Friday in Jerusalem and Other Poems

Meer over het boek

Marco Antonio Campos's poetry serves as a response to the dialogic tradition in Latin American literature, emphasizing morality over politics and personal feeling over rationality. His work shifts focus from historical narratives to the urban experience, transforming poetry into a form of chronicle. This evolution reflects a conscious awareness of identity and social engagement, maintaining a dialogic nature that invites active reader participation. Campos's approach is both a continuation and a divergence from his predecessors, showcasing a dynamic evolution in Latin American poetry.
