"The very existence of poetry should make us laugh. What is it all about? What is it for?"

diferentes partes del relato, separadas por blancos, se proponen como piezas permutables.”

Chapter 4
Chapter 4, "Cuerpo presente: una poética performativa" develops the idea that Lorca's poetics is a performative one, with all that that implies. The title comes from a section from Lorca's "Llanto por Ignacio Sánchez Mejías." The idea of the presence of the body is key here, because performance requires the body on some level. I'll be building off some astute insights from the Lorca critic Roberta Quance and doing a close reading of the Duende lecture.
Not that I'm not interested in the other chapters, but so far 2 3 and 4 are my favorites. It's going to be a really interesting book.
