Sergio's Journal

 
 
Los ensayos de Sergio Ernesto Rodríguez de Buenos Aires, Argentina constituyen una obra unica, siguienda, y profundamente conmovedora de prosa poetica sobre la vida, la obra musical y social, la tragedía, y sobre el legado de Selena, escrita en literario español florido. Tan personal como las meditaciones de Agústin o de Donne, exploran con una variedad infinita, visitan, y reexaminan no sólo la perfección del arte, de los dones, del espiritu y de las realizaciónes de Selena, sino también las desoladoras preguntas espirituales, que sangran todos los días dentro de los corazónes de todos que han sido captivado por ella y herido por el vacío existencial que está dejado tras de su partida. Si bien a veces hablan al lector, y otras veces hablan a la memoría de Selena, pero siempre con una voz de veneración y de sobrecogimiento, los ensayos de Sergio a veces se parecen ser tributo, a veces letanía, a veces una himnodia que le ofrece a una hacedora martirizada de milagros, a otras veces un poema de amor que le ofrece a una hija o a una hermana fallecida; sin embargo, son todo y no son nada de esos; Sergio's Journal presenta, como dice él, su camino y su manera para preservarle a Selena dentro de su propio corazón y dentro de los corazónes de todos nosotros también, para darnos a los muchos de nosotros que nos sentimos así el consuelo de saber que seamos muchos.

 
 
  The essays of Sergio Ernesto Rodríguez of Buenos Aires, Argentina, comprise a unique, ongoing, and profoundly affecting body of poetic prose meditation on the life, musical and social work, tragedy, and legacy of Selena in florid literary Spanish. As intimate and personal as the meditations of Augustine or John Donne, they explore, and with non-ending variety, visit and re-examine not just the perfection of Selena's art, gifts, spirit, and accomplishments, but the lacerating, unanswerable spiritual wounds that bleed daily in the hearts of all those who have been captivated by her and crippled by the existential void left in her wake. Sometimes addressing the reader, other times addressing the memory of Selena, but always with veneration and awe, Sergio's Journal at times seems tribute, at times litany and hymnody to a martyred miracle-worker, at times a poem of love to a deceased daughter or sister, yet it is all and none of these; as he says, it is his way of keeping Selena alive in his and our hearts, and providing to those many who feel as most of us do the comfort of knowing that there are many of us.

As resources permit, we may find time to provide adequate English versions for all of it (there is one translation), but for now sólo en español (although there are links for Google "automatic translation" of all in the interim).
