DOS ETAPAS EN LA POESIA DE MARIO BENEDETTI. (SPANISH TEXT) (URUGUAY)
type: CreativeWork
description: Mario Benedetti is a well-known Uruguayan writer whose narrative has received international recognition and his poetry has led to the use of a colloquial style in Latin America, to depict a more accurate vision of the reality of the common man. A large group of important Latin American poets began to create poetry which uses the colloquial language with the intention of bringing together poetry, life and history. This thesis provides the background to Mario Benedetti, the man and the poet, together with a short survey of Uruguay's political and socio-economic situation. An analysis and comparison of two books, Poemas de la oficina and Viento del exilio is presented. They are representative of two periods in Benedetti's poetry: the 1950's while he lived in Uruguay, and early 1980's when he was in exile. The first book shows his colloquial style already defined, and the second gives evidence to the continuity of his writing style. (Abstract shortened with permission of author.)
