Critical reading of the complete poetry of Rómulo Bustos Aguirre from <The sublime destroyed>

Abstract

The present article about the complete poetic work of Rómulo Bustos Aguirre, corresponds to an essayistic investigation of critical character, which advances in the line of the Colombian poetry of century XX. At the beginning it brings together five authors, through whom the fundamental tendencies of our lyricism in modernity are found. The instruments of critical analysis of this work are qualitative and bibliographic; the perspective of critical analysis is symbolic hermeneutics. The objective on which persists this look to the poetry of Bustos Aguirre, is to demonstrate the different cycles by what has evolved his work, from an instance that exalts the sacred of ceremonious tone in his first books, until instituting a break of their own forms of expression. The result of this tour focus on the aesthetic category of "the sublime destroyed" by JP Ritcher, which links the work of Bustos Aguirre with humor and play in the construction of an imaginary one anchored in the Colombian Caribbean world, with tentacles in the pagan and Christian religious myth.
