Nota introductoria de Verónica Murguía
This is a poetry that not only discovers the beauty of the tiny or difficult to explain, but also creates beauty in the act of naming. In few poets as in Bracho, the form is the substance and vice versa: each word is placed with exceptional deliberation and instinct. The need for beauty is added to the need for precision. A poet of the landscape, of eternity contained in a second, of light and love, Bracho is capable of transforming the description of a wasp flying over the water into a beautiful image that attempts to reveal the multiplicity of time. The philosophical or sensual mood is not unaware of the wounds in collective life: the historical future, the violence that hides like a poisonous seed in actions and ideas, the cruelty of the world, the functioning of political power, the abyss in which edge We Move, All this worries her and she approaches it without fuss. Reading Bracho is allowing the entry into consciousness of a poetry that, like "the stone / that is going to fall / changes the well / and the water..." will leave us more exposed, more sensitive and more alive.
