\nCreation is a poem
\n\tPoem, which is “creation” in Greek and thus
\nSt. Paul calls God’s Creation, POIEMA,
\nlike a poem by Homer, Padre Angel used to say.
\nEach thing is like a “like”
\n\t\tLike a “like” in a Huidobro poem.
\nThe entire cosmos copulation.
\n\t\tAnd each thing is word,
\n\t\t\t\tword of love.
\n<\/PRE>
\n— Ernesto Cardenal Cosmic Canticle<\/i>, Cantiga 2 “The Word”<\/BLOCKQUOTE><\/p>\n
Vincente Huidobro<\/A> (1893-1948) was a Chilean poet.  He founded a school of poetry called “Creacionismo” or “creationism”<\/p>\n
“Creacionismo was  the apotheosis for Huidobro, a space where the poet could assume a role as the divine.  In his poem “Arte po\u00ef\u00bf\u00bdtica” (Poetic Art), the final verse reads:  “El poeta es un peque\u00ef\u00bf\u00bdo Dios” ‘The poet is a small God’ (Huidobro 69).  This verse was the epitaph for his movement.  Creacionismo licensed the poet to become the Creator within their poetic space, where the world of subjectivity was merged into the reality that the poet created. Huidobro maintained that the rise of Creacionismo was solely attributed to him, free of any direct influence.  He describes his poetry as not singularly influenced, “but only by the universe of poetry that has been studied and felt”” (Perdig\u00ef\u00bf\u00bd 42).<\/BLOCKQUOTE><\/p>\n
Here is the full text in English of “Poetic Art”:<\/p>\n
Poetic Art <\/B><\/p>\n
Verse is like a key
\nThat opens a thousand doors
\nA page turns, something takes flight
\nHow many believing eyes look
\nAnd the hearing soul remains trembling <\/p>\n
Invent new worlds and care for their word
\nThe adjective, when it does not give life, kills
\nWe are in a cycle of nerves
\nThe muscle cluster,
\nLike I remember, in the museums;
\nNo more do but we have less force;
\nThe true vigor
\nResides in the mind <\/p>\n
Why do you the rose, oh poets!
\nIt will flourish in the poem <\/p>\n
Only for us
\nLive all things under the sun <\/p>\n
The poet is a small god.<\/BLOCKQUOTE><\/p>\n
A small god making poems as nature creates trees.  Singing them into existence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
