Summary
La lei d'este verso es dezir cosas mayores o contrarias que el primero, i assi es mas dificil la parte que responde.
Fernando de Herrera, Anotaciones a la poesía de Garcilaso (1580)Herrera, writing in 1580, underscores the challenge inherent in the responsive poetic utterance. El Divino's comments refer specifically to the performance of the amoeban song associated with pastoral poetry, which he presents as a model of emulative composition. Philosophers of language in the twentieth century suggested that no utterance exists in isolation, indeed the need to respond and the desire to obtain response is enshrined in every communicative act:
Any utterance – the finished, written utterance not excepted – makes response to something and is guaranteed to be responded to in turn. It is but one link in a continuous chain of speech performances. Each monument [written utterance] carries on the work of its predecessors, polemicizing with them, expecting active, responsive understanding, and anticipating such understanding in return.
This essay will explore the voice of a fictional subject, identified as ‘Clori’, who is positioned by her creator, the Córdoban poet María Rosal Nadales, in dialogue with an overwhelming poetic predecessor of the Spanish Baroque period, Luis de Góngora. Rosal was born in Córdoba in 1961, and holds a doctorate in literary theory and comparative literature from the University of Granada. She has published a number of acclaimed poetry collections, including Otra vez Bartleby which was awarded the Premio Andalucía de la Crítica de poesía in 2003.
