Resumen

Centrado en el poemario Solstice 2020. An Archive (2021), de la poeta canadiense Sue Goyette, el presente artículo analiza de qué modo el abordaje de los efectos de una pandemia mundial a través de la poesía puede llegar a actuar como un poderoso catalizador a la hora de avivar la conciencia de la vulnerabilidad y el luto colectivos. Durante los días de confinamiento de 2020, Goyette entendió que era responsabilidad suya como poeta encontrar las palabras que expresaran el sentimiento de vulnerabilidad compartida que experimentó la gente ante un acontecimiento transcendental que la confinó durante días en sus hogares. Hallando inspiración en el pensamiento del ecofilósofo David Abram sobre el mundo más que humano, en el concepto de transcorporeidad de Stacy Alaimo, así como en recientes disquisiciones teóricas acerca de la pandemia por COVID-19, este artículo sostiene que Solstice 2020 es un documento sociológico de gran relevancia que pone de manifiesto los interrogantes planteados por una pandemia aún en desarrollo y que hace visibles las profundas afinidades entre la humanidad y el mundo más que humano.
