Robert Creeley
Pedazos
(Madrid, Bartleby Editores, 2005)
"Form is never more than the extension of content," declares the maxim put forth by Charles Olson - drawn from a letter by Creeley - in his celebrated essay "Projective Verse." And Pieces perhaps, stands as the work that most effectively embodies the notion of the poem as a center of energy, where writing is conceived as a process and a compositional field—a writing of the continuum, a sensitive membrane. Estranged from the limitations and prestige of outdated formalisms, the poem, Creeley's book, becomes simultaneity and amalgamation (fragments, seams, patches), an ellipsis of a flowing current and a locus of experience.

“La forma no es nunca más que una extensión del contenido” reza la máxima expuesta por Charles Olson –tomada de una carta de Creeley- en su célebre ensayo “Projective verse”. Y Pedazos tal vez sea la obra que mejor articula el pensamiento del poema en cuanto centro de energía, de la escritura concebida como proceso y campo compositivo, escritura del continuum, membrana sensible. Ajeno al encorsetamiento y prestigio de formalismos caducos, el poema, el libro de Creeley, es simultaneidad y amalgama (trozos, costuras, retales), elipsis de un flujo y locus de experiencia.
