'If social criticism means showcase the uni-dimensionality of life and personality dictated by today's capitalist and consumerist society, mediocre and radically stupid, we will undoubtedly find it in Nuevos modos de ser en cocinas diferentes (New ways of being in different kitchens) by Luis Elvira-Sierra. Now, if with this we identify a kind of poetry that aims to shout slogans with raised fists and fiery thoughts, it's not the case. Because here there aren't banners with different slogans, nor concessions to the good conscience of bourgeois culture; there is, yes, resistance. Resisting, above all, to the imperialism of the common sense, to the sentences that don't admit opposites, breaking the chain of meanings that are quickly digested with the docility of the grandmother's recipe transmuted into the McDonalds's hamburger, that are both sides of the same thing. Resisting to a dehumanized world but also to the hypocritical humanism of stereotyped speeches.' Enrique D. Zattara
