La poesía de Jaime Delclaux

Abstract

Jaime Delclaux Ortíz de Bustamante (Bilbao 1912) murió en 1937 a los 25 años, poniendo fin a una prometedora carrera poética. Si hubiera podido desarrollar su sensibilidad, habría llegado a ser una de las voces más significativas de la poesía vasca contemporánea. Su único libro, de unos 100 poemas, se publicó en 1943 gracias al interés de amigos que reunieron su obra en Poesías (Antología). Este trabajo pretende ser un homenaje y un acercamiento a su cosmovisión. Jaime Delclaux Ortíz de Bustamante was born in Bilbao in 1912.
