| Summary: | 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. |
