Temporada en el Mundo de Ramón Zapata Acosta: coordenadas poéticas y existenciales

Abstract

Such is the title of Dr. Ramón Zapata's last publication in book form. It is a personal anthology that gleans among the most elaborate poetical life productions of the regretted author. In a way, it sounds as a literary response and counterpart, perhaps, to Une saison en enfer, Arthur Rimbaud's rebelious production of 1873. Both poets stress, in fact, although in opposite directions, the autobiographical and religious dimensions. But while the illustrious French author missed the light until the final days of his ephemeral life journey, Zapata's extended vital pilgrimage was a path of increasing and joyous illumination, that is to say a homo viator‘s spanning way towards to-morrow and transcendence.
