Vefa Yayınları Bow and Lyre

Product description

“memory’s task is to preserve everything that can be salvaged from reality,” octavio paz said in an interview with the cultural section of the el financiero newspaper in 1994. So, does poetry, or literature in a broader sense, still fulfill the function of being a form of memory? Or did its role as a memory device end long ago? Octavio paz, one of the most important figures in contemporary literature, who received the nobel prize in literature in 1990, is featured in yay ve lir. The poem and the poet, or rather, the journey of the one who speaks and the one who listens, unfolds before our eyes, revealing the obstacles that arise, the mistakes made, the moments of self-discovery, and the moments of loss. Sometimes it’s a tragedy, sometimes a battlefield, sometimes a lonely figure, sometimes a manifesto, and sometimes it’s based on what the aztecs said and what they kept hidden. . . “the act of writing, as an initial movement, seems to separate the individual from themselves, as if casting them into emptiness.” Now, the poet is alone. Everything that had been part of his life and his endeavors just a minute ago is now gone. If he wants to actually write, rather than perform a hesitant literary exercise, the act will break him free from the constraints and prevent everything – including himself – from hindering him.
