Hugo Salazar Valdés: Forgotten Poetry
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
This essay presents the poet Hugo Salazar Valdes as a writer of mandatory knowledge to build the panorama of Colombian and Latin American poetry. Its uniqueness as a writer is awarded to two fundamental facts that are key to the fate of every poet: the region where he was born: the Chocó, the hidden littoral and the time he had to live: the thirties and forties, a time marked by the liberal ideas of the country, and determined by a dependent backward country that was forging inside the fateful sign of violence, a product of social inequalities and regional and racial exclusions.
