The configuration of the “lar” in Rolando Cárdenas’s poetry

Abstract

This article analyses the poetic subject’s laric vision in poems from In the Province’s Winter, by Rolando Cardenas. In this text the author stresses the originality and authenticity of life in the province, bestowing upon it a mythical character produced by the transcendent nature of the most common daily activities. Contrary to Cardenas’s laric vision is that of the poetic subject in Jorge Teillier’s poetry, in which the laric is defined by the contradictory emotions it cannot reconcile as it perceives in itself the impossibility of belonging to an original, uncontaminated world.
