Pablo Neruda, gastropoetry, food studies, Chilean poetry, Latin American poetryAbstract
Taking food studies as a theoretical framework, this article offers a critical reading of two odes on food by Pablo Neruda. It also establishes intertextual relations among poets from the Hispanic world. Finally, it reflects on the rhetorical figures the Chilean Nobel Prize winner used to convey ideologically committed discourses concerning food to demonstrate that food is a common good that must be accessible to all.
