Javier Padilla argues that writers in Ireland, Central America, Africa, and the Caribbean sought to capture in their poetry the time of liberation-a moment conjoining the end of colonialism and imperialism and the dawn of a decolonized historical consciousness. The book thus analyzes key moments in the history of twentieth-century liberation movements through poetry and poetics, examining the work of W. B. Yeats, Ernesto Cardenal, Pedro Mir, René Depestre, and Roque Dalton alongside the decolonial theories of thinkers such as Frantz Fanon and Enrique Dussel. These poets reimagined and adapted modernist poetics of instantaneity in order to advance collective aims and bolster the prospects of liberation. While the poetics of temporal rupture can be traced back to earlier Anglo-European traditions, it is in peripheral regions that the revolutionary moment acquired not just aesthetic but also historical and political meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Javier Padilla\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798855808391\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Javier Padilla","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48801212203263,"sku":"9798855808391","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/revolutionary-poetics-javier-padilla-9798855808391","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
