En el Jardín cerrado de Emilio Prados. Entre destierro y exilio interior

The article examines the representation of exile and internal exile in Jardín cerrado (1946), work written by Emilio Prados, one of the "minor" members of the famous Spanish Generation of 1927. The poems contained in this work are analyzed according to the recent landscape studies, giving emphasis, however, also to the most recurring themes, such as nature, landscape, body, solitude, death, and God. The structure of Jardín cerrado is elaborate, composed of four main books and several sub-sections. It offers a wide selection of poems, ranging from classical to modern poetic forms and styles. Starting from an autobiographical history, the poet writes about his ups and downs during his Mexican exile and then confesses to his reader his expectations and his wishes to achieve a new reality of transcendence beyond the limits of his body and the misery of the world and death.
