Ajy Tojen by Raquel Jodorowsky

Autor Raquel Jodorowsky
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 sep 2022
Afterword by Margaret Randall Introduction by Pedro Casusol Poetry Dual-language parallel text (Spanish / English) 164 Pages ISBN-13 : 978-1-953377-17-3 $17.95 (paperback) This facsimile edition of Ajy Tojen reproduces in its entirety the 12th issue of El Corno Emplumado/The Plumed Horn (Mexico, October 1964), devoted entirely to the work of Raquel Jodorowsky. Born in Chile in 1927, and naturalized Peruvian since the 1950s, Jodorowsky traced an oniric and magic-realist poetic work that marked an essential connection between the American beat generation and the Latin American avant-garde. At the same time, the bilingual poetry journal El Corno Emplumado (1962-1969), directed by Margaret Randall and Sergio Mondragón, planted the seeds of a global mass poetic exchange at the birth of the student movement in the 1960s. This facsimile edition of Ajy Tojen celebrates the legacy of both Jodorowsky and El Corno, preserving the integrity of a historical artifact that informs us about the past, present, and future of Latin America.

Notă biografică

Raquel Jodorowsky (Iquique, Chile, 1927 - Lima, Peru, 2011) was the first daughter of a Jewish-Ukrainian immigrant couple who settled in Chile during the 1920s, escaping from persecution in their homeland. She was the older sister of artist, filmmaker and author Alejandro Jodorowsky. Her childhood was spent in the province of Tocopilla, and she began her literary career in Santiago by winning a youth poetry contest and the Municipal Prize in 1949. Shortly thereafter she won a scholarship from the Peruvian Ministry of Education to study anthropology at the Universidad Mayor de San Marcos in Lima, where she settled for the rest of her life. She lived in Peru for more than fifty years and obtained Peruvian nationality in the 1950s. Between 1961 and 1964 she toured the American continent, especially Mexico and Colombia, with the purpose of promoting her work in poetry and painting. She was associated with the Generation of the 50s in Peru, which counted among its ranks writers and poets such as Blanca Varela, Jose Maria Arguedas and Julio Ramon Ribeyro, among others. During the 1960s she was a close collaborator of the Nadaísmo movement in Colombia, and along with writers Gonzalo Arango, Jotamario Arbeláez and Jaime Jaramillo Escobar, was one of the most celebrated poets of the landmark Festival de Arte de Cali in 1964. She was also a frequent collaborator of the bilingual poetry collective El Corno Emplumado / The Plumed Horn, founded by American poet Margaret Randall and Mexican poet Sergio Mondragon in Mexico City in the early 1960s. There she published her conceptual oneiric poetry book Ajy Tojen in October 1964, as number 12 of the journal El Corno Emplumado. El Corno had created an important nexus between the North American Beat generation and Latin American poets during the 1960s, and it is in this way that Raquel meets Allen Ginsberg in Lima, where the Beat poet had arrived and was preparing to follow the route traced together with William Burroughs in The Yage Letters (1963). The friendship between Jodorowsky and Ginsberg is one of the most fascinating chapters in the cultural becoming of the poetry of the Americas in the twentieth century. Part of Jodorowsky's work, characterized by its experimental, oneiric and surrealistic style, has been collected in anthologies published in Spain, Germany, Italy and Argentina. Most of her work, however, was only published in limited editions and has long been out of print. Her last years in Lima were spent between book fairs, poetry recitals, meetings with writers, poetry readings and presentations, and she was the recipient of several tributes, as well as a growing interest in her work shortly before her passing in 2011.
