"I write because I grew up under the code of the street fight and the game alone, because I do not like to complain, I do not usually criticize, because I adore recollection, because I work as a scientist and poetry seems to me literature with cause, geometry, project and corollary ", thus defines his passion for writing José Carrión, Professor of Evolution at the University of Murcia, essayist and" dissident. "

"Hipocampo", his first foray into the world of poetry, will be presented on Wednesday, October 25, at 7 pm, in the Hemicycle of the Faculty of Arts of the Campus de la Merced in an act in which the professor of the faculty of Education Pedro Guerrero;

the professor of Law Mercedes Farias and the artist Gabriela Amorós, both prologuistas of the work, and José Antonio Molina Gómez, deputy dean of Letters.

Then a dozen UMU professors and staff, as well as various friends and family, will recite poems from the book.

Professor Mercedes Farias defines in the prologue the poetry of José Carrion as "profoundly violent from the formal point of view", dedicated to the feminine, egalitarian and multiform.

"His style is reminiscent of Pollock's canvases," says Farias - "full of fractals and passionate strokes," disconcerting at first and harmonious afterwards.

"Carrión slaps us, wakes us up, encourages us, then leads us through secret gardens," says the prologuista, to warn those who decide to travel through these pages: "Prepare to be shaken, rolled, dismissed, also cradled in tenderness. The goal is noble: knowledge. "

Gabriela Amorós Seller, the second prologuista, talks about the work: "José Carrión is much more than a scientist, he is a true humanist in the midst of those who are barely there, and he knows that the interdisciplinary is the key of knowledge, "and impinges on the autobiographical character of the poems that make up the book:" The word of the poet is confused with his very being, "he says, to conclude that" the reading of 'Hippocampus' is as exquisite as knowledge and as starry and blinding as seemingly foolish nakedness.
