Abstract
BECERRA LAGOS, José Inocencio and BECERRA MAYORGA, Witton. Plants, Animals and Roads in the Poetry of Hugo Jamioy. Acta poét [online]. 2022, vol.43, n.2, pp.87-108. Epub Aug 29, 2022. ISSN 2448-735X. https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.ap.2022.2.178x270s5.
Several works of contemporary indigenous literature from Latin America can be read as a scenario of lyrical and narrative proposal of a harmonious relationship between human beings and nature. Almost always in their own language, each poet criticizes, describes and proposes variants of this relationship, born from the way their people live with nature. In the collection of poems Bínÿbe oboyejuayëng (Dancers of the Wind), by Hugo Jamioy, we have found three thematic axes in which this relationship unfolds: the presence of plants, animals and roads. In this article, we will interpret these presences in some poems, complementing the analysis with the place they have in Camëntsá culture.
