Stella extragaláctica.

“No, the poetry is not a biological equation. The poetry, if you could define it –because is indefinable- is a sentimental burst, is a memory of another sentimental burst, nothing else”.
That’s the way Stella Díaz Varín refer to poetry, who is known like the boxer poet, the first punk woman and the most radical in Chile.
She was born in La Serena in 1926. Since she was a girl, under the influence of her dad, an anarchist who inculcated his politic ideologies to her, she starts to publish a lot of articles and poems in local diaries. However, her dream was studying medicine to specialize in psychiatry, absolutely sure about the idea of scrutinize in the human brain to know the dreams of the man.  But she didn’t finish her studies and started to write in a few newspapers like El Siglo, La opinion, El extra, La hora, etc. Unfortunately, she had to renounce her job because the government of Gonzàles Videla pursuing her like to many militants of communism.  A deep hate for the government joined to Enrique Lafourcade and Enrique Lihn, and together tattoo a skull intheir arms, a blood compact that consisted in kill the dictator.  
She’s one of my favorite poets; she had a deep and singular voice, her poetry is disconsolate, but strong, hopeless, but determinate to fight. She had a creative personality; she expressed her dissatisfaction with a feminine perspective with ad underground language, with items like the death, loneliness, and feminine condition show an inseparable relation between her life and her creation. 

run to the hills.

Hello everybody. Today I want to talk about a picture that I like. To think of my favorite photo is very difficult to me, because I love photography so I have a lot of photos that remind me special moments.

I decide to choose this photo because reminds me a very happy moment. It was taken in December of 2009, the last day of the year by the ex girlfriend of one of my friends. We were walking to Paseo Yugoslavo, this place is in Valparaiso and is very famous and crowded on the celebration of New Year.  We were very tired because no one remembered how get there, so we walked and to go up a thousand hills. Arrive there was difficult, a real crossing, but it’s worth it. I like t because these days was very special to me, I enjoyed a lot because was an opportunity to share with my friends.  

In general, Valparaiso is one of my favorite places. As well as being beautiful, is special to me because I had have many special moments there. For example, my boyfriend lives there, in Cerro Barón, and I always go to visit him. We go to many places, like bars and coffes, but some days we just go for a walk. Valparaiso for me is a mix of things, like music, sounds, colors, smells… a lot of feelings and emotions that makes me happy… that makes me feel alive.

If is necessary... kill the president.

Hello everybody, today I want to talk about the current situation of Chile, especially in the area of education. This new movement compared with the old one, that happened about five years ago, known as “Revolución Pingüina”, bring us new problems to be solved.

In this country exists a great inequality in relation to social classes which is reflected in many aspects of daily life. The example that is most closely to us and most affects us is the quality of education given by the state. Everyone could be affected by this, because nobody is insured economically, and sadly, in Chile, the access to education is proportional to the socioeconomic status: the capacity to face the high tariffs that change according the national economic growth and not for the incomes of common people. So… what are we talking about?  

I defend totally this cause, because I considerer that is fair fight for ours rights. The education is a basic right and the most important tool for humans.

I didn’t go to the demonstration last Thursday because I think with one march we don’t change anything, specially with the oppression that we are living, not even let us manifest our discontent. I believe in more radical ways to face this problem.

The government should start to listening the people’s voice and what they needs and should give what belongs to us. And stop thinking like a big company and not make decisions in benefit of their pockets.
