Abstract

The oeuvre of Canadian writer Anne Carson poses new challenges to our understanding of poetry. This article approaches Carson's poetics by discussing some theoretical ideas that can be traced in her essays, interviews, and poems. More specifically, this paper addresses literary questions such as metaphor, genre hybridization, and the role of the subject in the poem, in the light of what we call here a poetics of wrongness, which is developed mainly in her poem "Essay on What I Think About Most". We explore these issues by means of intracomparative analysis which leads us to interpret the metaphor of hunger as a figure that combines through synaesthesia bodily and mental experiences, two traditionally separate and opposed semiotic realms.

La obra de la canadiense Anne Carson plantea nuevos retos a nuestro modo de entender la poesía. En este artículo se propone un acercamiento a su poética a partir de algunas de las ideas teóricas que podemos rastrear en sus ensayos, entrevistas y poemas. De manera más específica, se estudian problemas literarios como la metáfora, la hibridación de géneros o el papel del sujeto en el poema a la luz de lo que aquí llamamos una poética de la incorrección, desarrollada principalmente en su poema ensayístico "Essay on What I Think About Most". En particular, se explora cómo se presentan estas cuestiones en su poesía a través del análisis intracomparatístico y de la interpretación de la metáfora del hambre como mecanismo poético que solapa de forma sinestésica las experiencias del cuerpo y de la mente, dos planos semióticos tradicionalmente separados y opuestos.
