Abstract

This article aims to study the poetic creation of the contemporary Mexican poet Xavier Villaurrutia, focusing mainly on the aspect of the intensification of reality as an omnipotent presence in his work, which is felt through a constant revitalization of space and time. It seeks to analyze how this intensification is related to a depolarization between the ideas of life and death and how death is reflected and represented in his production. Finally, a special focus is made on the theme of eroticism in his poetic production, an inseparable theme from the representation of death itself.
