La poesía del 'logos' de Vicente Cervera Salinas

Vicente Cervera Salinas is a poet, a critic and a literary theorist. Like many writers who are also professors, his essays help develop a thorough understanding of his poems, since both professions share the same aesthetic stance towards poetry. For this reason, we will try to interpret his creative writings form the monograph «La poesía y la idea. Fragmentos de una vieja querella», where he studies different stages of the relationship between poetry and philosophy from a diachronic perspective. After clarifying the definitions of 'logos' and 'mythos' and certain aspects of the former that are important for the hermeneutics of his creations, we will focus on explaining the symbolism of his philosophical poetry through the analysis of different theories developed by Vicente. His books «De aurigas inmortales» (1993), «La Partitura» (2001), «El alma oblicua» (2003) and «Escalada y otros poemas» (2011) have been translated into different languages and have been presented in many countries throughout Europe and Latin America.
