Poesía del confinamiento, Pandemia COVID-19, Celia de Fréine, In Search of a HorizonResumen
Este artículo analiza el poemario Léaslíne a Lorg / In Search of a Horizon (2022), de la irlandesa Celia de Fréine, enteramente dedicado al confinamiento resultante de la pandemia de la COVID-19 tal como fue vivido por la voz poética – fácilmente identificable con la propia autora – desde su hogar en Dublín. En los 18 poemas que conforman el volumen, publicado en formato bilingüe (inglés e irlandés), de Fréine reflexiona sobre aspectos tan relevantes como la supuesta objetividad del discurso científico sobre el virus, las relaciones entre el mundo humano y el no-humano, la degradación medioambiental y la relación histórica de la pandemia de la COVID-19 con previas crisis sanitarias en Irlanda, particularmente el escándalo de la hepatitis C. Mi análisis llevará a cabo una lectura profunda de los textos, y adoptará una perspectiva tanto nacional como transnacional. El objetivo último de este trabajo es reflexionar sobre el virus en sus dimensiones socio-culturales con el fin de complementar el discurso biomédico en torno al mismo.
