Ante el espejo

Abstract

The present work is born as a commitment to understand the act of literary creation by through the introspection that the author makes of himself, managing to capture through poems the feeling that arises from him in this process. In this sense, the proposal is made up of two parts: the essay The abyss in the mirror and the collection of poems Before the mirror. The essay deals with the creation literature through the metaphor of the mirror and the image of the abyss found within this, for this the author divides this process into four sections: notes on the creation literary, reflection, the inner abyss and restlessness. The poetry captures the process emotional that is transversal to the author at the moment in which he performs his act of creation on the restlessness, which is constituted by three phases and in turn are its chapters: saudade, restlessness and hope, in which eleven poems and six photographs are distributed.
