LLUÍS VICENT BANYULS I FERRANDO (Valencia, 1978) is a musician and poet, better known as Lluís Vicent. He has his roots in the south of Valencia and his childhood, through nature and continued contact with his grandparents, marked him.
His first encounter with music is a broken guitar of his father that he used to play in secret. There comes a time when the guitar and song lyrics created by him are combined, already in adolescence.
At the age of 18, he began learning classical guitar. He stands out with Manuel Collado and Toni Iñíguez (Giner Musical Institute).
There is also its definitive connections to the city of Valencia and the commitment to certain groups.
He has also been in other groups and experienced other genres and currents. It would soon include poets from all lands and languages.

CIUTAT SUDARI is a book of poems that seeks certain roots in Allen Ginsberg. I don't want to say anything that coincides with the Prologue by the poet Manel Alonso, because it is better that you buy the book and read it yourself. Also, I don't want to spoil…
In the first part, there is a return to the roots, to the search for a loss that contrasts with the harshness of the cityl. It's like that crib called “Rosebud” that apeeared in “Citizen Kane”. There is a little of that in this collections of poems. But, immediately, that past is longingly sought is replaced by the present that the city implies and that does not present any positive aspect and, above all, in linked to death.

INTERVIEW
We'll start with generalities…
To what extent have your southern roots influenced your personality and creativity?
How did childhood affect your musical and literary production?
Why did you secretly play the guitar?
What did you plat on the guitar?
Why did you want to learn classical guitar?
Whith which groups have you collaborated or do you collaborate?
Which Catalan and Valencian poets have influenced your work?
Why this “picoteig” of styles, of authors…?
Why poetry?
Why prose?
How has the pandemic affected you creatively?
Why have you dedicated this collection of poems to the Horta region?
Why this link between the city and death?
Your city is the complete opposite of the Greek polis or the Renaissance city or the capital of culture, encounter, dialogue… Why have you sought to transmit the spirit of automatons?
It is also a city that destroys all creativity. Ginsberg went through a period of “stuck”, which happens to everyone who is creative. When hi lived in India, he asked a guru how he could regain his creativity. He asked him what he wrote about and Ginsberg replied that it was about the city, but taht it no longer offered him news. Then, the guru told him to go out into the street again and try to see a different city with different eyes. That is, with a beginner's mind. He got it and created again. Could you get a different vision of the city that you present in this book?
This first part looks like a comic… Did you have it in mind?
Let's enter the second part thinking that the aura of the modern city par excellence will remove the bad taste in our mouths that the first one had left in us, but no, it turns out that it even worsens the anguish that we have had to experience.
There are really eschatological verses…
García Lorca suffered a lot in New York… Did he see the same city that you describe?
There is an intense distressing search for death…
Can you travel with poetry without having to go sightseeing?

Hello to all the people present
My name is Pepa and I am very happy to be Ana's friend. However, before focusin only on her, I want to congratulate you both. Jose, I know little about you, but I am convinced, as I have observed, that your relationship will continue to be of great quality.
And now I move on to my friend Ana, you already know that we met each other thanks to Toni, the psychiatrist who predicted that we would never get along. As you have seen, he was wrong. By the way, when you meet Toni, remind her for me…
Toni organized minfulness sessions and, in one of them, you and I met. Remember, Ana? In other words, mindfulness contacted us and, little by little, we became friends. I seem to remember that the sessions were every fiteen days in that elegant and beautiful bookstore in front of the Palau del Marquès de Dos Aigües. Was his name Leo? Then, some of us would have a cup of wine or a beer in the cafeteria of the Hotel Inglés and I would accompany you to the corner of your house and then continue towards mine. I met other people in the Mindfulness sessions, but only the friendship continued with you, because the time came when we met from time to tiem th chat and catch up on our respective lives.
When the boostore closed, I left the Mindfulness sessions, but contact continued with you and, although there have been periods in which we have seen little of each other or spoken little on the phone, the trust and security in the relationship have always been there.
I could say many things about you, but there are more people whi will want to talk… The first characteristic of yours that I admired was your enormous organizational skills. Do you remembrer those weekends when we locked ourselves in some center outside the city to have marathon mindfulness sessions? You were always the one in charge and everything always turned out very well. Also your ability to sacrifice yourself: you were the first to enter, to welcome us, and the last to leave, to leave everything in order.
Another quality of yours that I have enjoyed has been your ability to listen, being patient while listening, and energy to propose solutions. I could talk for a long time, but you never interrumped and when I finished, you started asking me questions to offer options for help. You handle active listening very well. Much more thant talking about yourself, when you have had so many reasons to do so and seek comfort and understanding.
Before finishing, I would like to tell you that you are a person who puts great passion into things and your experiences and the fact that you are very courageous despite the difficult moments that you have had to live through.
And, in closing, I want to return to Jose. First of all, Ana's friendship has been a gift that I value very much and that I will try to continue taking care of. And now to both of you: may your life be full of meaningful, rewarding and enriching moments.
A very strong hug.

