Politics and Verbal Play: The Ludic Poetry of Angel González

Cover
Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press, 1995 - 229 Seiten
As he describes this process, his loss of hope for political change in Spain led to his abandonment of faith in the poetic word. Moving away from poetry based on a fusion of everyday experiences and universal history, he entered the world of literary games. Instead of mirroring personal history or events in the world, he turned toward poetic jokes, verbal play, and parody. As the poet himself has noted, he converted his critique of society into a critique of language and his own powers of expression.
