HIGASHI, Alejandro. Poetry and Knowledge in the Liber Scivias by Claudia Posadas. Lit. mex [online]. 2017, vol.28, n.2, pp.95-123. ISSN 2448-8216.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.litmex.28.2.2017.939.

This text will explore the work of Claudia Posadas (1970), Liber Scivias (2010), where she maintains a dialogue with a philosophical poetry in which mysticism and metaphysics come together. Posada proposes with this work a disruptive aesthetic focused on the subject and in his emotional consciousness, placing her work against a canonical tradition in which subjects are suppressed in order to provide more importance to time and language, as we can read in Muerte sin fin (1939) or in Canto a un dios mineral (1942). This new perspective allows us to go over the canonical place that philosophical poetry holds in relationship with other previous exercises, like Apuntes para una declaración de fe (1948) by Rosario Castellanos.
