Head Injury. The poetic writing of Legna Rodríguez Iglesias

Abstract

In the early 2000s Cuban literary panorama, poetry is one of the most renovating aesthetic expressions. A group of authors called Generación Años Cero (Zero Years Generation) by specialized critics stands out in this context. This article aims at analyzing the poetry of Legna Rodríguez Iglesias, one of the most prominent voices of this group of writers. The focus on abjection as an essential representation strategy is a relevant key to understand the construction of the Self within her work.
