Ufff. Me encontré varias joyitas dentro de este compendio que intentó reunir todo lo escrito y ¿diseñado? por Eielson. Me recordó en algunas partes a La Nueva novela, por la propuesta visual. Agradezco también haber dado con su poesía sonora. Gran poeta.

Ichoice Jorge Eduardo Eielson for talking and writing about him because I think the themes that he touch it, are very interesting for example the astrology and the culture of Peru, I think the poetry of Jorge Eduardo Eielson are comparative with others poets of latinoamerican. We need understand the work of Jorge Eduardo Eielson from his departure from Peru, he lived in Europa much years. We can’t read his poems if we don’t link up with the astrology and esthetic of words and expression of langue. The poetry of the author Peruvian describes one relationship about his estates Indians and his preference politics and the conceptual of the mystic and ambient urban. Both its “Vivir es una obra maestra” like others poems, Eielson describes the visual who revolve with pictures that incarnated of the conscience about decadence and the aspiration of reach beyond, Eielson in his one words, wants to melt the reality without dispense anyone. The ambient of mystery and the galaxy are company with themes about cultural modern, like coca-cola, restaurants, cinemas, these themes produce in the poem one ambient of nostalgic and malacology. For his writing style and themes that Eielson show, I think, his work could bought with others poets of Latino-America, like Cesar Vallejo, because both authors in their lyrics narrate aspects of daily life combined with the mysticism and the aspect ontology. For example in this fragment of the poems Eielson titled “Foro Romano”

Todas las mañanas cuando me despierto
El sol arde fijo en el cielo
El café con leche humea en la cocina
Yo le preguntó a quién me acompaña
¿Cuántas horas he dormido?

If we looks well of his narrative and the pictures that he describes in his poems, we could understand one ambient of loneliness and despair, the “I” poetic this one in ambient without nothing else than he, and the author describes the sensation of him, with adjectives like “compruebo que la leche está helada” “el café encendido yace como el petroleo”. We could understand that Eielson describes of the feelings about dead person, because everything what surrounds its cold and nobody answer the questions that the “I poetic” make. Other things what we could understand that the person who’s describes Eielson is dead, it because of the first part of the poem the “I poetic” answer: ¿cuántas horas he dormido?, As if the time cant passed in the place, and sometimes he describes the time something like far away. Also the “I Poetic” often remembers his past with the present, like the novel of Marcel Proust “In Search of Lost time”, where the protagonist combined his past with his present.
We conclude that the poetry of Eielson it’s a turning point of much views, we link together the poems of Eielson with an others poets, like, Raul Zurita. It’s important in my opinion, watch these poets latinnoamerican also the view of exile.
