Resumen

SEFAMI, Jacobo. From hopelessness to wholeness: the epiphanic revelation in the poetry of Álvaro Mutis. Acta poét [online]. 2015, vol.36, n.1, pp.87-104. ISSN 2448-735X.

The boundaries between prose and verse, the presence of different characters' voices, wich act as semi-heteronyms and orbit the texts giving a certain distance to the poetic self; the journey into the past as a revelatory experience and the insuffiency of word as the means of expression are the principal subjects of Álvaro Mutis's poetry. In this essay, the concept of epiphany, understood as a representation of the perfect order or as an indecipherable formula of an enigma in the face of the agonistic circumstances of disaster, unifies the colombian's poetic work.

Palabras llave : Álvaro Mutis; Latin American poetry; prose and verse; epiphany; revelation.
