next academic year will be on both Latin American and Peninsular poetry. My idea is to organize it around the logo- melo- phano- poiesis categories.
I will read Gamoneda, Olvido García Valdes, Gelman, and Milán in the wake of Vallejo. (logos)
Poetry of the image will begin with Lorca and continue with Paz & Gimferrer.
Melopoesis will begin with Darío and Jiménez, and proceed from there.
These are not static categories, but rather pathways into poetry. I don't know what we'll find yet. The wiki on Pound's categories says that they are types of poetry. Absolutely not. They are ways of charging language with meaning.
visuality / musicality / language as such
