SANHUEZA JEREZ, Diego. POETRY AND DEATH: HUMBERTO DÍAZ-CASANUEVA'S ORPHISM. Escritos - Fac. Filos. Let. Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2017, vol.25, n.54, pp.45-58. ISSN 0120-1263.  https://doi.org/10.18566/escr.v25n54.a03.

The article presents a philosophical analysis of the poetry of Humberto Díaz-Casanueva. Thus, the purpose is to reveal his main motivations, those that made of his poetry unique within Chilean Literature. Following a hint of the poet himself, it is argued that his poetry might be considered as "Orphic", which entails a direct link with death. It is also proposed that two moments might be distinguished in such an Orphism: dancing and stuttering, and that such a poetry reaches its final form with the latter.

Keywords : Death; Poetry; Orphism; Meaning; Stuttering.
