Isadoro Saturno (trans. E.R. Pulgar)
A body that is just beginning to define itself discovers the insufficiency of imposed language, and even though it rebels and implodes, the machinery it opposes is a shadow that extends itself, an inescapable question and—ultimately—a condemnation. In dear parent or guardian, the poet proposes a rupture with the agreement of gendered language through the transcription of memory, revealing the injustice of the norm. They who sprint freely in sweltering heat deserve to be a ninja turtle, nothing else.
Isadoro Saturno (Barquisimeto, Venezuela, 1987) is a poet, editor, and children’s book writer living in Atlanta. In 2018, he published his first children’s book Conejo y Conejo with Ediciones Ekaré, which won the Banco del Libro prize for Best Children and Young Adult book. His poems have appeared in various anthologies including PROVEA’s Poesía contra la opresión (1920–2018).