Tourism, which not so many years ago was a fairly minority activity, has become the «pestilence» of the 21^st century.

A bit of history

Tourism arose thanks to the establishment of 2 weeks of paid vacation in France in August 1936, thanks to the Popular Front government. It was one more step towards the welfare state and a kind of comensatory «reward» for not receiving the salary they deserve or for working fewer hours.

From its establishment, unions, associations and religious groups tried to make the most of the workers' free time, also contributing to their education. It was, therefore, a «social tourism», which proposed activities and holiday camps for workers.

Capitalims gets in the way

It did not take long for capitalist companies to take control of tourism and expand the offer. They have turned tourism into one of the most productive businesses of the 20th and 21st centuries.

«Traveler» or «tourist»?

The first is «the person who moves from one place to another, usually distant, by any means of locomotion » . It is a minority and has always been a «rara avis» for the rich ones.

The second is «the person who travels for pleasure» or so it is assumed. Its first purpose was adventure, although it was very quickly distorted.

Travel or tourism?

The journey is linked to the «journey»; tourism, to the destination.

The first begins in our mind, begins at the door of the house and ends when we return or decide to stay on one of the «stopovers». Odysseus did so back to Ithaca, his home. The duration of the itinerary is important; as well as the discovery it implies.

On the contrary, the tourist «transplants to another place» to reach a destination. As for the time, it is short, comfortable and anodyne.

Novelty turned into a habit

Today vacations are not understood if it is not going somewhere and the obligatory question is: where are you going on vacation? No one asks: what will you do this vacation?

Tourist disappointments:

1. When the tourist arrives at his destination, he begins to think that he was better at home, although he will never confess it to anyone.
2. They will find that their last trip is very similar to the previous ones...
3. When they arrive, they will find thousands of tourists like them who remind them that they are common tourists.
4. The authenticity promised by the travel agency is false.

«Have a vacation» or «go on vacation»?

The first is a right that our ancestors fought for. It provided us with rest.

The second, a capitalist mandate that turns us into consumerist slaves but that does not bring us enjoyment and does bring us tiredness.

Adventure or chronicle of a destination foretold?

The traveler goes on an adventure without expecting anything. The tourist arrives at previously chosen and designed places where he meets other tourists. It does not aspire to surprise, but to receive a concrete service. He is not interested in cultural discovery or taking risks or going out to explore, but in being ordered, as a good consumerist, what has been programmed for him: rentals, means of transport (bicycles, skates, sailing boats, camels...). The ultimate is the «complete package».

Is there such a thing as tourist "magic"?

No, because everything is pre-arranged and your only interlocutors are waiters, hotel receptionists and tourist shop salespeople. The former go to «enjoy» and the latter to «serve» them.

Tourism models

Organized or airbnb.

The «non-places» of tourism

They are exactly the same all over the world: airports, ports, «boutique cities», theme parks, railway stations, petrol stations, motorway rest areas, shopping centres, border areas, urban peripheries where the disinherited are crowded... These are places of confinement for tourists so that they consume even more. Example: «tropical paradises».

Is there such a thing as sustainable tourism?

No.

There are more options...

To ask ourselves why this eagerness to go out, to privilege the itinerary or the means of transport.

Precisely, in this section, I would like to introduce an option that is becoming fashionable and that demonstrates the insatiability of capitalism: sexual wellness as a tourist destination. This is how the New York Times reported it on November 22...

Tourism to discover the world or to escape from your daily life (forget it)?

Let the reader answer himself in a courageous way...

