Description

**Primera edición bilingüe* First Bilingual Edition* Espejo de los detalles es el último poemario del poeta chileno Jesús Sepúlveda. Dividido en cuatro partes, el poemario se configura alrededor de temas recurrentes en la poesía de Sepúlveda: un pasado marcado por la dictadura chilena y la represión política, la crisis civilizatoria y la urgencia ecológica del planeta, la exploración psiconáutica por medio de ceremonias de ayahuasca y la emancipación sensorial del cuerpo. El libro es además un viaje exploratorio de una subjetividad anárquica y rebelde que se desplaza desde la experiencia urbana, representada por ciudades icónicas como Nueva York y París, a la selva amazónica. Es, en cierto sentido, un viaje de liberación radical que concluye con los ojos del ego mirando su propio delirio. Para desenmascarar el mundo, el lenguaje se transfigura en un espejo que refleja su decadencia por medio de sus detalles. Junto a esta imaginería tan personal, los versos de Sepúlveda se articulan con lucidez y precisión, complementando su artesanía verbal con un tratamiento lúdico de la forma. El amplio repertorio cultural de este libro tiene además un aspecto metapoético que juega con la tradición literaria a través de claves que interpelan a un lector de poesía avisado. Por lo mismo, Espejo de los detalles no solo representa un desplazamiento geográfico y psíquico, sino también poético, permitiendo que el sujeto se invisibilice en el lenguaje para continuar su marcha más allá del tiempo y la muerte. Ilustrado por el pintor Ivo Vergara Lasnibat (alias Ivotopia) y traducido por Elmira Louie, este nuevo libro de Jesús Sepúlveda ratifica a su autor como una de las principales voces poéticas vivas del continente. . Espejo de los detalles [Mirror of Details] is the latest poetry collection of Chilean poet Jesús Sepúlveda. Divided in four parts, the collection is configured around themes recurrent in Sepúlveda's poetry: a past marked by the Chilean dictatorship and political repression; the crisis of civilization and the planet's ecological urgency; psychonautic exploration through ayahuasca ceremonies; and the sensorial emancipation of the body. The book is also the exploratory journey of an anarchic and rebellious subjectivity that goes from urban experience, represented by iconic cities like New York and Paris, toward the Amazon jungle. It is, indeed, a voyage of radical liberation that ends with the eyes of the ego gazing upon its own delusion. To unmask the world, language transfigures itself into a mirror reflecting the world's decadence through its details. Along with this very personal imagery, Sepúlveda's lines are crafted with lucity and precision, complementing his verbal artistry with a playful treatment of form. The wide cultural repertoire of this collection also has a metapoetic aspect: it plays with literary tradition through clues that challenge an informed poetry reader. For this reason, Mirror of Details not only represents a geographical and psychic displacement, but also a poetic one, allowing the subject to become hidden in language and continue his walk beyond time and death. Illustrated by painter Ivo Vergara Lasnibat (aka Ivotopia) and translated by Elmira Louie, Jesús Sepúlveda's new book confirms its author as one of Latin America's major contemporary poetic voices.
