El sentido primero de la palabra poética.
Antonio Colinas
Biblioteca de Ensayo / Serie mayor. 59.

THE BOOK

We can not always manage to contemplate the phenomenon of the poetical creation from the experience of the creator, from an existential and not exclusively theoretical optics. In this book Antonio Colinas submerges in poetry following the example of several classic, modern and contemporary authors. That way he transmit us his Poetics, but with extreme freedom, from heterodox assumptions and, simultaneously, avoiding the explanatory dryness and the common methods. So the not only interprets the life and work of the poets he loves, but he includes crucial moments for the development of the tradition, while he does a emblematic valuation of other forms of the art, and also the places and cities where the first poetic word surged. From Hesiod to Rilke , form Virgil to Ezra Pound, the Poetics of the most important poets are analyzed; there are also Spanish poets (Manrique, Machado, Jiménez), t Portuguese (Pessoa, Torga), as well as a complete chapter on Maria Zambrano and the confluence of his thought on poetry. In other occasions (Zambrano, Montale or Neruda), the creators talk with the author, in interviews about first sense the poetical word must possess.
