VELASCO ESTRADA, Jaime. Love and death: A reading of “Nocturno del hueco” by Federico García Lorca. Valenciana [online]. 2023, vol.16, n.31, pp.189-213.  Epub 28-Abr-2023. ISSN 2007-2538.  https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v15i31.692.

In this paper the poem “Nocturno del hueco” (Poeta en Nueva York, 1927) by Federico García Lorca is studied, from an approach to the way in which the 'hollow' is constructed in the poetic voice. It tries to explain how and why García Lorca uses images related to the natural world (plants, animals and the four elements). First, it is observed how the poet uses the senses: there is a close relationship between the senses and the way natural elements appear. The senses determine the interpretation that we can have of the natural elements: their meaning is conditioned by a presence or absence that is noticed only by them. It is intuited that the void that inhabits the poetic self widens to the point of bordering on death. In sense, the separation of lovers is a death: a death of love, the other, and one's own.
