This study focuses upon the work of the Catalan woman poet
Maria-Merce Marcal. It analyses the interaction between body and
language in her first five books of poetry. Drawing on the Italian
feminist thought of il pensiero della differenza sessuale, it
examines the ways in which Marcal's poetic images display her
Catalan feminine subjectivity, including the function of the poet,
the space of poetry and the representation of love. It also
explores the potentiality of the space of poetry to reconstruct
female identity and reconfigure reality. In addition, it unravels
the way in which the poet uses poetry to express the love for the
other whilst also extending the boundaries of the self. The central
concern is to bridge the fissure between female experience and
universal precepts on the art of poetry through the predominance of
an embodied and natural iconography. This study presents Marcal's
poetic compositions within the international panorama of poetry and
feminist studies and aims to open up new terrains of discussion in
the field of language, body and writing."
