The writing of “Elqui Valley” from Poem of Chile: The memory-nature fold

Abstract

A Neobaroque house is produced in Gabriela Mistral’s Poem of Chile. In the section “Elqui Valle” this production is given by folds of thinking –folds of memory–, that enable Gabriela-monad to apprehend the outside and turn it into a kind of interiority where old age, exile and death can be endured.
