Abstract

Jaime Siles’ poetry is not only characterized by its more or less distanced and analytical reflections on language and the identity forged by language. It also contains a significant substratum of passion and sensuality, in which sensory experience does more than simply reveal the world; the senses become chan-nels through which amorous experience flows: the intense but fleeting fusion of lovers’ bodies. This substratum is undoubtedly an emotional counterpoint to the merely reflexive in his poetry and broadens it toward new horizons that still re-main practically unexplored today.
