Bloating After Eating In A Dog



Miguel Ildefonso (Lima, 1970) is the emblematic poet of the "Generation 90", not only for her seven published books of poetry-from Remains (1999) to Hymns (2009) - always well received by critics but also by the important literary awards obtained both at home and abroad. The most recent of these awards is the National Prize for Poetry PUCP 2009, which came with the book exile (PUCP, 2010).

The 23 poems assembled here still the proposal initiated in The symphonic landslides (2008): texts written ten years ago but continued working Ildefonso, radicalizing their own initial proposals. Is renounced punctuation to the narrative, reflections metaliterary and in many of the texts, including the verse. But he remains amazed and torrential speech, which recreates the urban landscape elements from the original images and metaphors.

The novelty of these poems is the greatest distance between the subjectivity of "poetic" and "objective" world in which they live. Thus tends to identify with poets were somehow "exile" of society: Moro, Nerval, Martin Adam. Thus, this paper exile, which competed with other 635 poems by PUCP National Award once again confirms the quality and interest of the poetry of Miguel Ildefonso.
