The first book-length account in English of Montejo's life and
work. In a study which covers the entirety of Montejo's career as
poet and essayist, this book examines how the work of this seminal
Venezuelan writer explores and deals with the experiences of loss
in the twentieth century. Focusing onthe broad areas of temporal
and spatial loss, the analysis underlines the different levels on
which such experiences are located in Montejo's writing, from the
personal to the national, from the continental to the wider
ontological, all filtered through the poet's own lived experience
of growing up and writing in Venezuela. It explores how the poetic
act emerges throughout as the potential means by which such
experiences can be expressed and through whichsuch loss can be
reversed and, henceforth, avoided. This represents the first
book-length study in English of Montejo's work and the first
monograph in any language to offer a sustained thematic analysis of
his entire output. In the process, it serves to bring out from the
academic shadows one of the most important and commanding poetic
voices to appear in Latin America in the last fifty years. NICHOLAS
ROBERTS lectures in Hispanic Studies at the University of Durham.
