Language is not a country in ruins: the poetry of José Carlos Becerra, Marco Antonio Montes de Oca and Francisco Cervantes

Abstract

This article analyzes the poetic work of three Mexican authors who have been considered within the tradition of "language poetry". However, in addition to analyzing them within this aesthetic trend, this approach also emphasizes aspects related to other important poetic currents that have significantly influenced this poetry, such as colloquial poetry and its intention of clarity. The purpose is to open up a new field of study of these three poets in relation to the whole Hispanic poetic tradition
