Una mujer cuelga del calendario, poemario que, a partir de su t?tulo, una exquisita pero aterradora imagen, le anuncia al lector una suerte de reincidencia que este podr? comprobar al escudri?ar su interior. Los poemas llevan por t?tulos fechas que anticipan noticias de feminicidios trasladadas al territorio de la poes?a. Esta desterritorializaci?n de la noticia period?stica y televisiva (que en ocasiones puede adquirir tintes amarillistas) le permite a Kenny Rodr?guez hacer una disecci?n de la realidad que ocupa a la sociedad salvadore?a (y global, he aqu? la relevancia y validez del poemario) desde otro registro: el del discurso po?tico. Esta discursividad permite que el lector se vea frente a frente con esas aristas que la voz po?tica pone sobre la mesa y que le muestra una interpretaci?n de esos cr?menes que representan el miedo, el dolor, la impunidad y la revictimizaci?n de las mujeres y de los sujetos subalternos que pueblan el poemario. A Woman Hangs from the Calendar, a collection of poems that, based on the exquisite but terrifying image of its title, announces to the reader a kind of recidivism that is immediately evident upon scrutinizing its content. The poems have as titles dates that correspond to news of femicides transferred to the territory of poetry. This deterritorialization of journalistic and television news (which can sometimes border on yellow journalism) allows Kenny Rodr?guez to dissect the reality of Salvadoran and even global society (hence the relevance and validity of the poems) from another register: that of poetic discourse. This discursiveness allows readers to find themselves face to face with the issues that the poetic voice raises as it interprets the crimes in terms of fear, pain, impunity and the re-victimization of women and the subaltern subjects that populate this collection.
