Abstract
This essay discusses the poetics of Peruvian poet Javier Sologuren as a lifework focused on the relationship between humanity and nature. By the 1980s, this essay argues, Sologuren's poetics moves from a process that presented a 'universal' and traditionally Western representation of nature followed by a historically and culturally-marked landscape and substrate, to a cosmological approach that acknowledges the threatening existence of the Anthropocene. The essay argues that Sologuren presents the alternative action of a Noosphere as a force of hope for the global continuity of life.
