Tres poetas franco-uruguayos (Ducasse, Laforgue, Supervielle): Los caminos secretos de la literatura*

This article evokes the life and work of two almost adolescent poets, born in Montevideo, who die at a very young age: Ducasse and Laforgue, whose works are banned or very little known by their contemporaries but who, with the passing of time, become the spearhead of avant-garde movements or the inspiration for later movements or poets: the surrealists,T.S. Eliot. The same as that of another poet, Supervielle, also born in Montevideo, of long life, who almost testifies the entire twentieth century, and who also marks important guidelines for the poetry of the world. Friend of the Ecuadorian poet Alfredo Gangotena, to whom he dedicates a long evocation on the day of his death.
