This essay is a reading of the poetry of César Dávila Andrade, proposing some interpretative keys to approach to the intensely, strange and powerful poetic work of one of the greatest poets of Latin America, and yet very
little known. Reading addresses this singular poetic adventure as a bold attempt to reach absolute knowledge, full enlightenment, which eventually destroy the possibility of meaning and precipitate into the abyss of silence
and nothingness. However, the paper shows the deep rooting of this poetry in the material world, body and language.
