Musuq Illa: Poética del harawi en runasimi (2000-2020) offers a detailed study of the panorama of contemporary poetry written in runasimi (Quechua) during the last two decades. The book explores various thematic, stylistic, and ideological currents of this poetry by drawing on the critical paths of Andean philosophical and aesthetic categories, as well as those of critical theories from other philosophical and literary traditions. Musuq Illa postulates that conversations between critical and aesthetic categories of multiple literary traditions can help us to decolonize knowledge and celebrate the importance of epistemologies and literary aesthetics of traditions historically muted by colonizing hegemonies. Thus, the book seeks to serve as a project of inter-knowledge inspired by Andean concepts such astinkuy and ch’iqchi — confluences that nurture one another, without ever completely mixing, so that the initial courses of their channels can still be discerned. The goal of Musuq Illa is to suggest some ñankuna paths to direct us towards dialogue, understanding, and knowledge of Quechua literature, in addition to continuing conversations with scholars, writers, and students of other literatures written in indigenous languages of Abya-Yala.
