Abstract

BALLESTER PARDO, Ignacio. Poets on the United States-Mexico Border: Heriberto Yépez and Esther M. García. Lit. mex [online]. 2020, vol.31, n.1, pp.99-131.  Epub Aug 24, 2020. ISSN 2448-8216.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.litmex.31.1.2020.1149.

Mexican poetry in recent years is characterized by the decentralization of some literary practices that have to do with the conflict that occurs on the US-Mexico border. From the work of Heriberto Yépez, Por una poética antes del paleolítico y después de la propaganda (2000), to Esther M. García, with Mamá es un animal negro que va de largo por las alcobas blancas (2017), we can study fission, violence, especially against women, the “telephysics” and humor to criticize the boundaries that cross over multiple poetics and organs of power. In contact with San Diego (California) and El Paso (Texas), the lyric work that has been published in the last decades allows us to understand the cross-border problems beyond the convention.

Keywords : Telephysics; Fission; Borderline; Feminicide; Contextual Poetics; Decentralization.
