| Description: | El gran zoo (1984), by the Cuban poet Nicolás Guillén, offers various representations of the Caribbean. The article argues that this poetry book falls within the tradition of the Post Avant-garde literary movement in Spanish America. Additionally, various formal characteristics of the text are examined, as exemplified in the poems “The Dream” and “Guitar”. Another poem that receives close attention is “The Tenor”, which parodies the division between high culture and popular culture. Lastly, several allusions of the poetry book to the historical context of the Cold War and the Space Race are analyzed. |
