About this book

This monograph is a contribution to research in modern Chilean poetics. It is the first monograph on the poet Floridor Pérez (born 1937) and represents a critical analysis of his complete works in historical and literary context. His works encompass the spectrum of poetry from children’s poetry to death poems. His poetry displays a pronounced »chilenidad« and autobiographical influence with a tendency towards »testimonio«, expressed aesthetically through techniques such as intertexuality. The originality of Perez’ poetics is higlighted through summarizing aspects of content and form as well as in detailed individual analyses. Alongside these, the monograph offers a picture of the development of Chilean poetry from the middle of the 20th century to today. Perez’ Œuvre proved convenient as an example of the influence of the so-called »generación diezmada« on Chilean poetry. The supplement contains comprehensive documentary material in the form of interviews and letters.
