Pena de extrañamiento by Enrique Lihn: Writing as a muse of the street, the hospital and museums

Abstract

Pena de extrañamiento (1986), Enrique Lihn’s book of poems, develops the experience of travelling and its discussion through a fragmentary and circumstantial writing. The poet’s view sets a visual object related to the culture of the late modernity in a reflexive, marginal form, starting from an effective uprooting.
