Overview
Con poemas escritos entre 1985 y 1996, en El silencio de la luna José Emilio Pacheco sintetiza hasta sus últimas posibilidades las palabras que animan sus poemas, hasta demostrar que están hechas «de la esencia del mundo».
En la poesía de José Emilio Pacheco se reúnen la imaginación y la memoria, el gozo de la vida y la pesadumbre por el tiempo que pasa. El registro de los temas que abarcan sus poemas es amplio y generoso. Pero, más allá de eso, están la música de su poesía, los múltiples ritmos del mundo—música y ruido—que supo captar su oído prodigioso y la tenacidad de su honda mirada. La poesía es sobre todo ritmo e imagen. El silencio de la luna captura esas dos cualidades que distinguieron a José Emilio Pacheco como poeta.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
With poems written between 1985 and 1996, El silencio de la luna by José Emilio Pacheco pushes language to its limits, demonstrating that his words are woven “from the essence of the world.”
In Pacheco’s poetry, imagination and memory intertwine, celebrating life’s joys while mourning the passage of time. His themes are broad and generous, but beyond them lies the music of his poetry—the many rhythms of the world, both melody and noise, captured by his extraordinary ear—and the unwavering depth of his gaze. Poetry is, above all, rhythm and imagery. El silencio de la luna embodies these two qualities, defining Pacheco as one of the most distinguished poets of his time.
