Abstract

This article focuses on the study of the meaning that death adopts in Gonzalo Millán’s writing, one of the key poets of the 1960 generation in Chile. The analysis, which favours commentary on texts, displays a view of his poetic production, though it emphasises the meanings that diaristic writing, the sick body, and the imminence of death adopt in Veneno de escorpión azul. Diario de vida y de muerte (2007) (Blue scorpion venom. Diary of life and death).
