza. Este vídeo, aunque no estoy de acuerdo con sátiras políticas, lo dice todo y demuestra lo que el mundo entero esta pensando del gobierno español.

It’s hard to believe that a European country would intervene where they haven’t been called and defend the indefensible… but it’s true and it’s shameful. This video, although I don’t agree with political satire, says it all and shows what the whole world is thinking about the Spanish government.

GRACIAS
