¿Súplica inaudible? Poesía y violencia en poetas colombianas

The impact of violence in Colombia, experienced throughout the twentieth century, and exalted in the intensity of the armed conflict imposed on society and privacy since the sixties and mid-second decades of the twenty-first, have been expressed in different ways by some Colombian creators. This document seeks to draw attention to some literary representations of the subject and the poetic effects offered by its authors, by expressing awareness of the pain that the war has caused. Aware of the devastating repercussions of the homicides, kidnappings and displaced persons that the violence has generated, the authors assume their creative role pointing out the horror and, in the case of the authors, the emphasis on some of a belligerent attitude, deep desolation and skepticism. The styles are varied and particular, as some reflect the trembling caused by anguish and restlessness, others express anguish with a furious or fearful tone, and others a hopeless feeling in the face of a shattered universe. They are generally voices that express individual and collective pain.
