En la ciudad perdida: la paradoja del espacio en la poesía de Aníbal Núñez

Abstract

The city is at the centre of the existential and artistic conflict of the poet Aníbal Núñez (Salamanca, 1944-1987). The subject and the problem of a significant part of his verse is the natural space. In his work, the city appears as a stage for the lost battle against the action of modern man, who ignores, leaves, destroys and poisons his own home. This article analyses three fundamental points: the sacred spaces desecrated by man in the city, the survival of the sacred in light, and the different metaphors of the city, in books such as Naturaleza no recuperable, Definición de savia, Alzado de la ruina, Cuarzo and Clave de los tres reinos.
