Among those poets is Ernesto Cardenal (1925), an emblematic figure of the Sandinista revolution that ended in 1979 with more than forty years ofSomocista dictatorship. Ernesto Cardenal published several poetry books that today are paradigms of what is known as social or revolutionary poetry in Latin America, but which, unfortunately, are not yet studied with the prolixity that their importance requires. This paper will reflect precisely on the ethical-political proposal that Ernesto Cardenal printed in his book Psalms (based on a deep knowledge of political ethics and even religious morals) not only as a new way of conceiving the political fact in Latin America but, also, to found a new way (the "exteriorist", a term he coined) to make poetry. Desde mediados del siglo pasado en adelante, empezaron a publicar, en diferentes países latinoamericanos, poetas que tuvieron como objetivos: por un lado, promover la democracia como sistema ideal para las sociedades de la época e impulsar el derrocamiento de las dictaduras que padecían países como República Dominicana, El Salvador, Nicaragua, etcétera; y por otro, inaugurar una nueva forma de hacer poesía, más comprometida con las causas sociales y no solo con el lenguaje en sí mismo. Entre esos poetas se encuentra Ernesto Cardenal (1925), figura emblemática de la Revolución Sandinista que terminó en 1979 con más de cuarenta años de dictadura somocista. Ernesto Cardenal publicó varios libros de poesía que hoy son paradigmas de lo que se conoce como poesía social o revolucionaria en Latinoamérica, pero que, lamentablemente, aún no son estudiados con la prolijidad que su importancia requiere. En esta ponencia se reflexionará, precisamente, sobre la propuesta ética-política que Ernesto Cardenal imprimió en su libro Salmos (basándose en un profundo conocimiento de la ética-política y la moral, incluso, religiosa) no solo como una nueva forma de concebir el hecho político en Latinoamérica, sino también para fundar una nueva forma (la exteriorista, término que él mismo acuñó) de hacer poesía.
