| description | The poetry of the Colombian Caribbean contains several recurrent themes pertaining to this region:
mestizaje , hybridity, cosmopolitanism, neoregionalism, “laric poetry” [poesía lárica ], identity, other -
ness, orality. This paper examines the way in which several poets of the Colombian Caribbean (José
Ramón Mercado, Meira Delmar, Jorge García Usta, Gabriel Ferrer, and Raúl Gómez Jattin) develop a
poetics of descent , celebrating the conjunction of the epic and the mythical, sacrality and death, where
the epic is understood as “mythical narration of lived experience”, founded on descent as a category for
valuing the other, including the family and friends, in death or the celebration of life. These poets also
reveal a “laric poetry” or poetry of the home and loved ones: which includes landscapes and the time of
memory, identity of place, but also elegy. In these poems, memory is not tragic, but nostalgic. Memory
is conjugated as specific remembrance, as a song to that which no longer exists; “flowered memory” of
the absent image |

En este texto se propone que varios poetas del Caribe colombiano (José Ramón Mercado, Meira Delmar, Jorge García Usta, Gabriel Ferrer, Raúl Gómez Jattin)) exponen una poética del linaje, en la cual se celebra la conjunción de lo épico y de lo mítico, de los sagrado y de la muerte; de lo épico en tanto “narración mítica de lo vivido”, fundamentado en el linaje como categoría valorativa de la otredad, entre ellos, del padre, la madre y los amigos, merced a la muerte o a la celebración de la vida. Y, además, revela una poesía lárica: paisajes y tiempo de memoria, identidad de lugar, pero también elegía. No es una memoria trágica sino nostálgica. La memoria se conjuga como recuerdo, como canto a lo ido; “ recuerdo florecido”, la imagen de lo ausente.
