INTERNATIONAL POETRY DAY: OVERSEAS

Date and place

23/03/2018 - 20:00h

Alicante Town University Venue – Rafael Altamira Room.

4, Ramón y Cajal Avenue - Alicante

Presentation   

The recital that we are going to listen to this afternoon is an approach to this mysterious subject we call Latin American poetry. We all know that any choice implies a renunciation, as the cruel saying wisely and torturously says. We only wanted to show some of the poets who influenced the last century in our continent and apply to them the words that Jorge Reichmann once said about Gamoneda: “They listened, they spoke, they were silent. They are unequivocal in the cross they form: the vertical line of the cosmos with the horizontal line of life”.

The situation of poetry is not the same throughout Latin America.  The conjunctural collapse of thought is not what worries – there are people, for example Steiner, who predict worse moments for this old habit that dignified man at various historical moments – in a human geography plagued by threats, lacks and lags like the Latin American one. But what disarticulates is to see that the Latin American poetry, which has been written for a couple of decades, is circulating without critical appraisal and in the hands of a reader who confuses one writing with another because in another not too distant moment, he had already confused a thought with another thought. It is not chance which defined situations: there are some interests – which in practice are disinterests – so that nothing is moved in cultural terms. Our cultures – and poetry came into this game many years ago in Latin America – are inherited to eternity but are not discussed in the present. Poems are written in the present and wait for – again the same – being judged by eternity.

POETRY READING: EROS' TERRITORY

EROS' TERRITORY

Eroticism has not been an easy topic throughout Literature's History, given the myriad of social, editorial and inherently literary obstacles present before reaching the point where it is now. Eroticism and sex have been linked to humankind's society and culture since the beginning of time, and in literature's case it is no exception, despite having frequently been subject to censorship for being considered a condemnable or sinful subject. Likewise, allusions to sex or erotic fragments are also recurrent in major works, not as their main theme but as stand-alone episodes that contribute to the narrative's progression or the characters' development.
