…it seemed that if we could only decide who Vallejo was we might know what his poems mean.
Was this so and if it was, were we just falling prey to some form of the intentional fallacy?
Not necessarily.
It was that these poems were coming from a uneven, multi-leveled and multilayered collage of contexts, only some of them familiar.
It was that the speaker, the subject of discourse, was split, doubled, decentered and on the move.
Axé.
