FARIAS RANGEL, Gerardo. Cuerpo, trópico y tiempo: elementos de creación identitaria en la poesía de Nicolás Guillén. Valenciana [online]. 2012, vol.5, n.10, pp.155-181. ISSN 2007-2538.

This article approaches the Cuban poet Nicolás Guillén's work focusing on the collection West Indies Ltd., first published in 1934, also taking into consideration other poems of his previous and later works, this with the aim of analyzing his proposal of creating a new identity, a telluric ontology, based on the material elements, above metaphysics, as a response to a series of existential questions originated inside the lyrical voice which takes the Body and its relations with the Tropic and the Time as the fundamental basis of the poetic creation.

Keywords : Nicolás Guillén; Cuban poetry; identity; body; telluric ontology.
