FL joven poeta Jose A. Balseiro ha
dado publicidad una primorosa edi-
cion de su primer tomo de versos:
Flores de Primavera".
Evoco la imagen de aquella manana
estival, tibia dorado, hace mas de
un ano, cuando conoci a este joven por
talira en- amistosa platica literaria
bajo la copa florida de un hermoso ar
Dol, en- medic del bullicio estudiantil de
los campos de la Universidad de Puer
to Rico. No creia que aquel joven, ca
81 un mozalbete, inquieto Y hablador,
"que apenas ell fino bozo de la puber-
tad sombreaba su labio," (Cansinos-
Assens), hubiera sido en- tan preve
tempo padre de libros. Recuerdo que
nos disponiamos tomar examenes
de Derecho Romano, pero todos, aran
tes apasionados de las Buenas Letras,
olvidamos a Papiniano, a Justiniano,
y todos aquellos graves prosaicos
legislatures de la antigua Roma re-
publicana e imperial, Y celebramos re
verente Y piadosa misa por los espi-
ritus inmortales de la santfsima tri-
nidad lirica de Ruben, Herrera, Y
Asuncion Silva.
"Flores de Primavera" es un ibro
fresco, cristalino, ingenuo, candoro-
so, olente rosal en- maiiana de ma
yo. Me trasmite la emocion de un jar
din de abril, lleno de sol, con surtido-
res alegres v susurrantes, Y anchas
avenidas platabandas alfombradas
de rosas, poblado de jilgueros que sa-
ludan con trinos sonoros ell paso triun
fal de los adolescentes que con las
manos enlazadas sonrien entire ell
leve murmullo de dulces palabras de
amor. De una avecilla que, sin temo-
res nj inquietudes, canta sus amores
en- Ia selva virgen.
Mafiana, cuando la espiga del Do
lor prenda en- la fronda lirica de Bal
seiro, sus cantos seran mas emotivos
intensos. Los gritos desgarrados de
su alma herida, sus desdenes, susg re,
beldias, sus interrogaciones al Miste-
rio, sus anhelos del Mas ALA, necesi-
taran un arpa multicorde que con. su
guzla erotica trasmitan sus armonias
interiors;.
No obstante algunos defectillos de
rima y ritmo, la imprecisa orien-
tacion estetica, la pobreza de imagine,
ria modernista, la casi completa au-
sencia de los modos y tonos de ese
