LUIS CARLOS LÓPEZ: A POET WHO LOOKS AROUND HIM

Abstract

We have defined some characteristics of the work by Colombian poet, Luis Carlos López, which we think should be a starting point for its understanding, mainly keeping in mind the critical and realistic perspective from it was created: the use of plastic images by means of “tableaux”; the irony, humor, cynical skepticism and sentimentalism in judging and criticizing social and religious issues, and the sexual ethics of his age, based on traditional values.
