<p>“Jesús Sepúlveda / Me da en sus poemas la palabra que no fue mía, la vida que no / viví y la experiencia que no tuve (sólo nos  toca una de cada una).” José Emilio Pacheco “Jesús Sepúlveda es nómade, busca, viaja hacia rutas chamánicas en Latinoamérica, se reorienta con pócimas primordiales para llegar al soul, el poeta es el viaje en sí mismo hacia su interior para reconocerse.” Carmen Berenguer “Jesús Sepúlveda desarrolla una poesía que comprende el viaje desde varios ángulos. Como desplazamiento espacial o geográfico, como aventura de descubrimiento interior o como ampliación del campo perceptivo.” Jaime Pinos “Sepúlveda es un poeta inteligente, gran lector, que se maneja perfectamente en una intertextualidad que agrega valores insospechados a su poesía. Entrega un verso original, un verdadero viaje existencial a través de imágenes que nos revolucionan la cabeza vertiginosamente y a él lo sitúan como una voz destacada en el escenario poético actual.” Jessica Atal</p>

Poets on the Edge critically explores the relationship between poetry and its context through the work of four Latin American poets: Chilean Vicente Huidobro (1898-1948), Peruvian César Vallejo (1893-1938), Chilean Juan Luis Martínez (1943-1993), and Argentine Néstor Perlongher (1949-1992). While Huidobro and Vallejo establish their poetics on the edge in the context of worldwide conflagrations and the emergence of the historical avant-garde during the first half of the twentieth century, Martínez and Perlongher produce their work in the context of the Chilean and Argentine dictatorships respectively, developing different strategies to overcome the panoptic societies of control installed throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Martínez recreates the avant-garde tradition in a playful manner to avoid censorship and also proposes a philosophical poetics to stage a utopian project oriented toward redesigning the house of civilization that has fallen apart. Perlongher unfolds his peculiar Neobaroque sensitivity in order to reshape the complex Latin American identities, culminating his poetic project with two collections written under the influence of ayahuasca-based ceremonies. Poets on the Edge offers the reader a new understanding of the hybrid and edgy nature of Latin American poetics and subjectivity as well as of the evolution of poetry written in Spanish during the twentieth century.
