Abstract

QUISPE COLLANTES, Roxana. The lord, the lyricism and the blood: A literary and linguistic approach to the Quechua harawi of Kilku Warak’a in the poetics of Yawar Para. Letras [online]. 2018, vol.89, n.129, pp.172-193. ISSN 2071-5072.  http://dx.doi.org/10.30920/letras.89.129.8.

In this article I analyze some presents resources in Yawar Para (Blood Rain), a poetry book published between 1960 and 1970. My goal is to approach the poetry written by one of the summits of the poetic expression in Quechua, Killku Warak’a (pseudonym of Andres Alencastre Gutiérrez). In Yawar Para, the poet refers to pain as a force that enables the transfiguration and that responds to the absence of loved ones, from the call to filiation and the evocation of blood. I offer a bilingual reading of his poems, as well as a critical look at the mediation of the poet as voice of the runakuna (Quechua men). The method used is the analysis of the poetic resources of the author to express their connection with Quechua. Evidence a llaki phuyu (cloud loaded with sadness) that poured an incessant and bloody rain on the runa.

Keywords : Quechua poetry; Poetic analysis; Cusco; Killku Warak’a.
