Abstract

This work focuses on the metaphysical aspects of the first stage of Pablo de Rokha’s poetic work and sustains that the resignification of death, through the poet’s hyperbolic treatment of the concept, brings, conversely, a Dionysian intensification of life. This leads to an intramundane, heteroclite and vitalist eschatological poetics. This essay suggests that these results are reaffirmed in the intertextual combination of the thinking of Heraclitus of Ephesus, Nietzsche, Rabelais and Baudelaire, as philosophical and literary references, respectively.
