Abstract
Amelia Biagioni, an Argentinean writer from the middle of the 20th century, recreates a Dantesque world in her collection of poems entitled El Humo. There are innumerable literary expressions that emerge from the Commedia. However, Biagioni’s view sheds light on both the metaphysical and human crisis of modern thinking. The Dantesque journey, an upward voyage towards the union of man and God through which complete fulfillment is achieved, is described tacitly in this collection of poems as an inner journey that ends with the dissolution of the individual self. The intertextual approach to Dante, based on words, images and compositional organization, becomes dramatic under the influence of different existentialist philosophers.
