Abstract

This essay discusses the poetry of the Uruguayan Roberto Echavarren, trying to establish relations between visual and poetic language. It demonstrates how poetry interacts, in a critical way, with contemporary cultural life, which is characterized by a strong alienation process, caused mainly by media images. In addition, Spanish-American neo-baroque poetry is viewed here as an aesthetic manifestation in as much as it constitutes a visual form which evidences the tensions characteristic of modem society. Finally, this essay tries to promote the debate of Echavarren's work and other voices from Spanish-American poetic production, not widely read in Brazil.