The author of the collection of poems that I present today, Amparo Peris, is from Valencia and studied Law at the Complutense University of Madrid, a city where she has lived for almost 20 years.
She has worked as Coordinator of International Courses at the Valencian Library and at the Spanish Academy in Rome.
She has organized literary activities at cultural conferences such as «Ventanas» (windows) and «La Poesía está de moda» (Poetry is fashionable), at the Fine Arts Circle of Valencia and at the IVAM.
Her journalistic vocation has taken her, in «Las Mañanas de la Radio» (Radio Mornings), to «El Rincón de Amparo» (Amparo’s Corner) (Valencian Municipal Television), where she recommended books for all ages.
She was awarded «La Pluma Montblanc» from the Magazine of the newspaper «El Mundo» for an article about women.
She has oriented her creativity towards the epistolary genre, stories, thrillers, social and love genres, and poetry.
In Retazos, which is the book that has brought us here today, she shows us fragments of lives, stories and, above all, love poems, a love that goes beyond what we understand by such a word.
For Amparo, literature is a passion and, through language, she verbalizes life in moments, looks, fiction and reality.

I would like it to be Amparo who talks about his literary production. I think the best launch ceremony would be to do an interview that all of you who have come to join us could complete.

I start with some questions and reflections:
Your poetry, Amparo, seems fundamentally narrative to me. And I base it on a definition about it: «That which tells a story. Their length and complexity vary from one poem to another and they are not usually dramatic. The verses try to be objective and the metric scheme and rhyme are usually regular». In your case, I think the story of the emotions you express stands out… Do you agree?

It's a poetry that gives great importance to memory, often conveyed by melancholy. Why?

It also greatly values friendship…

Music and love, dance and love, tango and love… What were you looking for in that link? In the tango poem, furthermore, the rhythm is very set…

In your poetry, the poetic voice expresses itself through dialogue and continually demands a response.

Despite negative responses from the «you», despite failures, heartbreaks… the narrator of her emotions does not lose a single moment of excitement and hope for the future.

Geography also plays a role in your poetry since you link it to love and they are usually emblematic places.

Your reflection on fear as a brake on freedom.

Why Virginia Wolf, Marguerite Duras and Sylvia Plath?

Federico García Lorca is another of your references and your poem «Navegando por tu cuerpo» (Navigating through your body) seems very Lorca…

And, in philosophy, Plato…

Or erotic literature like Lady Chatterley’s Lover…

How has cinema influenced your poetry?

Your poem «Feroz» reminds me a lot of «No hi havia a València dos amants com nosaltres» (There weren’t two lovers like us in Valencia) by Vicent Andrés Estellés.

The incidence of sensual love in many of your poems.

Do you think that the biographical component is fundamental in the work of poets?

The sea is another constant in your poetry. What metaphor or symbol does it represent?

And then there is painting: Hieronymus Bosch’s paintings and Courbet’s «The Origin of the World». Why those paintings and those artists?

