The Fire’s Journey
Book review
Adéntrate en ‘The Fire’s Journey’ de Eunice Odio, una obra poética que profundiza en la creación y la esencia del lenguaje.
This epic poem, originally published in 1957, follows the journey of Ion, a poet-god who ventures into the universe to confront the Void, the force of chaos that threatens to plunge the world into darkness.
Through a mix of surrealism, narrative and dialogue, Hate weaves a narrative that reflects on the sacred power of language and the poet’s destiny in the world.
The work, which combines traditions from Genesis to ‘Paradise Lost’, is considered a masterpiece of Latin American poetry of the 20th century.
La traducción al inglés ha sido realizada por Keith Ekiss, Sonia P. Ticas y Mauricio Espinoza, siendo este último destacado por su labor en la difusión de la poesía latinoamericana.
