Destierro (1930) de Jaime Torres Bodet. El sueño de una sensibilidad lúcida.

Despite its apparent oblivion, Destierro (1930) has been considered by its author and by critics as a collection of poems that represented an inflexion point in the poetry of Jaime Torres Bodet. This paper analyzes Destierro (1930) through one of its main topics: the experience of dreaming. As it will be pointed out, rather than being lost in unconsciousness, dream is represented as a journey of a lucid sensibility looking for a new poetic expression that might communicate the spirit of modern life.
