Abstract
BUBNOVA, Tatiana. La poesía de Efrén Hernández: visión autoscópica de la vida y la experiencia espiritualThe Poetry of Efrén Hernández: autoscopic vision of life and spiritual experience. Acta poét [online]. 2014, vol.35, n.2, pp.83-96. ISSN 2448-735X.
A series of ethical and religious themes, motives and concerns are shown, which are recurrent in the less, studied poetic work of Efrén Hernández. Standing out are the themes of interior life and spiritual experience, manifested in the search for God and transcendence, in the spiritual journey and autoscopic regard of man, as well as in human love and in the question regarding good and evil. These traditional issues of lyric poetry are treated here in an unorthodox manner. Efrén Hernández uses inversion and irony to subvert the religious motives: the search is a longing for mystical rapture, yet not accomplished, an unfructuous desire of union with transcendence. Likewise, human contradictions derived from the oppositions of flesh and spirit, as well as reason and passion, which lead to a poetic of rejection and renouncement.
