Negation of the Meaningful Space in Lorca's Poet in New York

Abstract

In this paper, my intention is to examine the negation of meaningful space as represented in images of emptiness, disorientation, and the void. It summons death in the name of everlasting life and attempts to give voice to silence. Lorca's Poet in New York is the site of unique convergence of two desires, one for social revolution and the other to revolutionize poetic discourse by pushing language beyond its limits.
