Anna Keiko In Anna Keiko's poems, nature becomes a metaphor for life as a whole. Winds become fluidity. Bacteria, symbols of resistance. Strength becomes light. Depression, an organ. The biosphere becomes the rite of our organism. The body itself. The subtlety aesthetic of these poems reflects their potency as they also become a profound critique of our contemporary socio-political and cultural coexistence. The abuses to the environment give account of the greed of civilization; the simplicity of the countryside, opposed to the savagery of global capitalism. Hypocrisy, discrimination, selfishness, rejection, hatred, are exposed as a denunciation through subtle, almost unrecognizable graphics, but extremely sharp when jumping from one sentence to another. In these images, it is impossible not to notice the notion of place that is drawn between Keiko's lyrics. The romance to one's own, to the house, to the place of belonging, recreate a special materiality for the roots of poetry. But the root becomes rhizome. The verses acquire the same movement of that nature so well detailed throughout the text; and thus, subvert reality. The poet becomes migrant, sometimes refugee, lover of a city, and at the same time desiring passage. Between surprise, resistance and curiosity for the non-places, the spaces of transit; all this, without leaving exposed the paradox of the cruelty of what it sometimes means to change (or to think of) another land, as well as the beauty of discovering a new hidden hideout into the globe. Poems, in short, that evidence the freshness and innovation that today's critics exalt so much about Anna Keiko. Peculiarity imprinted in the pertinence of a poetry that, as Theodor Adorno said, assumes its fiercest critical constitution by being a lucid reflection of a reality told in its smallest detail and plagued with passion.
