La intuición en la poesía de Nadia Escalante Andrade

Abstract

Nadia Escalante Andrade (Mérida, Yucatán 1982), the winner of the 2013 Ciudad de Mérida Intentional Poetry Prize, is a Yucatecan poet interested in the theater of the body, philosophy, photography, astrology, and botany. In this essay, I analyze the concept of intuition and the representation of space in his four collections of poems: Adentro no se abre el silencio (Tierra Adentro, 2010), Octubre. Hay un cielo que baja y es el cielo (Textofilia, 2013), Sopa de tortuga falsa. Y otras historias (Editorial Montea, 2019) and La raíz negra de los astros (UNAM 2023), to show the relational dynamics between the terrestrial and extraterrestrial elements of his poetic production to open ethical, aesthetic, and metapoetic questions.
