Entre los poetas míos... #37
Manuel Scorza
La Colección Antológica de Poesías Social está dedicada a la divulgación de una poesía crítica que, con diversas denominaciones (“poesía social”, “poesía comprometida”, “poesía de la conciencia”, etc.) se caracteriza por centrar su temática en los seres humanos, bien sea para ensalzar sus valores genéricos, o bien para denunciar los atropellos, injusticias y abusos cometidos por quienes detentan el Poder en cualquiera de sus formas.
Poesía ésta que no se evade de la realidad, sino que incide en ella con intención transformadora. Se entiende por ello que tal producción y sus autores hayan sido frecuentemente acallados, desprestigiados, censurados e incluso perseguidos por dichos poderes dominantes.
Se trata, en fin, de una poesía no neutral, teñida por el compromiso ético de sus autores.
