Beskrivning:The starting point for this paper is an event which happened on July 27, 1947 in Buenos Aires, the Poetry Festival. Within this festival, the Recital de Poesía al servicio de la verdad took place. Several exiled Spanish and Hispano-american poets who supported the republican cause and the antifascist fight took part in it. Among them, there was León Felipe, whose work and biographical trajectory are undoubtedly less known than other participants' – like Rafael Alberti or Pablo Neruda. For this reason, I examine here some aspects of his poetics, aiming at identifying recurrent images and topics. Taking as reference one of his main works, Ganarás la luz (1943), I approach the deep relationship between poetry and biography, the image of wind and the process of permanent rewriting.
