Here is a summary of the great Peruvian poet José Morales Saravia:
(taken from the blog of Paul Guillén www.sol-negro.blogspot.com
The title refers to the poems tradition of the "Roteiro" navigation Portuguese, from which also the Journal of Columbus board to that date.
This genus has two aspects: the practical details of ports and roads, the imaginary gun in the yard of dreams and Le Goff referred to as the imaginary dream of the Indies that enriched the medieval fantasy. The title suggests other links: the obvious sailors Journal, with which it shares the vision of the world, and extramares Crossing, with no linguistic or thematically linked, possible Maqroll Summa of the seaman, with the which is related narrative and the creation of a poetic installed in the nostalgic situation after the trip. This last link brings the question about the plot of the poems, for the construction of time. The poem "Magnets" responds to divide time into a "those days" marked by the experience of the glare and the "now" of the demagnetized magnets and without power: auratic not poesía.Entre time of two times, the poetic and post-back and obsessive and delicately weaves historical network through sleep, memory and recall, synonyms that refer to the same disappointment, terms infused with the same negative experience of this. If the dream was "once an ocean," now "dreams came less" (p.11). 'Dream' here always says 'fancy'.
The poem "Abjuration of adolescents' sleep emphasizes this pollution. In "First Night", if desired poetic "discourse of a remote sleep / wash deep wounds, / restoring the powers" (p. 12) notes, however, that dreams bring "fossil fish algae "(p. 12), remains last in the world of natural history as well. Other poems speak of "underwater cities" ("Invitation to the water ', p. 14), cities whose streets are" invaded by the sand "(" Sea of hallucinated ', p. 15). The sea itself, which is no longer res extensa to sail by the consciousness that no longer offers ports to something other than "stairways decayed" or a rusty washing it drives me crazy with "counts resumed his pipe" ("22 September. New Moon ", p. 59) offers its truth:" 'Dreams are froth' "('Estuaries', p. 30). But if these are contaminated by the negative "now" and have lost their ocean, not the memory, the memory of a dream, has the power to rescue or resume his dream dazzling quality loss. "A recurring dream 'says: "The memory of a dream / that went into the water / and a black tongue and rocky - the blood ran cold -" (p. 42).
ago this collection consistency of the negative portrayal of the ideals embodied in the female figures. 'South Seas' and 'oceanic' deal with them: the poetic uses to evoke the memory and can not say but "Their mouths are full of sand / purple flower buds, / Her hair entangle boats lost "(p. 37). In the texts that form the last section, the image of the woman who emerges from the water - Aphrodite - is maintained poem to poem and its representation ("unhealthy whiteness," "solid swimsuit Prussia, which sticks to your body waxy, now so heavy," p. 56 and 57) recalls the "Venus Anadyomene" of Rimbaud that deconstructs the ideal of beauty Parnassian and also the same classical myth of female beauty.
is true that this collection, to the extent that the notion of unstructured 'dream', does not yield to the temptations katabatic dream of a fantasy, but also that their choice is a fantasy that is housed in modern well- secure emphatic city walls. The first thing is their achievement, in the second, its limitation.
