for the ambateña Cristina Pomboza M., poetry is the way to transmit to the world. “It has allowed me to explore these other stages, I don’t know what would become of me without poetry, without literature, without being able to express everything artistically. Poetry are spells of love”it states. “Poetry for me is that opening of doors, and that the soul can go out to play, to explore, to say what it lives, what it feels (…) and it is what always keeps me going. moving”, adds the young author about the International poetry day.

This Saturday, as part of the literary reelpresented Witchcraft, a collection of poems in which the eroticism, desires and feelings of women are reflected in a world of letters that fuse symbols and fire. “It is a collection of poems that seeks to give that sacred feminine voice that all beings on this earth have, and seeks it from a poetic voice, from a feminine voice that seeks to vindicate many processes that have been taboo subjects for many centuries,” describes the author.
“The woman talking about her femininity, empowering herself with love as such, love not as an instrument of suffering and struggle, but rather as that feeling that helps you and drives you to achieve goals, starting with self-love”, Add.
Our arms, ropes and ligatures
they melt into a caress;
my legs are lost in yours
and your tongue announces that my mouth is a shipyard
where your desires are built
and cliff where your waves crash
‘Amalgams’, Cristina Pomboza.
He says that the creative process of the work took him a year and a half, during which time he included the engravings of the series Of love and our demons, of the plastic artist Daniela Larrea; images that dialogue with the erotic context that Pomboza purposely added to deconfigure that idea that “women should not talk about eroticism.”
“It is not that now women are being more open, or that now women enjoy or explore eroticism, they explore their sexuality, it has always been, but that social paradigms, the patriarchal structure itself, have silenced us,” the author maintains, that for her writing process she was influenced by Jorge Enrique Adoum, Alejandra Pizarnik and Alfonsina Storni.
‘I am a declared witch’
Pomboza, 34, says she has come out of the broom closet since she was very young. “I am a declared witch”, she sentences her loudly. The also lawyer and cultural manager has never been silent. “I have not cared that they try to burn me at the stake”, points out.
Considers that today women continue to be burned by society. “Now women are not burned in squares and making pyres…, now they burn us on social networks, now they burn us in groups, now videos go viral or they try to sully our honor in other ways”points out the author of other books such as the arctic house (2016) and Poetic City – Anthology (2019).
Pombaza is a member of the Literature section of the House of Ecuadorian Culture, nucleus of Tungurahua.
