Poetic forms and the lyrical subject in El rayo que no cesa, Viento del pueblo and Cancionero y romancero de ausencias, poetics between formal tradition and auto-definition
The subject Miguel Hernández has created in three important collections of poems, El rayo que no cesa, Viento del pueblo, and Cancionero y romancero de ausencias draws up poetics within poetry. The expression of poetics is pervaded in the formal tradition that characterizes El rayo que no cesa, and builds up a permanent auto-definition; though the context makes the poetic language more and more ideological, Hernández’s poems also define the making of poetry on the whole.
