LOPEZ SOTO, Luis. THE IMPROBABLE PURE POETRY AND A MARXIST MEASLES: GILBERTO OWEN AND THE REVOLUTION. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2022, vol.13, n.25, pp.46-63.  Epub Feb 22, 2022. ISSN 2145-8987.  https://doi.org/10.25025/perifrasis202213.25.03.

This article examines two texts by Mexican poet and essayist Gilberto Owen: "Poesía -¿pura?- plena. Ejemplo y sugestión" and "Poesía y Revolución (Introducción a un Baedeker de la poesía mexicana actual, [Escrito en 1931])". I suggest that these texts are two nuclei in Owen's literary and political thought, since they allow us to observe how the author is in the midst of cosmopolitanism and nationalism. In addition, this article approaches Mexican literary generation known as Contemporáneos, to which Owen belonged and of which he is both a representative and a sui generis case.

Keywords : Gilberto Owen; pure poetry; Mexican Revolution; nationalism; cosmopolitism.
