Un niño que nació para ser río es más que un libro de poesía: es una historia de resistencia forjada entre lágrimas y esperanza. Dennis Ávila lo escribió para salvarnos de la ansiedad, entre expedientes atascados y noticias que no llegaban a destino. Es un libro de agua, pese al desierto de la espera. Nos alimentó por mucho tiempo. Nos mantuvo a flote, porque Dennis y yo, papá y mamá, conocimos a un niño cuya voluntad nos enseñó a persistir en el columpio de la foto, / del que nos enamoramos / porque hasta de espaldas mostró la dirección del universo: él, desde su serenidad, alegría profunda y la certeza de saber que siempre regresaríamos a buscarlo; nosotros, desde la convicción, como un árbol en un acantilado. A Child Born to Be a River is more than a book of poetry: it is a story of resistance forged between tears and hope. Dennis Ávila wrote it to save us from the anxiety of stalled files and news that never came. It is a book of water, despite the desert of waiting. It nourished us for a long time. It kept us afloat, because Dennis and I, mom and dad, had met a child whose will taught us to persist In the picture waiting in the swing / We had fallen in love with, because / Even from behind, we could see the direction of the universe: he, from his serenity, his profound joy and the certainty that we would always return to find him; we, from conviction, Like a tree on a cliff. PAOLA VALVERDE ALIER
