Synopsis "Medea (in Spanish)"

Como fragmentos de un largo monólogo, los poemas nos indican, con la acotación justa, el devenir dramático de la protagonista, una Medea anciana que dialoga consigo misma sobre el dolor y la culpa de haber matado lo que más quiere. La voz sostenida de Medea ahonda en los prejuicios heredados, los conceptos asimilados, como motivos de su desgarro. Y dialogando con esos ecos, los versos llegan al fondo primigenio y ancestral de todas las acciones humanas. Y con ello el libro se propone, no ya como una meditación sobre la culpabilidad femenina, sino como un doloroso proceso de curación.

Chantal Maillard (Brussels, 1951) has been living in Málaga since 1963 and, currently, also spends long periods in Barcelona. With a PhD in philosophy and a full professor of aesthetics and theory of the arts, she taught at the University of Málaga until 2001. She lived in Varanasi, where she specialized in Indian philosophy and religions. She is the author of Indian Diaries and Spindles, as well as numerous essays, including Against Art, the most recent. Considered "one of the most intense, honest, and radical poetic voices of the current scene" (M.L. Blanco, El País), as a poet she has published, among others, the volumes Poems to My Death (1994, Santa Cruz de La Palma Award), Spells (2001), Fuzzy Logic (2002) and, in this same collection, Killing Plato (Marginales 218), which won the National Poetry Award 2004, and Threads followed by Which (Marginales 243), which deserved the Andalusia Critics Award and the National Critics Award in 2007, Hainuwele and Other Poems (2009, Ricardo Molina Award in its 1990 version), The Wound in the Tongue (2015), Which Diminishing (2018) and Medea (2020).
