In Quince, David Rosenmann-Taub undertakes the analysis of fifteen of his own poems. This major author has often been referred to as hermetic. Here he opens doors for us to some of the many levels of his poetry. The commentaries show that nothing has been left to chance: every word, every silence, every phoneme, every rhythmical figure, is at the service of the meaning. For this reason, the scores of the poems are fundamental.
A CD of the poems read by David Rosenmann-Taub is also included.

“The beauty of a text lies in the precision of its truth. Since we exist in what does not exist – time – it would have satisfied me, as a lad of fifteen and thousands of questions, to come upon the answers that I offer in this book. An answer, if it is exact, generates new and more exact questions: our path becomes complicated, but with serene desperation: solidly.”

Quince forces us to rethink the structure of reality.

In Auge, the poet sets out to reach the summit – golgotha and paradise – of the mountain of consciousness, to know himself and, thus, to know the reason for being here: the science of living – dying– in order to be born: needle, thread, basting of the permanent: substance and goal of his work: a marvelous festival, atrocious and inevitable.

Los Despojos del Sol
(The Remains of the Sun)

David Rosenmann-Taub conceives of habitual living as a being outside – a passage without return: a living (and a dying) – without “finding out”. The Remains of the Sun begins with the break: consciousness becomes present: man knows himself. What was experienced, before knowing oneself, is to exist; what is experienced now, not to exist..

País Más Allá
(Country Beyond)

The consciousness of awakening when no longer forming a part of here. What is the reason for growing? What is the reason for remembering? Every day we carry the corpse of the day before. Every instant recedes infinitely. Tomorrow, our today, is an unattainable prospect. To have participated in existence will be to have inhabited a country that is beyond us.

El Cielo en la Fuente / La Mañana Eterna
(The Sky in the Fountain/ The Eternal Morning)

Two episodes in the history of the soul are developed within the conceptual challenge and the sound-magic of Jesusa’s journey and Pedrito’s plenitude: the affirmative no and the intoxication of the truth, two of the many levels of both poems.
