Editor's Note:
Do prefácio de Carlos Bessa:«URBANO BETTENCOURT, MARINHEIRO COM RESIDÊNCIA FIXAAsia que canto continua for muito de cântico. E aquilo que canta, ao contrário do que muitos pensam, nada tem de extraordinário, resumindo-se ao comum, atrever- -me-ia mesmo a dizer, ao banal. Se não vejamos, que há de mais banal do que a morte, o amor, a família, a infância? Lê-se um poeta originário de qualquer ponto do globo e lá estão, por exemplo, a morte e o amor, a família e a infância. Prova de que a huma- nidade é, afinal, uma só, embora cheia de casos e de idiossincra- sias. O que os distingue? A experiência, ou o modo como cada um a recria e diz? Experiência aqui entendida como mistura de vivên- cias, imaginação e invenção, porque sempre se cria (e recria) a partir de referências concretas, e a poesia é essencialmente isso, criação. Comum também, senão a todos pelo menos a muitos, a geografia, o lugar ou os lugares onde cada um descobre, sente e pensa o mundo, com as suas listas particulares e a sua gama de idiossincrasias. A geografia, pois, com gente dentro, com histó- ria e tradição. Com determinada língua e um modo individual de arrumar as palavras. Com um olhar. Nalguns casos, também com cheiros e sabores. O extraordinário, quando existe, está, pois, no modo de arranjar a fala e de compor, na capacidade de criar nexos e sentidos fulgurantes, por vezes com muitas poucas sílabas. Ou na ousadia de mencionar o que outros silenciam, transfigurando em encanto aquilo que, primeiro, é ruído e estranheza.»
