Sergio's Journal
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.sólo