And, of course, the great narrator who was Guy de Maupassant…

If Vicent Andrés Estellés (Burjassot, September 4, 1924 – Valencia, March 27, 1993) had been a plastic artist, I would have put him between Realism and Expressionism. Probably as prolific as he was as a writer.
Perhaps for this reason, the Estellés that Jaume Plensa sees is not the same one that admires Antoni Miró. Furthermore, let us not forget that Estellés, in the Mural of the Valencian Country, tries to pay homage to a group of writers and visual artitsts through the poetic word. Our poet already said that, during his writing, in addition to Neruda and Baudelaire, he was accompanied by Picasso's Guernica, the Poster for the Congress of Catalan Culture by Joan Miró, and the memory of the murals by David Alfaro Siqueiros and Diego Rivera.
But let's start with two Estellesian learnings from his youth, because he projected his hands on bread as a baker and on precious metals as a goldsmith before replacing them with radical realities transfigured into poetic words as a result of instinctual obsessions of sex and death.
Despite everything, we cannot ignore that the poetic work of V.A.E. it has a spatial dimension with a strong topographic component that goes beyond the literary representation of spaces and places. We can see this in the omnipresence of its spatial images and in an approach to interpretative itineraries of meanings. As well as in the poetic and discursive functions of places. There are his dazzling interpretations of the house, the urban world, the country… To articulate a poetic and political discourse.
Until now, the «plastic» Estellés. I leave the way open for an investigation of the influence of the plastic arts on the poet.
Next, the link between the Catalan sculptor Jaume Plensa and Estellés; and between our poet and the plastic artist Antoni Miró.
In 1956, Estellés composed the twenty-one poems that make up L'Hotel París, although the book did not see the light until 1974, when it was published by Edicions 62. But it was not until 1984 that one of those copies fell into the hands of Plensa, which then he lived in Berlin. He was so fascinated by the power of his verses that he decided to draw, paint and interpret them immediately. Thirty years later, he honored him by releasing an artist's book: a box that collects this very powerful text and the creations of the sculptor, Plensa / Estellés / Paris Hotel.
Plensa himself remembers how he contacted the poet through Valencian friends. Once introduced, they went to Malvarrosa to smoke and drink. The sculptor admits that he has never tried to meet the artists who have interested him. Estellés was an exception: he needed to meet the man and he has never regretted it. He assures that thew Valencian's work has accompanied him all his life and considers that Hotel París is a fundamental book of poetry. The problem is that Estellés is little known outside of home… And hidden by his leftist ideology. However, although the poet gave it permission to create the artist's book, the publisher did not give it to him. He had to wait. According to Plensa, what he has in common with the poet is the «mediterranean» which is not a country, but a place, a state of mind, an approach to the very particular reality of our environment, a place where things are not they touch, but they caress each other…
In the end, Jaume Plensa said of Estellés that, «as a good Valencian, he was a wild man and as a good poet he had no idea about art. He only knew about life».
As for Antoni Miró, I will limit myself to reading what V.A.E. wrote about him and his family:
TO THE FRIEND ANTONI MIRÓ
After recovering from the May crisis, I write
the first poem to friend Antoni Miró.
the name of friendship
I will tell you in plain words.
toni miró
sofia
ausias.
are the names of permanent affection,
of love,
of friendship for a lifetime.
I have shared bread and salt with them
and now I'm the happy man, thinking we're friends
lovers,
friends.
now I have written this and I am happy,
because I know tghat in a place of alcoi,
on the road that goes towards ibi,
they live in the «sopalmo» farmhouse, they make love,
they make bread and slice it, at the table with friends.
and I am happy about that, about their existence,
I find myself old and screwed, locked in my house,
I can't go to alcoi, we call each other often,
like that time I called him on the phone just because
sofia told me,
how to do the escalivada.
toni miró, painter,
that I met in alicante
and I tried in altea
I admire him and it's a lot
what I appreciate him as a person,
and more
as a painter.
I know how much and what his honesty is,
creo saber cuánto es su amor,
por lo que hace, I think I know how much his love is,
for the beings that accompany him,
sofia,
ausias.
and I want to leave the testimony here,
of my friendship and
my deep,
sweetly felt,
admiration.
because, painter,
has known how to do,
the best work of art.
life with sofia and ausias.
I finish, then, and close.
good day,
see you around.
any day I will be at the farmhouse.
and I will eat vegetables, vegetables products.
sofia.
good day toni.

Good afternoon to all those who wanted to join us today at La Intersindical.
I want to be brief because it is not my words that are of interest, but those of the protagonist of this call: FERRAN NAVARRO I SORIANO, born on July 29, 1965.
I will not expand on his musical career, broad and intense, nor his immense musical knowledge. You can find all this on the Internet and, above all, on the cover of this magnificent book that reveals so much information to us about our musical history in particular and cultural history in general.
First of all, I would like to quote the fragment of an interview I did with him for the Catalan magazine of cultural associations, TORNAVEU: «The book is the story of a war told from a musical point of view: how our soldiers sang, fought and paraded in the Civil War»
Secondly, I would like to briefly report on the content of the book.
There is a first part of a theoretical nature that allow us to understand the history of this compilation of music and lyrics and a second part dedicated to the SCORES.
As for the first part, it begins with an introduction by Josep Guia I Marín and a Prologue by J. Eduard Beneyto I Mateu.
Next, the author develops a set of topics necessary to understand the musical history of the book: historical background, use of double reed instruments, percussion, sound symbol of the Maulets, musical iconography, prohibitions in festivals and in music, musical ripostra, participation of Estrela Roja of Benimaclet in the Miquelets of the Kingdom of Valencia, other scores, musical and historical chronology and conclusion.
And I won’t say anything more about it because Ferran Navarro tells it much better in the book than I do…
That’s why I would like, after speaking to us himself, if you would let me ask you some questions. As a kind of «appetizer» of everything you want to know:
Why did you feel the need to write the book?
What characterizes you musically?
How did the project come about and how did it evolve?
Why has it been considered exceptional?
Who has participated?

