Morelia. Without losing its essence festival, the World Meeting of Poets Latino paid tribute to the author of Desert of dreams, Ali Chumbley, who died hours before the end of issue number 12 of the conclave of poets who met poetry in 17 countries Michoacan's capital. The authors stressed that the heritage to new generations Chumacero focuses on lyrical depth together with the formal perfection.

minutes before starting the final table of readings and formal homage to English poet Luis García Montero, the Mexican writer Hugo Gutierrez Vega said that the departure of Ali Chumacero means the transfer of a small group of excellent books of great poetry, where the lyrical depth joins the formal perfection; us her teaching, his work as editor, his sense of humor, his joie de vivre, his claim to the enjoyment of earthly food. He leaves us a lot.

Gutierrez Vega said, is a pity that (Chumbley) has been spoiled: he was just 92 years-plus percent were missing, although the director of La Jornada Semanal also recognized that the poet Nayarit "wrote his books and was silent, as Juan Rulfo, and Gorostiza. They felt that their work had been completed, there was no need to add more, and Ali continued to work as an editor, but as a poet anymore. And why? He had already written what I had to write, as he had already written Gorostiza Death without end and had already written Rulfo Pedro Páramo and El llano en llamas, that's something we have to also thank Ali: savings. "

Unable to define whether it is good or bad luck, Hugo Gutiérrez Vega linked the death of Ali Chumacero the same time they are performing the most important poetic activity in the country: Only that is a party that he liked a lot, came several times and enjoyed a lot, was in Oaxaca, came here in Morelia. So, this is a double source of shame, but will give us the ability to remember. I think today we will devote all our readings, in addition to Luis García Montero, Ali Chumacero thinking.

For his part, Luis García Montero considered that the departure of Chumbley is a real loss for poetry, first by the quality of his writing, and then because I think it has left human footprint. I have been fortunate to be dealing with it, but most of my Mexican friends consider him the father of poetry, I think that today have a sense of orphanhood.
