RE: ADSactly Literature: Annotations or the Vigilant Consciousness of a Poetic (part II)
An artist's work cannot be far from its time. It is not to trace the reality in which he lives, it is to express one's own vision of that reality. To believe that the poet is above some human situations would be to dehumanize him. In Annotations, we see how Cadenas invites the writer to have a more "naked" word, without artifice, that resonates in silence; to have a search for the word from precariousness. Neither the poetry nor the heart of a poet can be impenetrable: the two are crossed by an arrow to death that is called reality. Thank you for this work, @josemalavem. Greetings
Yes, for Cadenas the poet and his poetry must tell you something about/when living, but independently of any ideology, party or religion. It is a commitment to himself and to that human, earthly service, which for him is poetry, assumed from humility and moderation.
Thank you for your comment, @nancybriti.
