Abstract

This study focuses on the view of the ground in Drummond's poetics, which is established as an angle of observation, but also of movement and poetic art that serves to build the foundations of his poetry, a continuous and transversal movement in his creation through which the poetic subject is self-characterized. This work aims to analyze this perspective by combining it with other resources that bring us back to the concreteness and plasticity of images. Finally, this work focuses on how this perspective is a form of intensification of reality that is also connected to an experience of eroticism.
