Contemporary poetry, palimpsest-like writing, unspeakability, voidAbstract
José Ángel Valente’s work stands among the most self-conscious in contemporary Spanish literature. Its self-consciousness is based on both the uncertainty and insecurity produced by the totally conflicting and unstable nature of his word, whose materiality surfaces through the promise of its appearance or the risk of its disappearance. He views poetry not so much as a perfectly polished architecture but as a site for the continual production of cells and seeds of meaning.
