This dissertation argues that a critical mass of politically committed Nicaraguan writers developed an approach to poetry to articulate their revolutionary hopes not in classical Marxist terms, but as a decisive rupture with the present order that might generate social, spiritual, and natural communion. I use the term “volcanic poetics” to refer to this approach to poetry, and my dissertation explores its vicissitudes in the political and artistic engagements of writers and poets who either sympathized with, or were protagonists of, the Sandinista revolution. -

Retazos Intrincados Sobre Roque Daltón
Retazos intrincados sobre Roque Daltón Juan Francisco Montalbán Los escritores, a menudo los poetas, se convierten en arqueti po, intenso y por veces arbitrario, de sus países. Hijos sensibles y atentos de su tiempo y de su sociedad, bohemios o austeros,, com prometidos en ocasiones, vociferantes o discretos, su vida acaba siendo con frecuencia un símbolo de las tierras que les vieron nacer, gozar y sufrir, y de la lengua que heredaron de sus padres. En la vida, obra y muerte de Roque Dalton se lleva todo ello al extremo. Los años que pasé en El Salvador, país ya de por sí legen dario, me sirvieron para comprobarlo. Llegué allí a mediados de 2001. Mi primer contacto con Dal ton, de quien apenas conocía el nombre, y su estela, entre mítica y maldita, se produjo pronto, en la presentación de una recopila ción de los artículos periodísticos del poeta David Escobar Galin- do, uno de los negociadores de la paz, en los ochenta, por el bando gubernamental. Lo que iba a ser un acto literario conven cional, resultó emotivo. Uno de los intervinientes, Geovani Gale as, escritor, polemista, decidió convertir, a su estilo, sus palabras en un desagravio de toda una generación, la suya, de militantes de izquierda acérrima, seguidores vitales de Roque Dalton, hacia Escobar, a quien ahora reconocía como un gran valor literario e intelectual, un hombre generoso de entendimiento y reconcilia ción, de paz y de letras «a quien habíamos condenado a muerte» por la cerrazón y el sectarismo imperantes en el momento. Así se expresó: «Alguien que no se haya batido nunca a balazos o a puñaladas o siquiera a golpes, que no haya estado justa o injustamente preso, alguien que no haya vivido el vértigo de las plazas de toros o la sordidez de los burdeles, alguien, en fin, que no se haya aventurado, como quiere el bolero, por esos mares (o bares) de locura, no puede ser un escritor, según el conocido dictamen de 51 Ernest Hemingway.. -

More Than a Musical Vision in 1981, When Writing the Introduction to Peter Garland's Book Americas: Essays on American Music A
More Than a Musical Vision In 1981, when writing the introduction to Peter Garland’s book Americas: Essays on American Music and Culture, 1973–80, composer James Tenney described Garland as “. literate in the broadest sense, and deeply concerned with problems of contemporary culture in more than just its musical manifestations.”1 Over the thirty years since, Garland has forged a rich body of music unmistakably his own, in which musical and cultural values are interwoven. This aspect of his music sometimes eludes listeners or critics who cannot get past the music’s surface, and who interpret simplicity or “radical consonance” only as a musical statement (as if Garland were a reactionary). But Garland’s journey as an artist has always been with a larger view of music as an element of culture, with the role of a composer to make music that assists a cultural vision. He has been remarkably consistent on this path, since outlining his aesthetics in Americas: “A l l systems, musical or political, boil down to the single person, our own bodies as the principal field of action, on the private and collective levels. Stripped even further down, we are left with the earth and nature. Two fields of energy and action, interdependent. Personality is absorbed in natural forces, and re-emerges, humbled and strengthened. Any possible return of the sacred in Western culture and life will come from this . rooted . literally.”2 Garland’s field of action has not been, like most composers, the music world or its subcultures. His deliberate choices of lifestyle and social interaction, as well as his definitions of career and success, have led to a somewhat self-inflicted obscurity. -

Roque Dalton and Hi Roque Dalton and His Father
GRINGO IRACUNDO Roque Dalton and His Father Roger Atwood Independent Scholar Abstract: In prose and poetry and throughout his career, Roque Dalton used the life story of his U.S. émigré father to explore the themes of power, dependency, and identity that interested him and other Salvadoran intellectuals of his era. Yet it was a theatrical image of Winnall Dalton, that of a marauding, gunslinging cowboy, that other writers took as fact and that became part of the poet’et’s posthumous reputation. I show here that the image of a western outlaw is wrong and that Winnall Dalton came from a comfortable, Mexican American family in Tucson that had fallen on hard times just before he migrated to Central America around 1916. Dalton delved into the paradoxes of his own upbringing—raised in a working-class neighborhood as the illegitimate offspring of a millionaire, a Marxist revolutionary who was the son of pure capitalism—almost until his death in 1975. Taken together, the shifting depictions of his father all point to a fuller, more nuanced understanding of Dalton’ss views on power and the nature of identity than previously understood in the con- text of the revolutionary struggle that ultimately consumed him. Roque Dalton—poet, journalist, essayist, and legendary literary �ame- out—wrote often about his U.S.-born father Winnall Dalton and his mi- gration to El Salvador. Through the �gure of his father, and through an image of his father that evolved from that of a distant, deep-pocketed pa- triarch to a caricatured cowboy �gure, Dalton developed his ideas about oppression, identity, and the relationship of the excluded to the powerful. -

Taberna Y Otros Lugares Y La Musiquilla De Las Pobres Esferas: Un Opaco Diálogo En La Soleada Habana
Taberna y otros lugares y La musiquilla de las pobres esferas: un opaco diálogo en la soleada Habana An Opaque Dialogue in Sunny Havana: Taberna y otros lugares and La musiquilla de las pobres esferas CAROLINA REYES TORRES Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago de Chile [email protected] Resumen: Enrique Lihn y Roque Dalton confluyeron en La Habana de mediados de 1960 en su calidad de artistas visitantes. En sus respectivas carreras, ese tiempo se vio materializado en dos libros fundamentales para ambos escritores. En el caso de Dalton, a finales de esa década publicóTaberna y otros lugares que le valió el premio Casa de las Américas de 1969. Por su parte, Lihn, después de dos años en La Habana y de regreso en Chile publicó La musiquilla de las pobres esferas, uno de sus poemarios esenciales. A partir de los poemas “Con palabras” y “A Roque Dalton”, el primero de Dalton dedicado a Lihn y el segundo a la inversa, se analizan ambos poemarios para visualizar una serie de convergencias y deslindes que comparten estos dos libros basales de la literatura latinoamericana. Istmo. Revista virtual de estudios literarios y culturales centroamericanos 39 (2019): 29-39. Palabras clave: poesía salvadoreña, poesía chilena, Enrique Lihn, Roque Dalton, Cuba revolucionaria Abstract: Enrique Lihn and Roque Dalton converged at some point in Havana in the mid-1960s as visiting artists. In their own careers that time was materialized in two fundamental books for both writers. At the end of the decade, Dalton published Taberna y otros lugares, which won him the Casa de las Américas prize in 1969.
