An Approach to the poetic work of Antonino Nieto Rodríguez, representative of literary 'Malditism' in the late twentieth century: the dream of artistic liturgies

Abstract

We propose to analyze some titles of the poetic work of Antonino Nieto Rodriguez: polyartist, as he defines himself, versatile, innovative and avant-garde writer. One of the objectives is to review the thematic variety and his very personal view of the present years with a sincere and expressive, truthful and eloquent attitude.  Committed to the human being as an individual and as a society, heopens up to share his most intimate self. We are going to use a descriptive methodology to conclude how his verses drag us to the "Malditism" of the last fin-de-siecular decades, becoming a grammatical disruptor: without stanzas nor versal rhythms, he dominates the phonetic and orthographic singularity; his paragraphs are assembled in pieces in the manner of the Japanese kintsugi, recomposed, shining on their own. Unique, resounding, powerful, different, surprising, hyperbolic, transgressive. Part of the results will be presented as a synthesis of contents, ideas, thoughts, ravings, encounters and misunderstandings, sharp criticism and sweet prayer, bounded hope and foresighted illusion; before this polyantea, any attempt to classify and label it falls apart; this is shown by examples such as: Sudor del agua (Sweat of water), (Terra Natio, Ciudad Real, 2019) and La edad del tiempo (The age of time), (Terra Natio, Ciudad Real, 2019).
