by José Emilio Pacheco (Author)

Poemas escritos entre 1983 y 1986. El poeta mira, imagina, evoca la profecía apocalíptica cumplida durante los dos grandes terremotos de 1985.


La desastrosa mañana de aquel septiembre de 1985 la tierra que destruimos se hizo presente . Un fatídico terremoto demostró hasta qué punto nos aborrece la tierra: / nos ve como insectos / torturadores que la roen por dentro . Su devastadora venganza puso en evidencia que es el nombre profundo de la muerte . Los sobrevivientes vamos a hacer / otra ciudad, otro país, otra vida? / De otra manera seguirá el derrumbe .


Renovador constante del quehacer poético, en Miro la Tierra --reunión de poemas escritos entre 1984 y 1986--, José Emilio Pacheco le otorgó un nuevo valor a la poesía al poner de manifiesto sus facultades de crónica y testimonio: acto de justicia histórica hacia quienes nos legaron la consigna de recordarlos.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


Poems written between 1983 and 1986. The poet observes, imagines, and evokes the apocalyptic prophecy fulfilled during the two major earthquakes of 1985.


On that disastrous morning of September 1985, "the land we destroyed made itself present." A fateful earthquake revealed "to what extent the earth loathes us: / it sees us as insects / torturers gnawing it from the inside." Its devastating vengeance laid bare that it "is the profound name of death." The survivors ask, "Are we going to build / another city, another country, another life? / Otherwise, the collapse will continue."


A constant innovator of poetic practice, in Miro la Tierra--a collection of poems written between 1984 and 1986--José Emilio Pacheco bestowed new value upon poetry by highlighting its capacity as chronicle and testimony: a historical act of justice toward those who left us the mandate to remember them.
