Abstract

CASTRO LEE, Cecilia. The Humanized Word of Jaime Siles' Poetic Maturity. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2010, vol.1, n.1, pp.65-76. ISSN 2145-8987.

The focal point of this essay on the poetry of Jaime Siles (Valencia 1951) is the analysis of two books of poetry, Himnos tardios (1999) and Pasos en la Nieve (2004), which the author himself considers his mature work. In his early poetry, Siles seeks purity of form through a learned and intellectual poetic expression of high aesthetic quality and originality. His mature work reveals a new poetic identity concerned with his own human condition. His new poetic voice becomes a lyrical meditation on the perils of humankind, the mystery of time, nostalgia and uncertainty, the loss of the past, death and the beyond.

Keywords : Humanization; time; memory; loss; Eros and Thanatos.
