Abstract

This article addresses the poetry of the Mexican writer Francisco Hernández (Veracruz, 1946) based on the analogical hermeneutics of the philosopher Mauricio Beuchot. The analysis is centered on the poem “Act followed”, which is part of the book Screaming is a Dumb’s thing (1974), in which the topics of nothingness and faith are identified in the Biblical Apocalypse, linked from Hernández’s reinterpretation of the film The Seventh Seal (1957), by Ingmar Bergman. I study the meaning of these topics and the way in which the writer adopts them in his poetics.
