Abstract

Although the poetic work of María Rosa Lojo began in the mid-1980s and was consolidated in the following decade, the urban imprint that characterizes some of her contemporaries is not noticeable in her, but rather specific references. All in all, it is possible to identify a series of poems that could be included within what Cañas calls “poetry of the city” and in whose chronological succession the evolution of the vision of the subject can be seen: from falsehood and alienation, to, through the house, home. This transformation can be read as the development of the idea of rootedness in Lojian poetry, concomitant to the mutation of the notion of border that runs through it: from a solitary limit to a space of exchange.
