Description

The relationship of the twentieth century Latin American poets with the European avant-garde is an issue that continues arousing curiosity among the critics. In this sense, I propose to analyze the correspondence of Roberto Juarroz (1925-1995) with some ideas from creationism and surrealism. It is pertinent to note that far from solving the possible influence of the avant-garde in his poetry, I intend to leave the question open. Accordingly, I wish to emphasize the insular nature, unique and innovative of his poetic thought in the context of Argentinean poetry in the second half of the twentieth century.
