In many Malvinas' War tales, monster apparitions like inhuman beasts, ghosts, zombies, exhausted bodies, etc, are frequent. Commonly they are told in a grotesque way, it means in a mix of comic and tragic but mainly tragic way. So the grotesque becomes in sinister. Even though in a former sight the monsters are characterized by their difference, according to the Freudian conception the sinister is produced because of the coming back of something familiar that became strange in the repression process.

After the review, commentary and analysis of the poetic and critical texts, interviews and essays of Leónidas Lamborghini (Argentina, 1927), this article works on establishing a context on the most important problems of his ars poetica, and on clearing the imprecise judgments produced by the critics over the years. This is relevant because Lamborghini's poetic project has not been fully understood and has not been considered regarding the poetic and metapoetic texts, its limits, proceedings and aesthetic problems.
