Los trazos inaugurales del silencio en la obra de César Simón

Abstract

The concepts of “Poetry and Silence” are mixed making the writer/reader decide: to write or not to write. You can’t be ambiguous. Further from the extreme positions which have led some poets to a voluntary persistent silence, there is a fruitful outlook stressed by Valente, where the “shortness of saying” or “ineffability” are inevitably linked to the possibility it itself “saying”. Thus, in spite of the difficulties related to “saying”, the intention of “saying” is a superior encompassing force. This intention, which is in César Simón’s verses, can be found in the crevice where both poetry and silence are blended.
