Resumen
El gran zoo (1984), del poeta cubano Nicolás Guillén, ofrece distintas representaciones sobre el Caribe. El artículo argumenta que el texto de Nicolás Guillén se inscribe dentro del movimiento literario hispa-noamericano de la neovanguardia. Luego, se examinan algunas carac-terísticas formales del texto, tomando como ejemplo los poemas “El sueño” y “Guitarra”. Otro poema que se estudia con más detenimiento es “El tenor”, el cual parodia la división entre la alta cultura y la cul-tura popular. Por último, se analizan varias alusiones del poemario al contexto histórico de la Guerra Fría y la Carrera Espacial.
