Overview
«Tarde o temprano a todos nos espera el naufragio». La poesía de José Emilio Pacheco es la expresión del tiempo que se va y no volverá. Constancia de la fugacidad, el poeta mira con atención y asombro cómo todo se desgasta. Su poesía es el registro de lo que un día fue nuestro y perdimos; de la vida que se escapa como arena entre los dedos.
Tarde o temprano recoge los poemarios publicados por José Emilio Pacheco a lo largo de más de cincuenta años. Desde el primer libro, Los elementos de la noche (1958–1962), en el que se perciben ecos del simbolismo, hasta los poemas en prosa de su último libro, La edad de las tinieblas (2009), el poeta recorrió un largo camino en busca de la más alta y más clara expresión poética.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"Sooner or later, shipwreck awaits us all." The poetry of José Emilio Pacheco is the expression of time that passes and will not return. A testament to transience, the poet observes with attention and wonder how everything deteriorates. His poetry is a record of what was once ours and is now lost; of life slipping away like sand through our fingers.
Tarde o temprano (Sooner or Later) compiles the poetry collections published by José Emilio Pacheco over more than fifty years. From his first book, Los elementos de la noche (The Elements of the Night, 1958–1962), where echoes of symbolism can be perceived, to the prose poems of his final book, La edad de las tinieblas (The Age of Darkness, 2009), the poet embarked on a long journey in search of the highest and clearest poetic expression.
