RAMOS, Gabriel. La articulación del lenguaje surrealista de César Moro. Lexis [online]. 2015, vol.39, n.1, pp.101-132. ISSN 0254-9239.

César Moro’s work represents the main achievement of surrealism in Latin American Literature. His poetic strategy is best defined in La tortuga ecuestre, where he reaches the maximum width of his artistic attainment. His style is characterized by a variant of automatism, which is supported by plenty of nominal phrases, repetitions, anaphors, etc., from where the poem’s rhythm is derived. Moro’s surrealist discourse proposes the destruction of previous orders of perception and experience. The lover’s discourse is established through the tension between the persistence of desire, and the presence and absence of the beloved. It is constantly broken down, thus recreating the world, its Nature and its sense.

Keywords : poetics; figures of repetition; surrealism; La tortuga ecuestre.
