This research paper proposes an approach to the poetry book Katatay/Temblar, with special attention to "Cubapaq. A Cuba", the poem dedicated by José María Arguedas to the Cuban island. The study emphasizes that the Arguedian verses represent and promote, by the isotopy of resilience, the ontological continuity of the Indigenous people and their identity claim.

The category of "insufficiency" is widely used in criticism that addresses César Vallejo's poetry; however, frameworks that deploy this category tend to omit that poetry's ethical dimensions. The genealogical method of this paper denaturalizes the concept of insufficiency to show a previously unacknowledged ethical critique of sacrificial history, which emerges through a negative order of perception. Drawing on Maria Zambrano's sociopolitical thought to describe active modes of insufficiency, I argue that the ethos of Vallejo's poetry sought to rehumanize political life by elevating the subject's indivisible constitution as protagonist and author of history, while proposing a responsible anagnorisis in response to the nightmare of tragedy.

This paper analyzes the issue of visuality in Lorenzo Garcia Vega's poetry, focusing on its relationships to visual arts. As I show, the visuality of Garcia Vega's poetry often presents itself under the form of painting hypothesis, i.e., the narration of conjectural paintings. Such narrated paintings--frequently unfinished--aim to bring to the mind of the reader the immediacy and concreteness of what the poet-painter observes, but also that of what he imagines. In this sense, I argue that Garcia Vega's poetry shares with certain avant-garde tendencies their non-representational character, interpreting his focus on the most concrete aspects of our visual field--such as geometrical forms and colors--as a strategy to evade fiction.
