El ave de la muerte. Luz Pozo Garza, poeta del planto por la pervivencia

Abstract

Luz Pozo is an elegiac author whose work includes plantos and accurate visions of life and death inspired by authors such as Rosalía de Castro, Castelao and Luís Pimentel. These three creators revolve around death and conjure it with the knowledge and the poetic genre of the planto that goes from the word, the gesture, the sigh, the scream, the cry or the weeping to the quiet placid silence. Rosalía was characterised as a llorona and was also accused of being a llorona. Castelao diagnosed the pains of communal planto like his precursor Rosalía and following them both Pimentel tried to cure the evils that cause weeping with medicine of superior overcoming poetry. Luz Pozo Garza is situated in this creative line. The article studies the poet's elegiac production and its peculiar traits and features.
