Abstract

Hilda May, Gonzalo Roja’s wife, collected in Las Hermosas (1991), the work of the Chi-lean dedicated to women. Women populate his poetic universe in a seamless encounter between the material and quotidian with the metaphysical and numinous realms. In this article, through a close reading of two poems in the collection and references to others, I will argue that music, rhythm, and the sen-suous quality of language constitute the communicating vessels between Eros and Transcendence in the poetry of the Chilean dedicated to women.
