Ansiedad de la autoría en la voz poética de La batalla de Sara de Ibáñez

In La batalla, the Uruguayan poet Sara de Ibáñez becomes a warrior and confronts the literary patriarchal tradition through a fragmented poetic voice from different points of view: first person, third person, and the splitting of the poetic voice. Her poetry, characterized by the syncretism and the polysemy of the neo-baroque, proves Ibáñez’s great talent for the use of rhetorical figures and the creation of unusual, innovative, and unique images. Simultaneously, her compositions reveal the anxiety of authorship experienced by many female writers; the fear that the act of writing will isolate or destroy them. Through her verses, Sara de Ibáñez experiments, confronts, and overcomes this anxiety. The battle between life and death; silence and song; fragility and strength; and body and spirit directs all the attention to the eminent winner: a poetry for everyone that does not disappear with the death of the body and reaches eternity through its voice.
