Material Geo-poetics: Rusted and Yellow Landscapes in The Poetry of Gladys González and Andrés Anwandter

Main Article Content

Abstract

The poem collections Calamina and Amarillo crepúsculo show spaces and landscapes that acquire materiality in poetic language. Despite their clear differences, both texts configure space from a materiality crossed by modernity and its residues. The relation between landscape and poetry is studied using the concept of geo-poetics coined by Michel Collot in Pour une geographie litterair. The article purposes that the poetic subjects of these poems pose their looks on the landscapes’ memory understood as a ruin, instead of exercising the romantic contemplation of the sublime.
