Abstract

Maurice Blanchot, writer and critic, has devoted numerous pages of literary criticism to considerations on the poetic language and silence, engaging in dialogues with the writings of various poets and extracting from them modulations of the modern lyric. This paper aims to revisit part of these reflections, as well as Blanchot’s contribution to the poetry of modernity, especially the 20th century’s, a period marked by two world wars and by widespread violence.
