La poesía como denuncia, la música como biografía. Hoy en la torre de babel recibimos de nuevo a William González, que nos visitó hace un tiempo en un programa sobre jóvenes poetas en el que compartió estudio con Omar Fonollosa. Sigue siendo joven pero su carrera es ya más que sólida y su nombre se asocia a los premios más prestigiosos del país. William publica ahora “Cara de crimen”, un poemario desgarrador que ahonda en la violencia que se vive en Centroamérica, que pone voz a la tragedia de los que se quedaron y al dolor de los que tuvieron que marcharse. Con William hablamos de poesía esta tarde en la torre de Babel.También la música implica casi siempre un mensaje, define una situación o incluso a una persona y en ocasiones, con el tiempo, traza una biografía. Es lo que David Francisco hace en su nueva publicación, dentro del sello Frecuencia dedicado a la música en la editorial Pregunta. La fascinación de David Bowie por lo oculto se puede rastrear a lo largo de todas su biografía musical y como esta, atraviesa distintas etapas. David lo cuenta en este libro entretenidísimo que es guía musical pero también retrato del personaje y su contexto social e histórico.

Dicen que su carta de presentación era la muerte de su madre. Ángel Guinda se retractaba de todo lo que escribía, incluso de aquello que ya estaba publicado. Autor de los poemas bala antifranquista, maestro experto en inculcar en sus alumnos el existencialismo que a él mismo le acompañaba, Ángel Guinda fue una persona tremendamente generosa, sorprendentemente divertida y desesperadamente consciente de la vida. Hoy hacemos un 'Viaje de ida' de la mano de Pepe Rubio a la vida del hombre que anunció delante de una clase de niños "yo no he pedido nacer", que tuvo una aparición celestial sobre la poesía y que tuvo que poner una contraseña en su casa para gestionar las visitas de aquellos que iban a pedirle consejo. Este viaje no habría sido posible sin la colaboración de Trinidad Ruiz Marcellán, editora de Olifante, amiga y exmujer de Ángel; Reyes Guillén, poeta, editora de Pregunta Ediciones y amiga de Ángel; David Francisco, editor, cineasta, antiguo alumno en el Instituto Luis  Buñuel de  Alcorcón y amigo; Iñigo Linaje, periodista, poeta y amigo; Luis Gracia Gaspar, profesor, investigador y editor de la antología de Ángel Guinda en Visor, "Me he fumado la vida"; Miguel Mena, periodista, escritor y amigo de Ángel, y Kike Reyes, hijo de Trinidad. Un viaje con la producción de Teresa Truchado Díaz.
