Works
Works
The work of de Rokha is collected in four publications: • Prophetic Song to the First World, 1944. • The Visible Order, 1956. • Memorial and Keys, 1964. • Pavana Rooster and the Harlequin, 1967 (second edition, 2002). Enrique Lihn refers to the low coverage of de Rokha's work thus: • "The poetry of Carlos de Rokha is one that would leave historiara gainful if, indeed, the whole of our literature. With its own characteristics, and distinct from other works, de Rokha recorded all-expressive formal concerns that have contributed to the development of a small but brilliant literary tradition."
