“The image of the city, understood as a universal idea or as a concrete place in the world, from the urban literature, that is, from the set of texts that have an aesthetic intention related to the urban context, is the starting point for the author of this book. Marta Llorente, lecturer of the 2016 edition of the Conferences Marques da Silva Architect, proposes to do in Urban Poetics. “The city of the literary word” is an approximation to the relations between literature and inhabited space centered in the literary tradition in Castilian language, but without fail establishing its relations with European literature, with other literatures and cities that form the spaces where it has been unfolding our life and our culture.”
