Materia en el dolor usada. The poetry of Francisco Alonso Ruiz

Abstract

Although little known, the poetic career of Alicantine Francisco Alonso Ruiz Pérez (1948-2018) establishes –decisively– a bridge between two shores that seem irreconcilable for the genre in the city of Alicante: the brilliant and splendid first postwar promotion of poets Alicante and those generations closer in time. In any case, his recent and surprising death has made the ordination and study of a work that exceeds half a century dedicated to cultural activity more urgent. Take into account his evident textual drama, anonymity between provincial bohemianism and lag regarding any generational horde. The following article aims to identify some visible signs of what we might call poetic.
