ESSENTIAL POETRY AGUDELO ANTONIO

A poet is measured by their vocation and their perspectives. Antonio Agudelo's vocation is beyond question; poet since his early teens, has continued to delve into the verbal sources to deliver a poem be refined and deep. As for his view, it is at the highest levels of poetic requirement. Mother is a hymn to the same poetry, illuminating the center of the word, the creative spirit of the world. Poems short and deep, in line with Hugo Mujica or Mallarmé, who rescued the first glow of the word lyrical. Poems that speak of the poetic revelation epiphany: that "child cherry blossom front "," driven by lightning, "makes us think of a Rimbaud, a poet who presides Agudelo strain to which it belongs.

This is one of the truest poets of the new generation of English poetry: the Azaustre Joaquin Perez, Pablo Garcia Casado, Antonio Lucas and Eduardo Garcia, Antonio Agudelo generation. Cordoba author's poetry is that "ray of darkness" that we through the spirit, the obscure revelation of the word that wakes up and rises like a geyser. Mother's poems give us the spark that remains after the deep experience of life and death. Love, heart of this poetry, becomes the axis of rotation of the speech. A speech glittering, smooth, deep. Agudelo choose the solitude of the woods "in the same way that San Juan de la Cruz, another of his spiritual mentors, chose the path of verbal revelation.

From the deepest loneliness these poems are born creative, this source of purified water and unique. We must be attentive to this poet, who will give us a profound and different, as another feature of the look of Agudelo is not like anyone. He is alone in his world of radiance. Is the pioneer of a mystical branch and essential in their generation. Valente could think of, but Agudelo has not been necessary throughout the course of earlier work to get to the bare essence, he is already part of the essence:

cry love, love,

your lips torn sed

therefore is a highly original poet. Like Mallarmé, alluded to that before the poet left for the river Styx that one object together with nothing to be honored: the poetic word. Thus the word came to the poet Agudelo in their comings and goings, sometimes leaving certain treasure drops pearls spirit he carries within himself. Here, in the poems of Mother , the testimony of a true poet: one who has reached the top of the visions and then the road has come to bring us back fragments of its talks with the burning bush that is poetry deeper and purer:

once loved a stone,

but the stone shows you the way

to nowhere, to

no

Mother is that stone in the world, the poet shows the way to nowhere. Mother pure Shelley: the everlasting universe of Things . The road to the center of the glow starts here. The reader has to venture into a terra incognita. Verllama : waiting light. So we expect each and every one of the epiphanies in the lyrics of Antonio Agudelo, an essential poet of the new English poetry.
