Dimensiones del espacio: el trópico en la poesía de Vicente Gerbasi

Abstract

Some poetries of the 1940s considered space as one of the stronger constitutions of the Latin American culture to distinguish from the European ones. In this context, the discourse strategies to renovate the poetic discourse are renovating the relations between visual arts and poetry and the identification with the poetic subject from the formulation of spiritual landscapes. We consider Vicente Gerbasi’s poetry since Espacios cálidos (1952); there we can appreciate the relation between poetry genesis and the landscape beauty and also the presence of transcendental experiences in the poetic discourse building and showing the typical of Venezuelan culture and the Latin American culture.
