Resumen

This article, based on the link between the biography, the data of the judicial process and the poems “III”, “XVIII” and “XXIII” by Trilce, explores the image of César Vallejo in prison and aspects of his poetic renewal. The idea that guides this study is that the mentioned poems are outlined as poetic spaces in which the poetic voice, motivated by the imaginary presence of the mother, registers the declaration of its aesthetic freedom. For this purpose, first, supported by the Vallejo letters and the legal documentation information of the Vallejo file documents compiled by Germán Patron Candela, the vital circumstances of the poet related to the prison experience are specified; then, following the approach of Rafael Lapesa and Gaston Bachelard, the analysis and interpretation of the images and poetic spaces in the aforementioned poems is carried out; finally, it reflects on the link between poetic creation, tenderness and freedom «experienced» by César Vallejo.
