Synopsis "Poemas perversos (in Spanish)"

Esta antología de veintinueve creadores universales, representados por algunos de sus más perturbadores poemas, constituye un mundo sensible, que distanciado de los preceptos establecidos, funda sublimes imágenes en la aventura del conocimiento interior. Una cuidadosa selección de textos donde la libertad extiende su dominio, nos guiará por los laberintos de las más intensas pasiones humanas, iniciando con autores como el rey Salomón o Safo, pasando por los malditos (Villon, Baudelaire, Verlaine), hasta llegar a Pessoa, Pound, Auden, y otras grandes voces de nuestro tiempo, que se han arriesgado a soñar el destello de la transgresión, en audaces momentos expresivos. El presente título de la Colección internacional Los Conjurados, compilado y traducido con un alto criterio estético, se ha editado para el placer de quienes todavía creen en la poesía como un irremplazable escenario de sedición espiritual.

Sappho of Lesbos (c. 630–570 BC) was a prominent Greek poet of the Archaic period, born on the island of Lesbos. Her work falls within lyric poetry, characterized by the expression of personal emotions and deep feelings. Although much of her output has been lost, fragments remain that reveal her mastery in the use of language and meter. Among her most famous compositions is the "Ode to Aphrodite", the only complete poem that has survived to this day. Other notable fragments include Fragment 31, which intensely describes the sensations of love, and Fragment 16, which reflects on beauty and desire.

Sappho was recognized in her time and later as one of the great poetic voices of antiquity. Plato called her "the tenth muse", and her influence continues in Western literature and culture. Her poetry, focused on love and beauty, has been the subject of multiple translations and studies, including bilingual editions such as those by Juan Manuel Rodríguez Tobal. The island of Lesbos, her place of origin, gave its name to the term "lesbianism", partly due to the theme of love between women present in her poems. Despite the limitations in the preservation of her work, Sappho remains an emblematic figure of lyric poetry and the expression of female subjectivity in literature.
