Reescritura y tensión utópica en Noticias del extranjero (1959-1998) de Pedro Lastra

Abstract

This article constitutes the most recent work about poetical writing by the poet and essayist Pedro Lastra. All this is shown in the last edition of his book Noticias del extranjero. Thus, based on existent critical writing about his poetry, and specific concepts of contemporary philosophical and theoretical-literary discourse, the book is analyzed in broad terms and in specific fragments, deepening in characteristics already detected by previous criticism, and also giving a new review, which highlights the utopian dimension from the suggestive poetry of this Chilean poet.
