OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | Confluencias surrealistas en los poemas 'Había en el fondo del mar' de Luis Cernuda y 'Varios leones al crepúsculo lamen la corteza rugosa de la tortuga ecuestre' de César Moro. Virtual Event Bennington College

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | In this talk, Dr. Lena Retamoso Urbano explores the influence and the impact of the surrealist movement and its innovative writing techniques, and the application of these inventive exercises to liberate the imagination and the unconscious in the two selected poems. Finally, it demonstrates how Cernuda and Moro adapt and transform the surrealist techniques, in order to build artistic texts that although belonging to a surreal horizon, they are able to—in a distinctive and genuine manner—modify it and transcend it.

Speaker: Lena Retamoso Urbano, Lecturer of Spanish, United States Coast Guard Academy

This event will be presented in Spanish.
