Un hombre y su atavío (Notas sobre la poesía de Enrique Badosa)
A Man and His Style (Notes on Enrique Bardosa’s Poetry).

Summary/Abstract: “De la historia presente de algún hombre” is the part where some of the most remarkable aspects of Enrique Badosa's poetic works are represented, such as his shyness in exposing his personal circumstances and the serenity characteristic of his poetic discourse. Belonging to Historias en Venecia, one of the capital works of its author, it is also a wonderful example of the thematisation of clothing as a vehicle to symbolize values related to the introspection of the poetic speaker andhis critical representation of society. The article touches on the author's gramatical strategies to hide beneath clothes made of words, and thoroughly analyses those poems dealing with the topic of clothing to detail the symbolism in each garment, proving, furthermore, how a seemingly light topic can be treated with a complete lack of frivolity.
