José Ángel Valente: the classic as resistance

Meer over het boek

José Ángel Valente views poetry as a means of resistance against the entrenched meanings imposed by power structures. His work is deeply influenced by classical culture, from which he draws inspiration. Valente emphasizes the importance of exploring fertile emptiness or silence to forge a poetic language that transcends conventional understanding, allowing for the discovery of new realities. This approach not only seeks to articulate the ineffable but also aims to create new dimensions of existence through the power of poetic expression.
