Gilberto Gonzalez y Contreas - Radiograms

In a mirrored dawn
the bridge is combing
the river’s hair.

Gilberto Gonzalez y Contreras was in exile from his homeland El Salvador following the events of 1932 when he published these haikus. Writing in safety from Havana, the poems are a very strange mixture of romance, political fervour, and a longing for home: the poems match his transition from flaneur and government censor to critic and activist.
