Abstract

We aspire to be capable of universality from our flat terroir; we write -like all men- against oblivion...*.
Palabras Llanas perhaps evokes, in the first place, the Orinoco territory, but the sense it intends is simplicity or plainness in language -its elemental sobriety- a demand as seductive as it is unattainable, especially when it comes to learning a craft as complex as creative writing. It has been difficult to achieve the purpose of not tinkering with the language. Perhaps, as pioneer goatherds, we are just beginning to clear a path that hopefully will be traveled and consolidated by others in the Llanos, the patient work of weaving words that lead to transcend the merely landscape to narrate authentically the spirit or the human effect, to tell from tradition or from the bold experimentation the resonances of the soul: realities, dreams, fictions and hopes. Thinking and practicing an ethereal, fresh language, made up of his own voices that do not reject; however, foreign words, he submits them to the sieve of inquisitive thought, full of tigritude, proud of places and customs, but with a strong desire to fraternize, hospitable as the good "llaneros", with all human cultures. Palabras Llanas is the first compilation of the Writers' Workshop of the Universidad de los Llanos (2016 - 2017). It aims to motivate those interested, especially young people, to share a taste for writing as a creative act.
