Published eleven years after the end of the Franco dictatorship, Devocionario. Poesía intima (1986) by Ana Rossetti stands out in the lyrical panorama of the time for its massive recourse to a traditional set of images of the Christian religion, resemantised in the direction of the subjective tale of erotic desire. Through the analysis of sample poems, we intend to reason on the overall meaning of such a peculiar stylistic and content-related choice, with which the author seems to pursue a broader reflection on the very expressibility of poetic language. In a profoundly renewed historical and cultural context, and freed from all forms of control, Ana Rossetti's lyric poetry is confronted with the obscure, indomitable force of Eros, recognised as the only reality capable of overturning and annihilating norms and statutes of meaning.

Abstract
Published eleven years after the end of the Franco dictatorship, Devocionario. Poesía intima (1986) by Ana Rossetti stands out in the lyrical panorama of the time for its massive recourse to a traditional set of images of the Christian religion, resemantised in the direction of the subjective tale of erotic desire. Through the analysis of sample poems, we intend to reason on the overall meaning of such a peculiar stylistic and content-related choice, with which the author seems to pursue a broader reflection on the very expressibility of poetic language. In a profoundly renewed historical and cultural context, and freed from all forms of control, Ana Rossetti's lyric poetry is confronted with the obscure, indomitable force of Eros, recognised as the only reality capable of overturning and annihilating norms and statutes of meaning.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
