Languages Faculty Publications
Through an analysis of key examples of Guillén's use of nature throughout his poetry, this article presents the argument that they all are fundamentally rooted in a configuration of nature as a living being and in an understanding of humanity's place as part of nature.

The collections examined here are West Indies, Ltd., El son entero, and La paloma de vuelo popula.
