Abstract

The present work aims to point out that La suave Patria (1921) by Ramón López Velarde is a
poem in which not only is there an affable song to the homeland, a predominant reading
since its publication, but verses of social criticism with those who extol the necessary nationalist love at a time of national restructuring, such as was the post-revolutionary period
in Mexico. In this way, it is true to point out that there is a patriotic loa in the text, thanks to
the recurrence of traits of loving association with respect to the place of origin, but, also, it is
correct to consider the evidence in the verses of a representation of the context in conflict
to which it belongs, being irony the main tool that veils this criticism and the constant
contradictions that give shape to this piece from Lopez-Velarde.
