Abstract
VITAL, Alberto. "Arte poética" in six Latin American poets of the 20th century. Alfonso Reyes, Vicente Huidobro, Jorge Luis Borges, Manuel Bandeira, Pablo Neruda and Jaime Torres Bodet. Lit. mex [online]. 2011, vol.22, n.1, pp.159-188. ISSN 2448-8216.
The article analizes the always significant fact that six great Latin American poets have written a poem with identical title, "Arte poética," in not more than fifty years (five of them in a period barely longer than three decades: between 1916 and 1949): Vicente Huidobro, Alfonso Reyes, Pablo Neruda, Manuel Bandeira, Jaime Torres Bodet and Jorge Luis Borges. It proposes that we consider the concept of "Arte poética" as a sub-genre and a function which overrides the 19th century function of precepts.
