Abstract

RANGEL LOPEZ, Asunción del Carmen. Eugenio Montejo o de poetizar sobre el fracaso como una manera de estar en el mundo. Valenciana [online]. 2011, vol.4, n.8, pp.35-56. ISSN 2007-2538.  https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v0i8.213.

In the poem “Alphabet of the world”, the Venezuelan Eugenio Montejo seeks to restore the relationship between man and nature, indeed, his desire to decipher the secret order of the cosmos in the interest of writing poetry about it. It also makes clear his conscience Montejo as modern poet, inability to achieve full or just the word and prayer that the lyrical subject swore in an effort to say everything, to cover everything. It also describes about the presence of the Orpheus myth in some moments of his poetry, his propensity to return to the mythical world. These features, as noted in the article show a deep connection to various topics of the Romantic movement.

Keywords : Latin American poetry; modern poetry; Romanticism; Orpheus myth.
