La "Sonata del Claro de Luna" de Yannis Ritsos

espanolYannis Ritsos (1909-1990) es uno de los poetas mas influyentes de la generacion griega de 1930, analoga a la generacion del �27 en Espana. Los poetas de esa generacion trajeron el surrealismo a la poesia griega, y, algunos como Ritsos, un claro compromiso politico, reflejado en su poesia. Su obra mas conocida/traducida es de caracter politicamente comprometido, de tono seco y epico. La "Sonata del claro de luna", el poema aqui traducido, es de un lirismo marcadamente diferente, y es menos conocido, aunque sea de una belleza y recursos artisticos impactantes. EnglishYannis Ritsos (1909-1990) is one of the most influential poets of the socalled 1930 generation of Greek poets (analogous to the 1927 one in Spain) who introduced surrealism in Greek poetry, and for some, such as Ritsos, a strong political engagement reflected in their poetry. His most read/translated work is imbued by a politically engaged, stark and epic tone. The poem translated/presented herewith is of a markedly different, lyrical character, and is less well-known, despite its arresting beauty and artistic elements.