I will introduce the presenter of the book, the poet Maria Fullana, and, very briefly, its author, Rafel Sena.

Second: write a passage from the POV of an informal narrator who distorts the facts. It may be misleading or deceptive. Readers should note that it is very unstable.
Third: imagine an incident in a highly frequented public place (supermarket, department store…). An employee argues with a customer. Describe that crash in the third person. Take into account the thoughts of those characters.

Fourth: go back to the discussion exercise in the department store and write a passage about the same incident from the saleswoman’s POV, and another from the customer’s POV. Who has the most interesting POV on this incident?
Fifth: using omniscient POV, write a scene at a wedding.

Ninth: imagine a protagonist. Give them name, body and details. Imagine that you are pursuing an abstract objective and a concrete goal that works out.
Thenth: give your previous protagonist internal and external obstacles to achieve his goal. In the end, it creates a big dramatic question.
Eleventh: write a story with a protagonist. It must focus on the big question and have a beginning, middle and end, with climax, crisis and consequences. You should not exceed 500 words.
Twelfth: go through all the characters you've created, choose one, and find a great question for him. Then, imagine a runner and say where he goes and why. Focus on the climax.
Thirteenth: create a complete outline for a short story, short novel or a novel. It should begin with the protagonist leaving on a journey. The destination could be near or far, but the story must end when the protagonist reaches his destination or returns to the starting point. Develop an approach, a middle and and an end, a crisis, a climax and consequences.
Fouyrteenth: get into the skin or a character. Write in the first person a character who is going to send a difficult letter. Then, the same thing about another character. They must be of a different gender or differrent ages.
Fifteenth: write a fragment from the POV of an informal narrator who distorts the facts. This is a very unstable character.

Twenty-second: think of some place from your youth that you know well. Write a story describing it in detail. If you don't remember many, use your imagination. You can ask someone who remembers it better.
Twenty-third: choose someone you know. Rename it and add new features. Don't use a single adjective or adverb. Use verbs and nouns…
Twenty-fourth: write a story using simile, metaphor, lyricism, alliteration, onomatopoeia and synesthesia.
Twenty-fifth: choose a significant detail from the previous story. Review the entire story paying attention only to that detail. Let the description be neither long nor overloaded, but rather brief and effective.
Twenty-sixth: describes a housewife. From his POV she relates a description. That she is in love and that emotions colors the description.
Twenty-seventh: the same character from the previous story must have broken off a love relationship.
Twenty-eight: write down a conversation you had recently. Try to be very faithful. Write it all down. Pretend you're transcribing it from a recording. Write the name of the character and, next to it, what they said. Then, write it as if it were a literary story.
Twenty-ninth: adds paragraphs and notes to the second dialogue of the previous exercise.
Thirtieth: summarize the previous dialogue in a story. It reflects the facts, hints at the personalities, the tension…
Thirty-first: a person stops to get gas and a dialogue begins with the employee. The customer must be very uptight and the employee must be very lonely and want to chat.
Thirty-second: write a story with a partner. Describe them. One of them suspects that the other has been unfaithful and the other feels guilty. Let them have a dialogue in which suspicion does not give way to saying exactly what they think. It could be during dinner.

Through shared discoveries and debate among colleagues.
WHAT DOES THE WORKSHOP COORDINATOR DO?
Since she is a writer like you, although with a few more good and bad experiences, she comes to share them with you, NOT to teach you how to write.
Challenge you, encourage you and share with you what you have learned and experienced.
Respect your voice and your stile.
Put a mirror in front of you so you can look at yourself in it.

IS THERE ANY PRIZE AT THE END?
Yes: publish the stories of all participants in an anthology.

CAN FOREIGNERS REGISTER?
Of course: it’s a way to practice in another language and with your colleagues.

HOW CAN I REGISTER?
