La poesía pura de Mariano Brull: eslabón y punto de transición entre generaciones = Mariano Brull’s pure poetry: link and transition point between generations

Abstract

This article is the natural conclusion of an investigation (PhD-funded) on Mariano Brull’s Pure poetry which began in 1996 in the Library of the University of Havana and continued with the publication of two articles on the Cuban poet. To complete our investigation, in this new article we propose a semantic-stylistic interpretation of Mariano Brull’s work (Camagüey, 1891- Havana, 1956) whose figure is located in a tangent area, in a vital crossing. In fact, although he chronologically belongs to the postmodern generation (in this time, 1917, it appeared his first book The house of Silence), he is considered the initiator of Cuban pure poetry.
