Una mujer cuelga del calendario, poemario que, a partir de su tÃtulo, una exquisita pero aterradora imagen, le anuncia al lector una suerte de reincidencia que este podrá comprobar al escudriñar su interior. Los poemas llevan por tÃtulos fechas que anticipan noticias de feminicidios trasladadas al territorio de la poesÃa. Esta desterritorialización de la noticia periodÃstica y televisiva (que en ocasiones puede adquirir tintes amarillistas) le permite a Kenny RodrÃguez hacer una disección de la realidad que ocupa a la sociedad salvadoreña (y global, he aquà la relevancia y validez del poemario) desde otro registro: el del discurso poético. Esta discursividad permite que el lector se vea frente a frente con esas aristas que la voz poética pone sobre la mesa y que le muestra una interpretación de esos crÃmenes que representan el miedo, el dolor, la impunidad y la revictimización 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 RodrÃguez 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.
