Major Voices: 20th and 21st Centuries.
Description
“Ella es una blanca Beatriz y, de pie sobre el creciente de la luna, visitará la mar de mis dolores. Bajo su hechizo reposaré eternamente y no lamentaré más la ofendida belleza ni el imposible amor”
José Antonio Ramos Sucre
In the Latin American literary landscape, Venezuelan poetry plays a significant role, though it sometimes goes unnoticed: it is no secret that editorial crises in Venezuela have hindered, for many years (more than we would like to admit), the dissemination of works that, within the country, are considered part of the canon and an inspiration for many renowned authors.
In our classes, we will approach this diverse and nearly inexhaustible array of voices that, over the last hundred years, has shaped one of the richest and most distinctive poetic sources on the continent: from the hermetic prose poems of José Antonio Ramos Sucre to the freer, more urban poetry of the Sardio literary group, and the humble yet profoundly deep mysticism of Rafael Cadenas, winner of the Reina Sofía Prize in 2018 and the Cervantes Prize in 2022.
If you are interested in improving your Spanish through a literature-focused approach, or simply want to familiarize yourself with the lyrical productions of this region, I look forward to seeing you here!
"Se escriben poemas
para los hombres que no pueden orar
La laguna está plena
oscura
azul
densa
el cielo la besa, casi en ovación
la vemos, desde aquí
desde este cuarto pequeño
sin estar allá
sin necesidad
devotos"
