IMMANENT

Abstract

IMMANENT is poetry meant to be shared through sound. Created as a call, an evocation—but first and foremost, an invitation to listen deeply, almost like a whisper that calls us to pause. It would not be inconsistent to say that this is a simple yet symbolic gesture that points to the spirit of an era—so fast and increasingly barbaric. Times in which we no longer look each other in the eyes, no longer touch one another. Times without pauses, without idleness, without doubt. Within this discourse, poetry unfolds and expands into sound, light, object, and action, in a collective encounter that seeks to recover the gesture, the state of presence, even if only for a moment. Water the stones, pray to the stones, sit down and offer the stones. It is time to recover (pr)ayers / (he)art-prayers. If immanent is that which remains or resides within—what is inherent, what is part of the essence of something and inseparable from it—then expanded poetry transcends, extrapolates, crosses, and connects. Word, sound, image, matter, body, vibration: immanent is poetry expanded in action and thought transmuted into writing, touch, word, materiality, sonority, spatiality, vibration, care. In this expansion and these displacements, it encounters the other and invites them, warns them, pauses together—PerForms. IT IS TIME TO WATER THE STONES!
