«Poema a la duración» is the long poem by Austrian writer Peter Handke, published by Lumen in paperback (88 pages, in Spanish).
The poem addresses duration as a lived experience of time, as opposed to measured time and abstract eternity. Handke traces how something from the past suddenly returns and becomes present, and from there reflects on transience, memory, and the secret continuity of a life.
The poem was originally published in 1986, the same year as the novel «La repetición». The translation is by Eustaquio Barjau. Peter Handke received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2019.
For readers of poetry and followers of Peter Handke who want a brief, lyrical, and philosophical work.
