- Abstract
This article proposes an approach to Sílithus (2020), the work of Enrique Falcón published during the pandemic period. For this purpose, the study is divided around two axes: the contextual framework and the political proposal of the collection of poems. First, we understand Sílithus within the culture wars of the present time and, more specifically, the wars that settle the (im)possible futures. In a neoliberal context, which blocks and kidnaps the political imagination, the poetry book emerges as a counter, as a counter-hegemonic narrative that seeks to open the way to other forms of social organization. Secondly, we enter fully into the textuality of Sílithus and the two worlds it imagines. The first, governed by the authoritarianism and violence of the «archons», is opposed to the second, led by the Elder Sisters and by the children of the days, whom they summon with their songs. We enter, then, into the interior of a poetic and political gear that contains within it the formulation of a complex historical, social and cultural system.
