Mi ataúd abierto

La mirada de Aquiles es un llibre que recull, descriu i analitza el gran acord que representa la poètica de Robert Lowell en la conjuntura de la literatura nord-americana contemporània. Així concentrem la nostra mirada sobre la seqüència poètica de Life Studies (1959), que interpretem com a epicentre irradiador del sistema imaginari d?aquest poeta.

El libro analiza a Don Juan y a Segismundo desde un punto de vista aparentemente inhabitual: su existencia no ya como “literatura”, sino como mitos. El análisis del mito como tal implica su descomposición en elementos mínimos significativos o mitemas, y en espacios asimismo significativos en los que se disponen dichos mitemas.
