Jairo Guzmán has continued his investigation into the fundamental human sense of intuition, which he refers to as the cypher of living things, ever since he published his first collection of poems, which was titled Coro de ahorcados. On the other hand, music, which can be thought of as a sonorous river that flows through his word, is the wellspring of the underground universe that his poetry creates.
Both as a poet and in the way that he expresses himself, Guzmán is a unique individual. “Poems travel through the umbilical cord,” he says openly, remarking that the navel is the origin of poetry and that “everything enters through it.” He says this in a straightforward attitude. The reason he nicknamed his website “the navel of the fish” is because of this concept.
According to what he asserts, “I learned everything through the navel, when I was in the womb.” Guzmán was able to build his early voice through images, rhymes, and personal experiences, all of which were interwoven in his proteic imagination.
He writes poetry from a sense of this prenatal period of existence. The navel, which he perceives to be the seat of his conscience, is the location from which he talks.
Guzmán’s initial readings were images, and he continues to’read’ Sanskrit and Hebrew, but not as signs but rather as images. Through the process of meditating on the symbol as an image, he is able to generate inspiration: “I came to poetry through intuition and concentration.”
Contemplation has an effect on his perspective of the universe because it alters matter, reality, and expands thought. It is a sacred act that occurs before the written sign and is performed not in pursuit of the meaning of the sign but rather in search of its sacred principle.
As far as Guzmán is concerned, the letter is a symbol that destroys verse and breaks all lineality. Following in the footsteps of concrete poets, he is of the opinion that the cycle of poem is finished.
