Summary: | An approach to Miguel Angel Bustos's poetry requires a methodological reexamination that does not sever its semantic flow. A poetry that seeks deep and heightened sense and that conceives its word as verb of divine origin cannot be analyzed without the understanding of the prefigured transcendence of its genesis.
