Abstract
Considered the most important living poet of Peruvian poetry, Carlos Germán Belli’s poetics is characterized by its classical reminiscences and contemporary allusions, which make it an always disconcerting encounter. This occurs, for example, with the figure of his speaker. In this line, this article aims to identify the characteristics of the representation of the speaker in four Bellian poems: “Segregación N.° 1”, “El valle de heces”, “Sextina primera” and “Yo pese al paso largo de los años”. We argue that the intention of the lyrical subject of these poems is to account for his tragic uniqueness in modern capitalist society, which has deprived him of a poetic, political voice and banished him to inhabit the limits of the human condition.
